Dear Sir,

First, I must solicit your strictest confidence in
this transaction, this is by virtue of it's nature
as being utterly confidential and top secret as
you were introduced to us in confidence through the
Nigerian Chamber of Commerce, foreign trade division.
We are top officials from the Federal Ministry of
Works and Housing,(FMWH),Federal Ministry of Finance
and the Presidency, making up the Contract Review
Panel
(CRP) set up by the Federal Government of Nigeria to
review contracts awarded by the past military
administration.

In the course of our work on the CRP, we discovered
this fund which resulted from grossly over-invoiced
contracts which were executed for the FMW&H during the
last administration.
he companies that executed the contracts have been
duly paid and the contracts commissioned leaving the
sum of US$24.4 Million floating in the escrow account
of the Central Bank of Nigeria ready for payment.
I have therefore been mandated as a matter of trust
by my colleagues in the panel to look for an overseas
partner to whom we could transfer the sum of US$24.4M
legally subcontracting the entitlement to your
company.

This is bearing in mind that our civil service code
of conduct forbids us from owning foreign company or
running foreign account while in government service
hence
the need for an overseas partner.
We have agreed that the funds will be shared thus
after
it has been paid into your account:
(1) 30% of the money will go to you for acting as the
beneficiary of the fund.
(2) 10% has been set aside as an abstract projection
for reimbursment to both parties for incidental
expences
that may be incurred in the course of the transaction.
(3) 60% to us the government officials (with which we
wish to commence an importation business in
conjunction
with you ).
All logistics are in place and all modalities worked
out for the smooth conclusion of the transaction
within
ten to fourteen days of commencement after receipt of
the following information:

-Your company name ; address ; company's details &
activities
- telephone & fax numbers.
These information will enable us make the applications
and lodge claims to the concerned ministries &
agencies
in favour of your company and it is pertinent to state
here that this transaction is entirely based on trust
as the solar bank draft or certified cheque drawable
in any of the Central Bank of Nigeria correspondent
bankers around the world is going to be written in
your
name.

Please acknowledge the receipt of this letter and your
interest as regards assisting us by sending me an
e-mail to ministrychairman@alexandria.cc

Yours faithfully,

Director

NB:
Bank Account Details not
necessary as preferred
mode of payment is by
draft or cheque .
