Business Proposal

My Dear,

I am Dr. Joseph Onaje, the Chief Accountant of the Nigerian Football
Association, Parent body of the Nigeria ’99 Local Organizing Committee, an
affiliate of International Football Association (FIFA). In the course of our
preparation to host the world youth soccer championship tagged (NIG,
99)early last two years, huge sum of money running into millions of United
States Dollars was budgeted by the then military Government for the
successful organization of this competition. In the same vein, FIFA made
millions of dollars available for the same project.

However, in my capacity as the Chief Accountant, to both local organizing
committee (LOC), and the Nigeria Football Association (NFA), I and some of
my colleagues in sensitive positions were able to influence the award of a
contract for the reconstruction and refurbishing of the eight (8) stadia
used for the competition. The contractor who handled these projects agreed
to give my colleagues and I 10% of the total contract sum, if we were able
to influence the award of the contract to their favor. So many foreign firms
bided for this same contract, but because we knew whom we wanted the
contract to be awarded to, we made sure that the contract we had this
understanding won the contract. They have been paid 90% of their total
contract sum remaining the balance of 10% which we never wanted them to
collect on our behalf because of the fear that they might not give us the
balance of 10%. It is pertinent to note that, the remaining balance of a
total sum of twelve million eight hundred thousand united states dollars
(US$12,800,000.00) is laying in the suspense account of the Nigerian Deposit
Bank (NDB), ready for transfer into an oversea account.

I have been unanimously mandated to seek for an honest and trustworthy
foreign partner who will assist in ensuring the successful transfer of the
above sum of money into his Personal/Company account since the Nigerian Code
of Conduct Bureau does not permit us to operate a foreign account as public
servants. On the successful remittance of the fund (US$12,800,000.00) into
your nominated account, for your kind assistance you will be adequately
compensated.

Be rest assured that, the modalities and logistics towards the successful
transfer of this fund has been worked out. All we require from you is your
cooperation. This transaction is 100% risk free. We kindly request that you
accord to it the highest level of secrecy it deserves. Your swift response
will be highly appreciated. Reach me through my official email address
acct1@africamail.com and kindly provide your phone and fax number for more
informative discussions. Upon your acknowledgement of this proposal, I will
forward to you the detailed procedure for the transaction.

Note that, this transaction is legal and free from all sorts of risk and
trouble. It does not contravene the laws of my country nor any International
laws; hence the whole approval for the transfer will be official and legally
processed. This transaction will be concluded within five (5) working days
if we follow it up and give the serious attention it deserves.

Awaiting your prompt response.

Best regards,
Dr.Joseph Onaje
