REQUEST FOR URGENT BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP

[BODE THOMAS]

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.
