SIR,
WE ARE SENDING THIS LETTER TO YOU BASED ON THE
INFORMATION WE GATHERED FROM THE FOREIGN TRADE OFFICE
OF THE NIGERIAN CHAMBER OF COMMERCE AND INDUSTRY. WE
BELIEVE THAT YOU WOULD BE IN A GOOD POSITION TO HELP
US IN OUR BID TO TRANSFER THE SUM OF TWENTY MILLION,
EIGHT HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED STATES DOLLARS (US$20.8)
INTO A FOREIGN ACCOUNT.
WE ARE MEMBERS OF THE SPECIAL COMMITTE FOR BUDGET AND
PLANNING OF THE FEDERAL MINISTRY OF PETROLEUM AND
NATURAL RESOURCES, THIS COMMITTEE IS PRINCIPALLY
CONCERNED WITH CONTRACT APPRAISALS AND APPROVAL IN
ORDER OF PRIORITIES AS REGARDS CAPITAL PROJECT OF THE
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT OF NIGERIA. WITH OUR POSITIONS, WE
HAVE SUCCESSFULLY SECURED FOR OURSELVES THE SUM OF
TWENTY MILLION,EIGHT HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED STATES
DOLLARS (US$20.8M). THIS AMOUNT WAS ACCUMULATED
THROUGH UNDECLARED WINDFALL FROM SALES OF CRUDE OIL
DURING THE GULF WAR.
WHAT WE NEED FROM YOU IS TO PROVIDE A SAFE ACCOUNT
INTO WHICH THE FUNDS WILL BE TRANSFERRED SINCE
GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS ARE NOT ALLOWED BY OUR LAWS TO
OPERATE FOREIGN ACCOUNT. IT HAS BEEN AGREED THAT THE
OWNER OF THE ACCOUNT WILL BE COMPENSATED WITH 20% OF
THE REMITTED FUNDS,WE SHALL
KEEP 70% WHILE 10% WILL BE SET ASIDE TO OFFSET ANY
EXPENSES INCLUDING TAXES THAT MAY BE INCURRED BY BOTH
PARTIES IN THE COURSE OF THE TRANSACTION.
IT MAY INTEREST YOU TO KNOW THAT TWO YEARS AGO A
SIMILAR TRANSACTION WAS CARRIED OUT WITH ONE MR.
PATRICE MILLER, THE PRESIDENT OF CRAINE INTERNATIONAL
TRADING CORPORATION AT NUMBER 135, EAST 57TH STREET,
28TH FLOOR, NEWYORK. 10022 WITH TELEPHONE (212)
308-7788 AND TELEX NUMBER 6731689, AFTER THE AGREEMENT
BETWEEN BOTH PARTNERS IN WHICH HE WAS TO TAKE 5% THE
MONEY WAS DULY TRANSFERRED INTO HIS ACCOUNT ONLY FOR
US TO BE DISAPPOINTED ON OUR ARRIVAL IN NEW YORK AS
WE WERE RELIABLY INFORMED THAT MR. PATRICE MILLER WAS
NO LONGER ON THAT ADDRESS WHILE HIS TELEPHONE AND
TELEX NUMBERS HAVE BEEN REALLOCATED TO SOMEBODY ELSE.
THIS WAS HOW WE LOST US$27.5M TO MR. PATRICE MILLER.
THIS TIME AROUND WE NEED A MORE RELIABLE AND
TRUSTWORTHY PERSON OR A REPUTABLE COMPANY TO DO
BUSINESS WITH, HENCE THIS LETTER TO YOU. SO IF YOU CAN
PROVE YOURSELF TO BE TRUSTWORTHY AND INTERESTED IN
THIS DEAL THEN WE ARE PREPARED TO DO BUSINESS WITH
YOU. WHAT WE WANT FROM YOU IS THE ASSURANCE THAT YOU
WILL LET US HAVE OUR SHARE WHEN THIS FUND IS
TRANSFERRED INTO YOUR ACCOUNT.
IF THIS PROPOSAL SATISFIES YOU, PLEASE FAX, OR
E-MAIL YOUR RESPONSE TO james.osca2@(protected) SO THAT WE CAN ADVICE YOU ON
THE
MODALITIES OF THIS TRANSACTION. ALL MODALITIES OF THE
TRANSFER HAVE BEEN WORKED OUT AND ONCE STARTED WILL
NOT TAKE MORE THAN 14 WORKING DAYS WITH THE ABSOLUTE
COOPERATION OF ALL CONCERNED. THIS TRANSACTION IS 100%
SAFE.
IT MIGHT BE DIFFICULT FOR YOU TO GET THROUGH TO ME
BECAUSE OF MY COUNTRY�S POOR TELECOMMUNICATION SYSTEM.
HOWEVER, ANY TIME YOU TRY TO REACH ME AND YOU GET A
BUSY SIGNAL PLEASE KEEP TRYING, YOU WILL DEFINITELY
GET THROUGH.
PLEASE TREAT AS URGENT AND VERY CONFIDENTIAL. GOD BE
WITH YOU AS I LOOK FORWARD TO YOUR REPLY.
YOURS FAITHFULLY,
JAMES OSCA
