THE ABOVE FUND IN QUESTION IS NOT CONNECTED WITH ARMS, DRUGS OR MONEY LAUNDERING. IT IS THE PRODUCT OF OVER INVOICE ON CONTRACT AWARDED IN 2007 BY INEC, TO FOREIGN COMPANIES FOR THE SUPPLY OF ELECTORAL MATERIALS THAT WAS USED FOR CONDUCTING 2007 ELECTIONS.

THE CONTRACT HAS LONG BEEN EXECUTED AND PAYMENT OF THE ACTUAL CONTRACT AMOUNT MADE TO THE FOREIGN Contractor’s), LEAVING THE BALANCE OF EIGHT MILLION, TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND U.S DOLLARS IN A SUSPENSE ACCOUNT WHICH MY COLLEAGUES AND I NOW WANT TO TRANSFER OUT OF NIGERIA INTO A RELIABLE FOREIGN ACCOUNT FOR OUR PERSONAL USE. AS CIVIL SERVANTS, WE DO NOT HAVE THE NECESSARY FOREIGN ACCOUNT MACHINERY TO SUCCESSFULLY HANDLE THIS TRANSACTION.

THEREFORE IT BECOMES NECESSARY TO SOURCE FOR A FOREIGN COMPANY WITH THE CAPABILITY TO ACT AS THE ORIGINAL BENEFICIARY OF THE CONTRACT.

MY DEAR, IT IS A GOOD THING THAT THE PRESIDENT HAS ENDORSED THE RESOLUTION PASSED BY THE SENATE THAT ALL FOREIGN CONTRACTORS OWED BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT OF NIGERIA SHOULD BE PAID, WE WILL SEIZE THIS GOOD OPPORTUNITY TO PURPORT YOU AS ONE OF THE BENEFICIARIES TO BE PAID.

BUT IF FOR ANY REASON, YOU CAN NOT BE ABLE TO ASSIST ME, I SHALL BE GRATEFUL IF YOU CAN INTRODUCE IT TO A RELIABLE AND TRUST WORTHY PERSON TO ASSIST US.

MEANWHILE, MY COLLEAGUES AND I HAVE DECIDED TO OFFER YOU 25% OF THE TOTAL AMOUNT FOR YOUR KIND COOPERATION AND ASSISTANCE IN TRANSFERRING THE FUND INTO YOUR ACCOUNT, WHILE 75% WILL BE FOR ME AND MY COLLEAGUES IN THE OFFICE FURTHER DETAILS ABOUT THIS TRANSACTION WILL BE DISCUSSED IN THE SUBSEQUENT CORRESPONDENCE.

THIS TRANSACTION WILL BE TREATED WITH UTMOST CONFIDENTIALLY TO AVOID SCANDAL ON OUR PART AS WE ARE STILL SERVING.
