Good day and how are you doing today. It is with strict confidence and trust that I write you this letter seeking for your assistance to help asregards an urgent business proposal. I am hoping that you will consider my request and give me positive response quickly as time is of great importance right now.

However, I am making this contact to you based on trust and confidence irrespective of the fact that you are a stranger to me, though I know that a transaction of this magnitude will make any one apprehensive and worried, considering the fact that we have not met each other before, but I am assuring you that all will be well at the end of the day.  I want to remain positive having the faith and the will and convincing myself that you will be capable to handle this for us.

First let me introduce myself properly to you. I am Ahmend Juba an Accountant by profession and presently the Director of  Currency Operations in the Nigerian Security Printing and Minting Company (NSPMC) and also the Head of Committee Foreign Exchange and Payment Department  Central Bank of Nigeria. My colleagues and I are presently looking for a very reliable and God- fearing person to handle a highly confidential business transaction for us, which involves the transfer of a huge sum of money abroad.

My colleagues and I are top Officials of the Foreign Exchange and Payment Department of the Central Bank of Nigeria. Our duties include Allocation of Foreign  exchange to government and private owned establishment companies and also business individuals. In  order for us to commence this business we solicit for your assistance to enable you receive the total sum of Sixteen Million United states US$16,000,000.00) dollars on our behalf.

However let me first explain to you properly how this money came about.During the last auditing and reconciliation of running accounts for the  Foreign Exchange and  Payment Department of the Central Bank of Nigeria for end of quarter payment, I discovered an excess sum of foreign exchange to the tune of US$16 million dollars in the Foreign exchange and  payment committee account, which accrued from errors and left over from miscellaneous payments.I immediately called the attention of the chief accountant and the secretary to the chief accountant and  at the end of the day we all agreed to secure and share this money amongst  ourselves putting into consideration our present poor financial state of living.

The government is not aware of these funds, we are only three members in this business. Myself, the Chief Accountant of the CBN and the Secretary to the Chief Account.

The money is presently lying fallow in the Foreign Exchange and Payment committee account, but by virtue of our positions ascivil servants and members of this panel, we cannot secure the money ourselves, as we are prohibited by the Code of Conduct Bureau (Civil Service Laws) from opening and/or operating foreign accounts in our names while still in Government service, making it impossible for us to acquire the money in our names.

Consequently, I have therefore been delegated as a matter of trust and urgency by my colleagues in the panel to look for a trustworthy overseas partner who can receive this money on our behalf. Hence I am writing you this letter.

My Colleagues and I have agreed that if you can act as the beneficiary of these funds on our behalf, you will retain 20% of the total amount of US$16 million, while 70% will be for us (OFFICIALS) and the remaining 10% will be used in offsetting all Taxes incurred both local and foreign in the cause of this transfer. Needless to say, the trust reposed on you at this junctureis enormous. In return we demand your complete honesty and trust. You  must however NOTE therefore,that this transaction will bestrictly based on the following terms and conditions as we have stated below;

We arelooking forward to doing business with you and solicit your Total Confidentiality in this transaction. There is no cause for alarm. I give you my word that you are completely safe in doing business with us.

All we require from you is your full names and address, private telephone and fax numbers. Immediately we receive this from you, we shall proceed to prepare a business agreement that both parties will sign as an oat of Trust.

Once this is done, we shall proceed to finalize all official protocols and requirements towards the prompt release of the funds to you by bank wire transfer, which is also known as telegraphic transfer, this way we shall apply for payment to you as a contract payment for a job already done by you or your company over here. We shall prepare all the necessary paper work to show that you did the contract, these shall include the contract award and completion certificates, after which payment will be granted and remittance effected to your nominated bank account on behalf of us all.

This process shall take about 7 bank working days.These are some of our mapped out plans, I will give you a complete details when I hear from you. Please be rest assured that all will be well at the end of the day. There is really nothing to worry about.

Here in my country there is great economic and political disarray and thus looting and corruption is rampant and the order of the day amongst high ranking government officials, thus explaining why you might have heard stories of how money is been looted out of Nigeria most especially by our past Presidents, they are doing it for their own selfish interest while we are doing it because we have to secure a good future for ourselves and our families since we are not been paid well, so that when we retire from active service we do not languish in poverty. Presently we are grossly underpaid as compared to our counterparts in the western world.

My country is blessed with so many natural resources but the revenue from these are beingembezzled on a daily basis by those in the corridors of power without a  thought for others. I will explain more to you when I have heard from you. You can also read more  of our corrupt and greedyleaders from this web address;
