SIR,

BUSINESS PROPOSAL
It is my great pleasure in writing you this letter on
behalf of myself and my colleagues. Your particulars
were given to me by a member of the Nigerian Export
Promotion Council (NEPC) who was at the Federal
Government Delegation to your country during a trade
exhibition. I have decided to seek a
confidentialcooperation with you in the execution of
the deal described hereunder for the benefit of all
parties and hope you will keep it as top secret
because of the nature of this business. Within the
Ministry of Petroleum Resources where I work as a
Director, Project Implementation and with the
cooperation of four other top officials we have in our
possession as overdue payment bills totalling Fourteen
Million, Five Hundred Thousand U. S. Dollars
(US$14,500,000.00) which we want to transfer abroad
with assistance and cooperation of a foreign
company/individual toreceive the said fund on our
behalf or a reliable foreign non-company account to
receive such funds. Moreso, we are handicapped in the
circumstances as the Nigerian Civil Service Code of
Conduct does not allow us to operate offshore account
hence your importance in the whole transaction. The
amount represents the balance of the total contract
value executed on behalf of my Ministry by a foreign
contracting firm which we the officials over-invoiced
deliberately. Though the actual contract cost have
been paid to the original contractor, leaving the
balance in the tune of the said amount which we have
in principles gotten approval to remit byTelegraphic
Transfer (T.T) to foreign bank account you will
provide by filing in an application through the
Federal Ministry of Justice for the transfer of rights
and privileges of the formercontractor to you. Since
the new civilian government of my country is
determined to pay every foreign contractor all debts
owed so as to maintain good relationship with foreign
government and non-government financial agencies,
thereforewe have decided to include our bills for
approvals with the cooperation of some officials from
the FederalMinistry of Finance and the Central Bank
ofNigeria (CBN)
We are seeking your assistance in providing a vital
account or any virgin bank account into which we can
remit this money by acting as our main partner and
trustee. This we can do by swapping of account and
changing of beneficiary and other forms of
documentation upon application for claim to reflect
the payment and approvals to be secured on behalf of
you. This processes being pre-arranged with the
principal trustee of the original contractor and with
the consent of the original contractor. I have the
authority of my partners involved to propose that
should you be willing to assist us in the transaction
your share of the sum will be 30% of the US$14.5
million, 60% for us and 10% for taxation and
miscellaneous expenses. The business itself is 100%
safe, on your part provided you treat it with utmost
secrecy and confidentiality.
Also your area of specialization is not a hindrance to
the successful execution of this transaction.
I have reposed my confidence in you and hope that you
will not disappoint me. Endeavor to e-mail
ON;btaju@hotmail.com me toknow
your position and include your confidential
telephoneand fax numbers.
Thanks for your cooperation.

Yours faithfully,

DR. BTAJU MUSA
