Dear Sir/Madam,
My name is Mac Okpara, a member of the committee set
up by the Federal Government of Nigeria to supervise the
activities of the Petroleum Trust Fund (PTF), the agency
that manages proceeds from the sale of crude oil in my
country. At the inception of the new democratic
government in my country, the Petroleum Trust Fund was
ordered to wind up its operation to enable the new
committee take over.
The former Chairman of the agency in the person of
Major General Muhammed Buhari (Rtd.) was also retired.
In its place a new committee in which I am a member was
appointed to take over and oversee the activities
of the agency. The duty of the committee amongst
others includes verifying all outstanding contract
claims and debts with the sole objective of
settling such long overdue claims.
I therefore decided to contact you directly having
gotten your name and company's information from a
business handbook of your country I discovered in the
former chairman's official study, which he left
behind in his office. Going through some of the files
left behind by the former chairman, we discovered that
he has secured out of the Central Bank of Nigeria a
forex release to the tune of US$25,500,000.00 for
the payment of goods and services supplied by foreign
contractors for the execution of KUBUWA WATER PROJECT in
the oil rich Niger Delta. He was trying to transfer the
funds to a ghost company abroad when he was removed from
office. In confidence, we know that the goods and
services were not supplied but used his office to
approve the payment in favour of a foreign firm with no
fixed address.
He confided in me as a member of the new committee
that he used his position to over invoice the contract.
After his removal from office, this over invoiced amount
is floating in the system and left unclaimed. He
has therefore requested me to help look for a foreign
company into whose account the funds will be
transferred.
I am now soliciting for your cooperation to enable us
process the transfer of the funds to your account. You
should provide us your company's name or any other name
as long as you will be able to receive the amount. It
will be treated as one of the outstanding payments due
to you on executed contract. We will take measure to
duly register your company here in Nigeria to give it
legitimacy.
We need your company's name and account particulars to
enable us file application for foreign exchange
allocation order at the Federal Ministry of Finance. The
moment we accomplish this, we will raise Contract
Award Certificate in your company's name to show that
a contract was actually awarded and executed by you. The
nature of your business does not matter.
For your participation and investing in this project,
we are prepared to concede 25% of the total sum to you.
On completion of the project, we will commit a
substantial percentage of our share into investments in
your country and we will direct you on how to
repatriate the balance of our share.
I wish to state here again that confidentiality should
be our watchword. If the above proposal meets your
approval, please respond immediately. Endeavour to
furnish me with your secured private telephone and
fax line for easy reach through my email address:
address@hidden
Regards,
Mac Okpara
