i do not have anything against you ourref : cbn / go / 0 xol 2 / 05 date : 21 st july 2005 tel : 234 - 1 - 470 - 7915 email address : mallamyusuf @ centbanks . org dear good friend after a serious thought , i decided to reach you directly and personally because i do not have anything against you , but your nigerian partners . i am the director of wire transfer / telex department of the central bank of nigeria , some time in the past your nigerian partners approached me through a friend of mine who works with one of the ministries here and requested that i assist them conclude a money transfer deal and we all agreed . according to them , they wanted to use this strategy to transfer a huge amount of us dollars which they accumulated through inflated contract awards and themoney has been floating in the ( c . b . n ) since the original beneficiary has been fully paid , so they wanted to use your account to transfer the surplus out of nigeria . we agreed that once i do this , they would give me us $ 100 , 000 . 00 and give me another usl 00 , 000 . 00 when i released the fund to your account . when they saw that i have done that and your name has been approved among the list of those to be paid , instead of giving me the agreed deposit of us $ 100 , 000 . 00 , they started avoiding me and resorted to threats . i immediately deleted the transfer code of the fund , which is only known to me because of my position , and release other contractors fund without yours . they became angry the more when they saw that their threat did not work , and started bribing other officials to get another approval to transfer the money to you without success . approvals are free , is it not funny that a beneficiary is being asked to pay for approval while his millions is here with us ? i am 100 % responsible for the delay and obstructions because of their breach of contract . if you doubt what i have just told you , pay any amount they will ask you to pay now , after a short time they will come up with another reason to pay again and it goes on and on . now if you want us to work together , these are my conditions . i . i will have 50 % of the money because it is only the two of us left fornow . ii . you will assist my son to open an account in your country or any other place of my choice where i will pay in my own share . iii as you have seen , it will be useless and mere waste of money if you continue with any other person , so we will conclude the transaction with utmost secrecy with the above telephone and fax number . if these conditions are acceptable to you , contact me as soon as possible to let us finalize so that i will send to you our official ktt wire transfer form to complete and i will release the money to your account . but if you are not interested , i advice you to forget the fund as it will be transferred into our consolidated national reserve . best regards . mallam yusuf director , wire transfer / telex dept .
