  • subject  DEAR FRIEND

GOOD DAY

REQUEST FOR URGENT CONFIDENTIAL BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP IN RESPECT OF THE TRANSFER OF US$40,000.000,00 (FORTY MILLION  U.S DOLLARS ONLY).

I fervently pray that this letter soliciting for your kind assistance will not cause any embarrassment to you. I am aware that we have never  seen each other before, neither have we exchanged any form of formal contact or correspondence before. I am also, aware that this world is full of dishonest people but I sincerely hope that my humble letter will touch your kind heart to assist us and give us the opportunity of being future inseparable.

I, on behalf of my other colleague in the office (NNPC) have decided to solicit your assistance as regards to the transfer of the above stated amount into your bank account. This fund arose from the over-invoicing of various contracts awarded in my parastatal to certain foreign contractors sometime ago.We as holders of official position in our various parastatals, were mandated by this new civilian government to scrutinize all payments made to certain foreign contractors, and we discovered that some of these contracts  executed were grossly over-invoiced, either by omission or commission.

Also, we discovered that the sum of $40.000.000,00.(Forty million  US Dollars) was lying in a suspense account, although the foreign contractors were fully paid their contract entitlements after executing  the said contracts.

My father was a highly reputable business man (a coacoa merchant)he operated in the capital city of Ivory coast during his days.My fathers died mysteriously in France during one of his business trips abroad on 12th.Febuary 2005.Though his sudden death was linked or rather suspected to have been masterminded by an uncle of his who travelled with him at that time.
But Allah knows the truth! My mother died when I was just 4 years old on child birth according to what my father told me,The time for her delivery was complete and the doctor did not know because according to my father the doctor told them that my mother was not going through labour because according to his own prediction my mother had about one month more to deliver. So before they rialise she was on labour, it has taken about two days and she became very weak and could not make it during child delivery.Since then my father took me so special. Before his death on February 12/ 2005 which came to me as a suprise

I have stoped schooling because i cant afford to pay for school fees anymore. But i have gone to my fahers lawyer to find  that my father have  money to the tune of eight million, seven hundred thousand United State Dollars.(USD$8.700,000) left in a Trust company which according to he lawyer he propossed using for a foreign business transaction.
