Dr. John Efetobor

Treasury Controller

Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation.

Fax:234.9.2721413

 

 

Dear Sir,

 

BUSINESS PROPOSAL.

 

I am the Treasury Controller, Nigerian National Petroleum

Corporation [NNPC] and a close associate of the immediate past Minister

of Petroleum Resources.

 

The Minister has mandated me to transfer the sum of US$88 millions

Recovered from an over-invoiced contracts involving the Nigerian

National Petroleum Corporation [NNPC] into several private account in

Europe and United States. A total sum of US$73,700,000.00 has been

transferred before the emergence of this present Civilian

Administration, leaving the balance of US$14,300,000.00.

 

I have made proper arrangement/documentation to transfer the balance

Which is retained in a coded account of the NNPC with the Central Bank

of Nigeria. We are soliciting that you help us to receive the fund in

trust. We cannot complete this transaction smoothly without the

participation of a foreign partner who would provide an account where

the funds could be lodged. Since it is a contract payment, the funds

must be remitted to a foreign account. The remittance of the funds

requires little documentation that would be completed as soon as you

provide us with a secured bank account where you may wish to receive the

money.

 

There is no risk involved on your part in this transaction since the

Former Minister and I have covered this transaction with adequate

contract and external credit documents from the beginning.

 

What we require from you by fax or Email are viz:

 

{i} Acceptance letter of this offer

 

{ii} Your company name and confidential telephone and fax numbers

 

{iii} Convincing Honesty, Trustworthiness and Willingness to abide by

the requirements of this proposal paramount of which is CONFIDENTIALITY.

 

We have agreed that you will retain 20% of the entire

US$14,300,000.00 for your effort in this transaction, 70% for us

partners here in Nigeria and the remaining 10% will be used for defrayal

of incidental cost in the course of this transfer.

 

Please reply urgently by e-mail or fax as we expect that the

Transaction will not take more than ten working days. And please note

that this transaction must be top secret.

 

Best regards,

 

 

Dr. J. O. Efetobor

Treasury Controller

I jUST got This One...

 

Dear Sir, ASSISTANCE REQUIRED FOR ACQUISITION OF ESTATES I write this to inform you of my desire to acquire estates or landed properties in your country on behalf of the Director of Contracts and Finance Allocation of the Federal Ministry of Works and Housing in Nigeria. Considering his very strategic and influential position, he would want the transaction to be strictly confidential. He further wants his identity to remain undisclosed at least for now, until the completion of the transaction. Hence, our desire to have an overseas agent. I have therefore been directed to inquire if you would agree to act as our overseas agent in order to actualize this transaction. The deal, in brief, is that the funds with which we intend to effect our proposed investments in your country is presently in a coded account at the Nigeria Apex Bank (i.e. the Central Bank of Nigeria) and we need your assistance to transfer the funds to your country in a convenient bank account that will be provided by you before we can put the funds into use in your country. For this, you shall be considered to have executed a contract for the Federal Ministry of Works and Housing in Nigeria for which payment should be effected to you by the Ministry. The contract sum of which shall add up to US$26.4 Million, of which your share shall be 20% on your assent to the proposal. Sequel to the successful execution of this transaction,we hope to use our share of the proceeds to invest [with your assistance]in real estates in your country and elsewhere.Be assured that this transaction is totally risk-free and all procedures must be legitimate in order to facilitate its realization. If you are interested and capable of handling a transaction of this nature that entails absolute discretion and trustworthiness,please contact me promptly for further briefing on its actuation.You will have to furnish me with the following information for easy communication: Your personal fax number Your personal telephone number.

Dear Omar,

 

In furtherance to your response in which you indicated your positive disposition towards cooperating with us, I hereby convey the approvals of my colleague that I continue discussion with you on this our mutual beneficial project.In a nutshell, the company/person needed must be very reliable. The funds when released will be invested in your country over a period of time with your company's assistance. However, due to the sensitive nature of our positions in the Ministry, we do not want to be directly involved, but be rest assured that you would be directed accordingly. And I strictly advice that the transaction be kept between us only to avoid jeopardizing it. The funds would be released legally and necessary precautions have been taken to safe guide the intended beneficiary and us by following all the regulations of the government with regards to foreign payment.

 

It is pertinent to note that you understand how we intend to make you or your company the legal beneficiary of the funds amounting to US$26.4 Million.

