Attn: President/CEO
Sir,
SEEKING URGENT ASSISTANCE
It is true that we have not met nor spoken with each other
before, therefore this letter may take you unawares. I humbly
plead for co-operation and ask that you treat with dispatch.
My name is Matthew Ebo , a Project Auditor with the
newly re-constituted Petroleum Trust Fund (Interim Management
Committee). The duty of this committee amongst others includes
the verification and settlement of outstanding contract dues.
The former Chairman of this Agency in the person of Major
General Muhammed Buhari was recently sacked from office by
the new civilian regime due to inefficiency. This new Committee
(IMC) has been appointed by Government to oversee the activities
of the agency by verifying all outstanding debts with the
sole objective of settling such long over-due claims. The
above information can be verified, i.e. the existence of PTF,
sack of the former Chairman and the constitution of a new
Interim Management Committee in order to repose confidence
in this letter.
Going through some files the former Chairman left behind,
we discovered that he has secured out of the Central Bank
of Nigeria Forex Release the sum of US$34M for the payment
of Supply; installation and Commissioning of HIV Screening
and Confirmatory Kit (PTF Estate Project) to a foreign contractor.
He was caught in the web of trying to transfer the funds to
a ghost company abroad when he was removed from office. In
confidence, we know that the goods and services were not supplied
but used his exulted office to approve the payment in favor
of a foreign firm with no fixed address. Our further enquiries
proved that there was a similar project actually executed
by a different company and has been paid in full. He only
over invoiced the amount with a bogus name for personal benefit.
This amount right now is left floating in the system unclaimed.
I am now soliciting your co-operation to enable us process
the transfer of the funds to your account. You can provide
any company's name as long as you will be able to receive
and withdraw the amount. It will be treated as one of the
outstanding payments due to you on executed contract. We will
take measure to duly register your company here in Nigeria
to give it legitimacy and also raise Contract Award Certificate
in your company's name to show that a contract was actually
awarded and executed by you. We therefore need immediately
from you your current contact particulars; your company name
and account particulars to enable us file application for
Foreign Exchange Allocation Order at the Federal Ministry
of Finance. Note that the nature of your business does not
matter.
For your participation and investing in this project, we are
prepared to concede 25% of the total sum to you. On completion
of the project, we will direct you on how to repatriate our
share to us. Note very well that this is a well-articulated
and monitored transaction. Therefore as soon as the funds
are remitted into your account, all documents related to the
transfer will be destroyed. I, two of my colleagues and you
only know of this arrangement. Therefore confidentiality should
be our watchword. If the above request meets your approval,
please send immediately the requested information via my private
email address stated above
Best Regards
Mr. Matthew Ebo
