Urgent Request for an Import/Export Partnerhip.

Let me commence by first expressing my most sincere apology for infringing on your privacy 
as I am an uninvited/unsolicited guest to your address. i apaologies for that, please hear 
me out 
before you decide on shutting me out.
 
We are interested in the purchase and importation of certain goods into our country, with 
funds, which are presently trapped in this same country, Nigeria. In order to commence this 
business 
and achieve our goal, we need your assistance in the release of the said trapped funds 
and ultimately, your receipt and custody of these funds abroad. But before I proceed any 
further, I 
crave your indulgence and confidence in this communication and transaction in the long 
run, this is necessitated by virtue of this proposal as being utterly confidential and classified. 

We are top officials of a major Government parastatal (name withheld) here in Nigeria, and 
due to our very membership of this parastatal, we are privy to the information I am about to 
vaguely 
reveal to you in trust and confidence as obtained in the urgent business relationship we 
solicit for. We crave your indulgence for total 
Confidentiality.


Explicitly, the source of this fund is as follows:
During the regime of our late head of state, Gen. Sani Abacha, the then Military officials set 
up private companies and lobbied the award of contracts to their companies, these 
contract were 
grossly over-invoiced in various ministries all in the bid for self-enrichment by these military 
men. Fortunately, after the mysterious death of the head of state followed by the collapse of 
the 
military dictatorship, the current civilian Government set up a body to look into the activities 
of the past military regime. We hold exalted designations/positions this recently set up panel 
and we 
have successfully identified several inflated contract funds, which are presently floating in 
coded terms and accounts at the Central Bank of Nigeria.

We desire to release and use for the purpose stated above a particular contract entitlement 
from the very several, but due to our position as civil servants and members of this body, 
we 
cannot acquire this fund in our names and without a much needed foreign assistance. My 
colleagues have therefore delegated me as a matter of trust to source for an overseas 
partner into 
whose account the sum of US$31,000,000.00 (Thirty-one Million United States Dollars), 
being the contract entitlement of this particular contract will be transferred into, hence this 
written 
request.

Upon the success of this transaction, which is after the receipt of the fund into your 
account and the use of the funds for the purchase of the desired goods, we propose a 
sharing ratio as 
thus:

1.  70% for us (the officials)
2.  20% for the foreign partner (you) 
3.  4% 	for the reconciliation of all expenses, including taxation and all foreign costs   
incurred by you during the course of the transaction. 
4.  6%	for the reconciliation of all local expenses incurred by all parties involved on the 
home front during the course of this transaction.

Your complete dedication and commitment to the course will be required. Basically, what 
we are doing is to use you as a front to get these monies transferred out of this country.  
Your 
complete dedication and commitment to the course will be required and also the need for 
you to personally go, as the beneficiary, to any of the Nigerian Government's Foreign 
Payment offices 
in Europe to claim the contract entitilments .  However, we shall equally require your 
assistance in advising us on good investment opportunities in your country as we intend to 
invest a 
substantial part of our share of the funds in your country. We are poor civil servants 
(Government workers) who are presented with a lifetime opportunity to secure our future 
and those of our 
immediate families in particular and the suffering masses in general.

Please note that this transaction is 100% safe and hitch free, devoid of any form of 
uncertainty in its entire ramification. We hope that the funds can arrive your account within 
ten (10) banking 
days from the date of our receipt of some relevant details that I shall intimate you with in my 
next correspondence. The required details will enable us write letters of claim and job 
description 
respectively. This way, we will use your already existing company name or initiate one for 
you (or as applicable) to prepare the necessary and solid documentary foundation 
necessary to re-
award the contract in your company name and prepare an application for fund 
release/payments with you as the beneficiary.

Please acknowledge receipt of this letter using either telephone/fax number already 
provided above or respond via e-mail, so I can bring you into the complete picture of this 
pending project 
as soon as possible. We are looking forward to doing business with you and solicit your 
confidentiality in this transaction.

Yours Faithfully,
David Bonoh.
