Dear Sir,
I=92m MR ALHAJI IBRAHIM MANTU of the Accounts Department of Petroleum =
(Special) Trust Fund (PTF), an institution established by the Federal =
Government of Nigeria to manage the proceeds from the sale of Petroleum =
products as well as the application of the funds in contract execution. My =
colleagues and I are inclined to contact you in view of a high-level business =
(deal) that we want to strike with you.
It is quite natural to be surprised when somebody you do not know before =
contacts you, especially when it comes to a business of this type. The choice =
of picking you for the deal is based on satisfactory enquiries and reports =
that we gathered about your person. The source of our information shall be =
disclosed to you in the course of this transaction.
The deal stems from an over-valued invoice of a contract executed in our =
institution, PTF for the upgrading of facilities at the Kaduna refineries. =
The actual contract value was USD$40.5 Million but at the point of approval, =
it was deliberately inflated to USD$70.8 Million, which was approved as such. =
The contract has since been executed and the original German contractor, =
Dresser Gmbh has been paid the actual contract value of USD$40.5 Million =
which is the only money due to him, leaving the over-valued sum of USD$30.3 =
Million still hanging in our system unclaimed. This is the deal and this is =
where we want you to come in.
As employees within the system, we have since perfected arrangement through =
which the fund (USD$30.3 Million) can be transferred out. However, the only =
way this can be done successfully is with the collaboration of an oversea =
partner. It has to be so because since it is a foreign denominated contract =
the destination of the fund must be an oversea account, to avoid any =
suspicion of any sort. Also we have perfected arrangements such that the =
routing of the transfer will be erased from the systems so that there would =
be no trace of the fund to you or to any of the parties involved, as soon as =
you confirm the money in your account.
However, it is also very important to say that as somebody from a Royal =
family with integrity and reputation, secrecy and absolute confidentiality is =
uttermost to me, as I will not want to do anything that would tarnish the =
name of my family. Thus, the only condition under which the deal will be =
prosecuted is for it to be kept in absolute secrecy and confidentiality. I =
just hope that you will give me this all-important guarantee; otherwise there =
will be no need to start in the first place. If this secrecy can be kept by =
you, I require you to provide us with the following information to enable us =
obtain necessary approvals and authorizations for the transfer of the fund.
1. Bank Co-ordinates, including the name of the bank, =
address, account number etc.
2. Name of the company that will serve as beneficiary of the =
fund.
3. Your private telephone and fax numbers that will be used =
to facilitate the transaction.
On my part, I can be reached on the above stated telephone and fax numbers. =
Since it is a deal, we intend all the parties involved to have commensurate =
share of the fund when it gets to your account. While the sharing pattern =
cannot be reached now, it is our hope that it is something that would be =
finally agreed upon as we get started. For now we propose as follows:
1. The Nigerian group 60%
2. Account owner (Yourself) 30%
3. Contingencies 10%
Contingencies in this context are defined as any cost that any of the parties =
may incur in the course of the transaction; viz: Air tickets, accommodation, =
bills etc.
In conclusion, as we go on in the transaction, you will also have to advise =
us on the type of investment in your country that we could put our own share =
into, as we do not intend to bring back our entire share to our country.
Your early response will be highly appreciated.
MR ALHAJI IBRAHIM MANTU.
