REQUEST FOR URGENT BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP

[Mr Bode Thomas]

REQUEST FOR URGENT BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP 
DEAR SIR,  
ALTHOUGH THIS PROPOSAL MIGHT COME TO YOU AS A SURPRISE
SINCE IT IS COMING 
FROM SOMEONE YOU DO NOT KNOW OR EVER SEEN BEFORE, BUT
AFTER DUE DELIBERATION 
WITH MY COLLEAGUES, I DECIDED TO FORWARD THIS BUSINESS
PROPOSAL TO YOU.   
  
WE WANT A RELIABLE PERSON WHO COULD ASSIST US TO
TRANSFER THE SUM OF TWENTY
ONE MILLION, FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED STATES
DOLLARS (US$21.5 MILLION) 
INTO HIS/HER ACCOUNT. THIS FUND RESULTED FROM AN OVER
INVOICED BILL FROM A 
CONTRACT AWARDED BY US FOR THE TURN AROUND MAINTENANCE
(T.A.M) CARRIED OUT 
ON THE THREE INTERNATIONAL AIRPORTS HERE IN NIGERIA
DURING THE LAST MILITARY 
REGIME OF LATE GENERAL SANI ABACHA.   
  
WE AWARDED THIS CONTRACT UNDER THE BUDGET ALLOCATION
TO MY PARASTATAL, THE 
BILL WAS APPROVED FOR PAYMENT AND THE CONTRACT HAS
BEEN EXECUTED AND THE 
ORIGINAL CONTRACTOR WAS PAID HIS ACTUAL COST OF THE
CONTRACT. WE ARE LEFT 
WITH THE BALANCE OF US$21.5 MILLION DOLLARS AS THE
OVER INVOICED AMOUNT, 
WHICH WE HAVE DELIBERATELY OVER-ESTIMATED FOR OUR OWN
USE, BUT UNDER OUR 
PROTOCOL DIVISION, CIVIL SERVANTS ARE FORBIDDEN TO
OPERATE OR OWN FOREIGN 
ACCOUNT. THIS IS WHY I AM CONTACTING YOU FOR
ASSISTANCE. WE HAVE AGREED TO 
SHARE THE MONEY AS FOLLOWS.   
  
(i)    10% FOR YOU THE ACCOUNT OWNER 
(ii)   80% FOR US (THE OFFICIALS)   
(iii)   10% TO BE USED IN SETTLING TAXATION  AND ALL
LOCAL/FOREIGN EXPENSES. 

  
I AM THE SENIOR ACCOUNTANT OF THE PROJECT AND
MAINTENANCE DEPARTMENT OF 
FEDERAL AIRPORT AUTHORITY OF NIGERIA (FAAN). THIS
TRANSACTION IS VERY MUCH 
FREE FROM ALL SORT OF RISK BECAUSE THIS BUSINESS WAS
CAREFULLY PLANNED 
BEFORE IT WAS SUCCESSFULLY EXECUTED AND WE THE
OFFICIALS INVOLVED IN THIS 
DEAL HAVE PUT IN MANY YEARS OF MERITORIOUS SERVICE TO
OUR PARSASTATAL.   
  
WE HAVE BEEN EXERCISING PATIENCE FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY
FOR SO LONG AND FOR 
MOST OF US THIS IS A LIFETIME OPPORTUNITY WE CANNOT
AFFORD TO MISS. TO GET 
THIS FUND INTO YOUR ACCOUNT, WE HAVE TO PRESENT AN
INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS 
OUTFIT AND CONSEQUENT UPON INDICATION OF YOUR INTEREST
TO FULLY ASSIST US IN 
THIS TRANSACTION, YOU ARE ADVISED TO FURNISH US WITH
THE FOLLOWING: 
  
(i)    THE BANK IN WHICH YOU WOULD WANT  THE US$21.5
MILLION TO BE PAID 
INTO. 
(iii)    BENEFICIARY OF THE ACCOUNT. 
(iii)   YOUR PRIVATE TELEPHONE AND FAX NUMBERS FOR
EASY COMMUNICATION. 
  
THIS INFORMATION WILL ENABLE US SEEK APPROVAL OF THE
FUND FROM THE CONCERNED 
QUARTERS WITHIN 5-7 BANKING DAYS AND THE DEPARTMENT OF
FAAN  PAYMENT 
INFORMATION DATA WILL BE FAXED IMMEDIATELY TO YOU FOR
COMPLETION.   
  
ONE OF MY COLLEAGUES AND I INVOLVED IN THIS DEAL WILL
COME TO YOUR COUNTRY 
TO ARRANGE FOR OUR SHARE UPON CONFIRMATION FROM YOU
THAT THE MONEY HAS HIT 
YOUR NOMINATED BANK ACCOUNT. ALL THESE WILL ONLY TAKE
US ABOUT 14 WORKING 
DAYS TO TRANSFER THIS FUND INTO YOUR  ACCOUNT FROM THE
DAY WE RECEIVE THE 
REQUIREMENTS.   
  
YOUR LINE OF BUSINESS IN THIS TRANSACTION DOES NOT
MATTER. HONESTY AND YOUR 
ABILITY TO KEEP IT SECRET AND KEEP OUR OWN SHARE SAFE
WHEN THE MONEY HITS 
YOUR ACCOUNT IS WHAT MATTERS. IT IS IMPORTANT THAT WE
PERFECTLY UNDERSTAND 
AND CO-OPERATE WITH ONE ANOTHER TO ENSURE THAT THIS
BUSINESS IS SUCCESSFULLY 
CONCLUDED. 
  
I WILL BRING YOU INTO THE COMPLETE PICTURE OF THIS
PENDING TRANSACTION WHEN 
I HAVE HEARD FROM YOU. YOUR PROMPT REPLY WILL BE
HIGHLY APPRECIATED.   
  
BEST REGARDS   
  
MR. BODE THOMAS.

PROJECT AND MAINTENANCE DEPARTMENT (FAAN).
