Mr. Mac Okoh
External Debt Management Office
Federal Ministry of Finance
FCT, Abuja, Nigeria.
Dear Friend,
SOLICITATION FOR PARTNERSHIP
I know this proposal will surprise you, but I want to appeal to you that it is a serious matter that requires your careful attention and urgent response.
I am a senior official of the External Debt Management Office under the Federal Ministry of Finance of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Our principal responsibility is the settlement of the huge foreign debt our government and some of its agencies are owing some foreign contractors varying sums of money for some contracts executed between 1993 and 1999.
Some of our creditors had tried in vain when the military was still in power in Nigeria, to get their money paid. Out of this frustration, some of them wrote off the debt as bad debt. However, with the coming of a democratic government, the country is desirous of laundering its battered image, hence the present government empowered our office to compile a list of all bona fide creditors, for immediate settlement of their entitlements.
My colleagues and I did compile the list and computed the total figure, but had to inflate it by (Eleven Million, Five Hundred thousand United States Dollar ($11.5 Million). The reason for this is to enable us get our own person, who must also be a foreigner, to come forward with an application for claim for the sum. That is why I am writing you, to solicit your partnership, in this regard.
We shall register you as a contractor and put the money as your outstanding entitlement, to enable us facilitate the release of the money in your favour.
If you are interested in working on this with us, all you need to do is to let me have your :
1.Full Names 2. Company Name (if any) 3. Full address 4. Telephone and Fax numbers 5. Name and address of your bank and the account you would wish the money remitted into.
The account can be a fresh one or an already existing one. It does not matter if there is no deposit in it.
With all these information, we shall be able to consummate the process and achieve our goal within two to three weeks. Once we are successful and you have confirmed that the money is in your account, we shall agree with you on how to meet with you to sort out everything. We shall give you 20% of the money, for your efforts, and earmark 5% for the settlement of the cost that both parties may have incurred in the process leading to the release of the money, while we take 75%.
I look forward to hearing from you soonest.
Warm regards,
Mac Okoh.
