ASSISTANCE REQUIRED FOR ACQUISITION
OF ESTATES.
ATTENTION:
I write to inform you of my desire to acquire estates or
landed properties in your country on behalf of the Director
of Contracts and Finance Allocation of the Federal Ministry
of works and Housing in Nigeria. Considering his very strategic
and influential position, he would want the transaction
to be strictly as confidential as possible. He further want
his identity to remain undisclosed at least for now, until
the completion of the transaction. Hence our desire to have
an overseas agent. I have therefore been directed to inquire
if you would agree to act as our overseas agent in order
to actualise this transaction. The deal in brief is that
the funds with which to carry out our proposed investments
in your country is presently in a coded account in the Nigerian
apex bank and we need your assistance to transfer the funds
to your country or any safe account outside your country
in a convenient bank account that will be provided by you
before we can put the funds into use. For this you shall
be considered to have executed a contract for the ministry.
The contract sum of which shall run into US$15.5Million
of which your share shall be 30% if you agree to be our
overseas agent. Your area of specialisation does not matter
in this transaction, all that is required of you is a safe
account and your willingness to assist us acquire estates
in your country. As soon as payment is effected and the
amount mentioned above is successfully transferred into
your account, we intend to use our own share in acquiring
some estates abroad. For this too, you shall serve as our
agent . It might interest you to note that last year, a
similar transaction was carried out with one MR. CHIENCHEN
YU of Taiwan but after securing the payment approvals, and
payment effected, MR.CHIENCHEN YU changed his numbers and
addresses, and was no where to be found on our getting to
Taiwan. That was how we lost US$7.5Million. So this time
around , I will be with you before the remmittance is made
into your provided account to avoid future occurrence and
allow trust to play a very minimal role until performance
is seen. You are requested to communicate your acceptance
or otherwise of this proposal, through my email address
after which i will send my telephone and fax number to you.
After which we shall discuss in details the modalities for
seeing this transaction through.If however, you are not
disposed to assist, kindly destroy this letter in view of
the confidentiality of the proposed transaction and interest
of personalities involved.
Thank you in anticipation of your co-operation.
Best Regards,
Arthur Martins.
