Folks,
Here is the reply to my reply to the good doctor in Nigeria... the new twist
is that they propose to launder the money out by importiing goods from me
into Nigeria. Actually i am leaving off this example becasue it is so
transparent as to be boring... but, what would follow is this:
1. I give them all my particulars as they request.
2. They propose I buy wheat, apples, autos, machinery anything at all and
overinflate the price.
3. They open a letter of credit (on a nonexistent bank) to my benefit for
some $30.5 million, and I ship what I can against this letter of credit.
Please note if I could only get, after borrowing as much as I could and
liquidating all I own, say only $5 million in cash, this would be fine,
because they would then direct me to ship $5 million worth of goods and I
would invoice for $30.5 million. The $5 million would be necessary, they
expplain, to fool their government that a real transaction is taking place.
4. The goods move onward to Nigeria.
5. My local bank tells me the letter of credit is fraudulent. I try to get
goods recalled...not possible.
6. My goods disappear into Nigeria.
7. A relative shoots me.
The first six i am positive would occur. Please note the erudition; Nigeria
has first rate talent, but due to USA going off the gold standard, commodity
deflation has left formerly wealthy people desitute. So we have the
following:

Attn: Jhon Spiers
Dear sir,
BUSINESS PROPOSAL: TRANSFER OF US$30.5M (THIRTY
MILLION, FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED STATES DOLLARS)
& BUSINESS INVESTMENT PARTNERSHIP.
First, I must solicit your strictest confidence in
this transaction, this is by virtue of it's nature as
been utterly confidential and top secret as you were
introduced to us in confidence by our Attorney
Barrister Ola James.
We are top officials from the Federal Ministry of
Works & Housing (FMW&H), Federal Ministry of Finance
and the Presidency, making up the Contract Review
Committee (CRC) set up by the Federal Government of
Nigeria to review contracts awarded by the past
Military administration.
In the course of our work in the CRC, we discovered
this fund which resulted from grossly over-invoiced
contracts which were executed for the FMW&H during the
last administration. The companies that executed the
contract have been duly paid and the contracts
commissioned leaving the sum of US$75.5M floating in
the Escrow account of the Central Bank of Nigeria
ready for payment.
I have therefore been mandated as a matter of trust by
my colleagues in the Panel to look for an over-seas
partner to whom we could transfer the sum of US$30.5M
by Legally subcontracting the contract entitlement to
your company. This is bearing in mind that our civil
service code of conduct forbids us from owning foreign
companies or running foreign accounts while in
Government service hence the need for an over-seas
partner.
We have agreed that the funds will be shared thus
after it has been transferred into your account:
(1) 20% of the money will go to you for acting as the
beneficiary of the fund.
(2) 70% to us the Government officials (with wish we
wish to commence an importation business in
conjunction with you).
(3) 10% has been set aside as an abstract projection
for reimbursement to both parties for incidental
expenses that may be incurred in the course of this
transaction.
All logistics are in place and all modalities worked
out for the smooth conclusion of the transaction
within ten to fourteen working days of commencement
after receipt of the following information from you:
Your company name, address, company's details and
activities, telephone & fax numbers, Mobile Number if
any, Complete Banking Details. These information will
enable us make applications and lodge claims to the
concerned Ministries & agencies in favor of your
company and it is pertinent to state here that this
transaction is entirely based on trust as the Solar
Bank Draft or Certified Cheque draw able in any of the
Central Bank of Nigeria correspondent Bankers in
America is going to be made in your name.
Please acknowledge the receipt of this letter by
reaching me on this telephone number for further
briefings and clarifications within the next 48
hours Tel. 234 9 2720929.
Yours faithfully,
DR. USMAN HUSSEIN
Chairman C.R.C, Abuja Nigeria.
