Dear Friend,
I, on behalf of my colleagues from
different Federal Government of Nigeria
owned parastatals, decided to solicit
your assistance as regards transfer
of US$41,500,000.00 into your bank
account.
These funds emanated from
unclaimed contractual proceeds of
foreign contracting firms who could not
meet their financial obligations to their
creditors.
We, as holders of sensitive positions
in our various parastatals, were
mandated by the Federal Government
to scrutinise all payments made to
certain foreign contractors and we
discovered that some of the contractors
have not been paid their contractual
entitlement which collectively left the
sum of US$46,500,000.00 lying in a
suspended account.
However, from our investigations, we
discovered that the foreign beneficiary
companies have since been liquidated,
and to all intents and purposes no
longer exist in Nigeria, thus providing
us with this opportunity, provided that
we have a capable partner, to execute a
transaction of this nature.
We agreed that the said amount would
be transferred into an overseas bank
account to be provided by a reliable
foreign associate. This is because as
serving government workers the Civil
Service Code does not allow us to
operate a foreign Account. We require
a partner that is capable of rendering
assistance and cooperation in executing
this matter. We therefore offer the
amount of 20% of the entire sum in
return for services/assistance rendered
in successfully carrying out this project.
We trust that you appreciate the sensitive
nature of this matter and the need for
initial caution on our part.
Please treat with the strictest
confidentiality and expediency.
Yours faithfully,
Dr.Sam Obi

Feel like bitching about the weather or the prices, need reassurance but your friends won´t talk to you,
want to open your heart but even the drunks at your local bar won´t listen, just can´t stop raving about

letters column (especially for the latter). Please send your mail to grapevine@strik.is, or just stick it in
