22nd September, 2015. Attention Sir, My apologies in advance for contacting you in this manner, the need is extremely urgent and I have no other option available. I am an accountant and a member of the audit committee of the Federal Ministry of Environment in Nigeria, explicitly designated with the responsibility to provide:- oversight of the financial reporting process, the forensic audit process, the system of internal controls and compliance with laws and regulations. In the course of our duty, we discovered among other things, that the sum of $16,400,000.00 USD is in suspense in the account of the Federal Ministry of Environment at Central Bank of Nigeria unclaimed. After a more thorough investigation, we discovered that the amount was the result of an over-invoiced contract which was awarded in 2014 for the supply of Scavenger Depollution Boats with Voraxial Separators for the cleaning of the oil spills/habours in the oil producing areas of Niger Delta. When contacted, the Chief Financial Officer of the Federal Ministry of Environment confessed in strict confidence that the over-invoicing of the original contract sum was masterminded by the Contract Award Committee with his consent and full collaboration, and with the sole intention to transfer and use the money. Due to the caliber of people involved in the deal, we have therefore teamed up with them to finalize, tidy -up the account records and close the deal with your assistance and cooperation, as we need a foreign firm/individual to be presented by us as a sub-contractor for the claim of the money, hence they have mandated me to contact you. Upon receipt of your reply confirming your interest in working with us on this project, we will discuss the terms of transaction and give you details as we have carefully worked out the modalities for a safe transfer of the fund without putting any party in any kind of danger during and after the deal had been concluded. N/B: Please, this information should under no circumstance be divulged to any other person or persons for security reasons. Thank you for your understanding expected. Warm regards, Prof. MARTIN AKOBUNDU Federal Ministry of Environment Green Building, Plot 444, Aguiyi Ironsi Street, Opposite Raw Materials Research and Development Council Maitama, Abuja, Nigerai.
