We want to solicit for your kind assistance to transfer about $15.2 million US Dollar as part of the money into your private Account for our personal use.
All security measures for a successful transfer of this money have been perfect ed from our side through our associates in the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).
The only thing we require from you is your private account No. Address, Telephone and Fax No. And E-mail Address of your Bank and Company.
We will compensate you with 25% of the total money upon the successful transfer of the money.

Dear Sir,
Personal Introduction.
Through the courtesy of business opportunity and after
a discreet but thorough inquiry at the Foreign Office
of the trade department, I write you this letter of
request for partnership which I hope you will give
your urgent attention. First and foremost I would like
to state at this point that this is by no means a
scheme of any sort and neither is it an attempt of any
kind to play on the intelligence of your good self,
upon contact, further proof of the authenticity of
this transaction would be provided and you have my
assurance that your decision to proceed will not
contravene the ethics of your better judgment.
We are a team of venture capitalists /project finance
consultants who, a couple of years ago, came together
to form a "Tenders Committee" established for the
provision of financial/banking services to third world
nations whom at the time where under economic
sanctions by several nations. The Tenders committee
was established to be an autonomous body empowered by
these countries to manage their foreign resources or
to provide finances for areas of need in these nations
like infrastructure such as bad roads, drug shortages
in the hospitals, education and portable water etc. We
were also responsible for awarding contracts and
sourcing contractual executors to meet these needs, in
turn the countries involved would receive invoices
from us for these amounts and make payments after they
have been approved.
On the 9th of February 2003 we facilitated several
contracts amounting to approximately US$600 Million to
the consortium of several foreign companies like ABB
Lummus, J.G.C. Corporation of Japan, Bouygues Offshore
and a Joint Venture of Spiebatignoles and Fouguerolle,
for an Engineering procurement. However, my colleagues
and I in the "Tenders Committee" decided to
over-inflate the contract sum to the tune of US$621.5m
with intention of sharing the $21.5 Million Amongst
us.
The Governments in question have approved the total of
$621.5M and are prepared to mobilize these funds to
the designated companies. Since these companies will
be receiving their entire contractual obligations, we
intend to allocate the remaining amount of 21.5M to a
trustworthy individual's company account for
disbursement to us at a later date. My colleagues and
I have agreed that should you agree to these
conditions we are willing to look into transferring
the over invoiced $21.5M to your company and a
negotiable percentage will be retained by you while
the remainder will be sent back to us when this has
been completed. Should you however decline this offer
we apologize for wasting your time and would seize
contact henceforth, however should you be interested
please send an email to: daniel_odita@maktoob.com
stating your interest so we may commence with the
necessary processes/documentation that would effect
the conclusion of this mutually beneficial offer. We
hope this is an opportunity that would merit your
immediate consideration.
Regards,
Daniel Odita