 

We are government officials of my country who are about to commence a confidential transaction involving the transfer of funds that would greatly enhance our desire to carry out viable foreign investments. My colleagues and I are members of a Tender Board Committee of the Federal Ministry of Works and Housing (FMWH) Lagos. Our duties include: Award, Evaluation and Review of Contracts. In 1996, my committee (TBC) awarded contracts of US$150 000 000 (One hundred and fifty million United States Dollars only) to a joint venture of SPEIBATIGNOLES and FOUGEROLLE, for an engineering, procurement, construction of high cost structures at Kaduna, Port Harcourt and the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.

 

As it were, the actual contract sum was deliberately over-invoiced by us in the excess of US$26,400,000 (Twenty-Six Million Four Hundred Thousand United States Dollars Only). The project was executed, commissioned and the contractors paid accordingly. My colleagues and I agreed amongst us and worked out modalities to transfer the over-invoiced sum of US$26. 4 Million to a viable foreign account for our personal use. However, by virtue of our position as Civil Servants, we are prohibited by the Conduct Bureau (Civil Service Laws) from opening or operating foreign accounts. Also as members of this committee we cannot acquire these funds with our names because since foreign companies executed the contracts, it is only a foreign firm that can lay claim to the funds. This was why we decided to look for a foreign partner who can act as the beneficiary of these funds.

 

We have made perfect arrangements at the highest level for this US$26.4 Million to be legally and officially claimed by a foreign company, this is where we require your assistance. We have also resolved that as long as you act as the sole beneficiary of the funds, the following will be the mode of disbursement: 20% for beneficiary i.e. account owner, and 75% for us and 5% will be set aside to upset all incurred bills during the process of this transaction by this i mean power runing calls, phone, and fax. Our assurance is that your role is TOTALLY RISK FREE but our only fear is the confidentiality of this business from your end and we expect you to have complete control of the company as well as the bank account, which you intend to use for this transaction (Area of specialization of the company will not be important).

 

All modalities have been worked out and the necessary machinery put in place with the officials of the Federal Ministry of Finance and the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to effect this payment within the shortest possible time (10-14 days). In order to lay claim to these funds of US$26. 4 Million by your company and front you/your company as the beneficiary of the funds, my committee intends to use a government parastatal or establishment to award a formality contract in favor of your company from the ministry which the contracts were awarded and executed. This is because the release of the funds to your account must be done in such a way that it looks like an actual contract payment to your company. For this purpose we will incorporate your company and register you as a contractor with the Board of Foreign Contractors and also pay tax for your company for at least three years here. We would also by virtue of our official position secure for your company the necessary back up documents that will facilitate the release/transfer of the funds to you as the beneficiary. We would also make an official recommendation to the Federal Ministry of Finance and CBN to approve release of the US$26.4 Million to you as the beneficiary.

 

The information on the attached Letter Head Specimen should be retyped or transcribed into your company letter headed paper duly stamped and signed by you and sent back to us immediately by fax. This we shall use to make the application and recommendation for payment on behalf of your company into your nominated bank account. This information would enable us, initiate preliminary application and payment process at the Federal Ministry of Finance and Central Bank of Nigeria.

 

Once the Federal Ministry of Finance approves the application and recommendation for payment, we would then be sure of the fund release. As from this stage you would have to deal directly with the Federal Ministry of Finance (FMF) to know when the contract payment will be released to you.

 

After the release of the funds to you, we will arrange to meet you immediately in your country or any place of your choice to collect our share of 70%, which we intend to use for investment in your country based on your assistance as well. We would at this juncture, emphasize the fact that this transaction is of UTMOST CONFIDENTIALITY, considering it's nature. I hope you will not betray the confidence reposed in you and you may need to give me sufficient assurance that you are okay with your share of the money and that you will not sit on the money when it is finally released to you, though we have taken steps to avoid this.

 

I will be waiting for you to get to me immediately via fax furnishing me with the document requested above so that we can conclude the first part of this business transaction which is the release of the funds to you based on your assistance and cooperation. We are relying on your honesty and trust while hoping that this will be the beginning of a wonderful and fulfilling business relationship between us.

 

Thanking you for your anticipated cooperation.

 

Best Regards,

PAUL EKPE.

HERES A NEW ONE I JUST GOT TODAY,,

DAMM I MUST BE WORLD FAMOUS???

 

Bulawayo, REPUBLIC OF ZIMBABWE

 

Dear friend,

 

This is a proposal in context but actually an appeal soliciting for your

unreserved involvement in consummating an urgent transaction requiring

maximum confidence.Though this approach appears desperate, I can assure

you that whatever questions you would need to ask or any other thing you

will need to know regarding this proposal will be adequately answered to

give you a clearer understanding of it, so as to arrive at a successful

conclusion.

