Sir, REQUEST FOR URGENT BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP  

First, I must solicit your strictest confidence in this transaction. This is by virtue of its nature as being utterly confidential and 'top secret'. I got your contact from the Nigeria Chambers of Commerce and Industries. We are top officials of the Federal Government of Nigeria contract Review Committee who are interested in importation of goods into our country with funds which are presently trapped in Nigeria. In order to commence this business we solicit your assistance to enable us transfer into your account this said trapped funds.  

 However, the funds under discussion total US$37M (Thirty-seven MIllion five hundred thousand United States Dollars) Only. The source of these funds is as follows: During the last military Regime here in Nigeria, the Government Officials set up companies and awarded themselves contracts which were grossly over-invoiced in various ministries.  

 To this effect the present civilian Government set up a Contract Review Committee and we have identified a lot of inflated contract funds which are presently floating in the Central Bank of Nigeria ready for payment. However, by virtue of our position as civil servants and members of this committee, we cannot acquire the money in our names.  

 I have therefore, been delegated as a matter of trust by my colleagues of the committee to look for an overseas partner into whose account we can transfer the sum of US$37.5M (THIRTY SEVEN MILLION FIVE HUNDERED THOUSAND UNITED STATE DOLLARS). Hence we are writing you this letter. We have agreed to share the money thus:  1. 30% for the Account owner (you)  2. 60% for us (The Officials)  3. 10% to be used in settling taxation and all local and foreign expenses. It is from the above 60% that we wish to commence the importation business.  

 Please, note that this transaction is 100% safe and it will take us latest six (6) banking days from the date of the receipt of the following information from you:  Your Banker's name, your company's name and address, Account number, telephone and fax number. The above information will enable us write letters of claim and job description respectively. This way we will use your company's name to apply for payment and re-award the contract in your company's name.  We are looking forward to doing business with you and solicit your confidentiality in this transaction. I will bring you into the complete picture of this pending project when I have heard from you.  Awaiting your urgent response.  

Yours faithfully,   

ENGR;JOHN OGBU
