REQUEST FOR ASSISTANCE- STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL
I am MR ABU BAKARA, Chief accountant Officer Federal Ministry of petroleum
Resources (MPR) and a member of a three-man Tender Board in charge of contract
review and payment approvals. I came to know of you in my search for a
reliable person to handle a very confidential transaction that involves the
transfer of a huge sum of money to a foreign account. It may sound strange but
exercise patience and read on. There were series of contracts executed by a
consortium Multinational in the Oil industry in favour of Ministry of
Petroleum Resources among which were:
1.The extension of pipeline network within Nigeria for crude oil, Down stream
products distribution and subsequent evacuation- US$ 195 Million.
2. Contract for the Turn Around Maintenance (TAM) of the various refineries in
the country~ US$ 152Million.
3. The construction of storage tanks for petroleum products (Depots) US$240
Million. The original values of this contract were deliberately over invoiced
to the sum of US $18.5million American Dollars which has now been approved and
is now ready to be transferred being that the companies that actually executed
these contracts has been fully paid and project officially commissioned.
consequently, my colleagues and I are willing to transfer the total amount to
your account for subsequent disbursement since we are Civil Servant and are
prohibited by the Code of Conduct Bureau (Civil Servant Laws) from
opening/operating foreign account in our names. Needless to say, the trust
posed on you at this juncture is enormous.
In return, we have agreed to offer you 30% of the transferred sum while 10%
shall be set aside for accidental expenses (Internal & External) between the
parties in the course of the transfer. We will mandate you to draw up an
investment plan for us of which you will control since we cannot bring our
shares back to Nigeria. We are very interested in investing in real estate in
your country. You must however note that this transaction is subjected to the
following terms and conditions:
1. Our conviction of your transparent honesty and diligence.
2. That you will treat this transaction with utmost secrecy and
confidentiality because of the circumstances we now find ourselves.
3. That the funds would be transferred to an account over which you have
absolute control. Modalities have been worked out at the highest level of the
presidency at the Central Bank of Nigeria for the immediate transfer of the
funds within 14 working days, subject to your satisfaction of the above stated
terms.
Our assurance is that your role is 100% risk free. To accord this transaction,
the legality it deserves and for mutual security of the parties involved and
the funds, the whole approval procedures will be officially and legally
processed with your name or the name of your company you may nominate as the
Bonafide beneficiary.
Also, be informed that our main reason of contacting you is for the obvious
reason that we will want to invest these funds in the real estate. It is our
believe that you can be of immense help in this regards. Kindly expedite
action so as to enable us include this transaction into this batch as payment
to foreign contractors is usually carried out on quarterly basis.
Please, contact me as soon as possible. Respond through my private email
abubakara43@gmail.com for further directives.

MR ABU BAKARA