 

My name is Mr. JOSEPH OKITA, Chief Credit Officer (CCO), Standard

Chartered Bank Bulawayo, ZIMBABWE. On December 6, 1999, a Foreign

consultant/contractor with the ZIMBABWE Electoral Commission, Mr Thierry

COSBAN, made a numbered time (Fixed) Deposit for twelve calendar months,

valued at US$30,000,000.00, (Thirty Million, United States Dollars) in

my branch. Upon maturity, I sent a routine notification to his

forwarding address but got no reply. After a month, I sent a reminder

and finally we discovered from his contract employers, the ZIMBABWE

Electoral Commission , that Mr. Cosban died from an automobile accident

. On further investigation, I found out that he died without making a

WILL, and all attempts to trace his next of kin was fruitless. I

therefore made further investigation and discovered that Mr. Cosban did

not declare any next of kin or relations in all his official documents,

including his Bank Deposit paperwork in our Bank. I have carefully moved

out these funds (US$30million) from our bank as sundry funds to an

offshore Deposit Company in the European Union.

 

From past experiences, I know that no one will ever come forward to

claim the deceased funds. According to ZIMBABWEAN Law, at the expiration

of 5 (five) years, the funds will be Unclaimable and revert to the

ownership of the ZIMBABWEAN Government if nobody applies to claim the

fund. In order to avert this negative development, I in conjunction with

the Chief Operating Officer in the bank now seek your permission to

allow a WILL to be made up with you as the beneficiary of Mr.

Cosban’ deposit. The (US$30million) would be released to you as

the new owner (on behalf of me and the C.O.O.). Consequently, I will

present you as the owner of the funds to the Security Deposit Company so

you can be able to claim them after the will must have been accepted to

probate with the help of an attorney. The money will then be released to

your custody by the Security company ,for us to share at a working and

agreeable ratio. If you are interested, please reply immediately via my

email address. Upon your response, I shall then provide you with more

details for further explanation that will help you understand the

transaction.

 

No doubt this proposal will make you apprehensive, please we implore you

to observe utmost confidentiality and positive disposition to enable us

conclude this transaction in a timely and professional manner. Awaiting

your urgent reply via my email.

 

Yours sincerely,.

 

Mr. JOSEPH OKITA.

Chief Credit Officer (CCO)

--BEGIN TRANSCRIPT

 

PM: Prime Minister's office. Prime Minister Speaking.

 

US:Greetings... This is the Secretary of War at the State Department of the United States...

We have a problem. The companies want something done about this sluggish world economic

situation... profits have been running a little thin lately and we need to stimulate some

growth. Now we know there's an alarmingly high number of young people roaming around in

your country with nothing to do but stir up trouble for the police and damage private

property. It doesn't look like they'll ever get a job. It's about time we did something

constructive with these people. We've got thousands of 'em here too. They'er crawling all

over... the companies think it's time we all sit down, have a serious get-together, and

start another war. The President? He loves the idea! All of those missiles streaming to

and fro.. Napalm... people running down the road, skin on fire.. The Soviets seem up for

it.. The Kremlin's been itching for the real thing for years. How about a little going

away present for Mr. Breshnad. Hell, Afghanistan's no fun... So whadya say? We dont even

have to win this war. We just want to cut down on some of this excess population.

 

Now look, just start up a draft: Draft as many people as you can. We'll call up every last

youngster we can get our hands on, hand 'em some speed, give 'em an hour or two to learn

how to use an automatic rifle and send 'em on there way.. Libya? El Salvador? How 'bout

Northern Ireland? Or a "moderately repressive regime" in South America. We'll just cook up

a good Soviet threat story in the Middle East - we need that oil. We had Lybia all ready to

go and Colonel Khadafy's hit squad didn't even show up. I tell ya.. that man is unreliable.

The Kremlin had there fingers on the button just like we did for that one.

 

Now just think for a minute - we can make this war so big... SO big.. the more people we

kill in this war, the more the economy will prosper. We can get rid of practially everybody

on your dole queues if we plan this right. Take every loafer on welfare right off our

computer rolls.. Now don't worry about those demonstrators - just pump up your drug supply.

So many people have hooked themselves on heroin and amphetamines since we took over, it's

just like Vietnam. We had everybody so busy with LSD they never got to strong. It's easy.

 

We've got our college kids so interested in beer they don't even care if we start manufactoring

germ bombs again. Put a nuclear stockpile in there back yard, they wouldnt even know what it

looked like... So how about it?.... I mean...

 

Look... war is money. The arms manufacturers tell me unless we get our bomb factories up to

full production the whole economy is going to collapse... The Soviets are in the same boat.

We all agree the time as come for the big one.

 

So whadya say?!?!

 

PS:Marvelous.

 

US:That's excellent. We knew you'd agree. The companies will be very pleased.
