If they want the Yak they'll also want Joey and Vic. Vic they can have but the other two they wouldn't be able to afford. Why don't our Nigerian contingent suggest that this consortium buy us out, it could be a lot cheaper in the long term Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mac Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 If there is fire to this smoke I for one am very worried, Nigerians in positions of wealth and power do have a particularly unsavory air of corruption about them and I feel they would offer Yak financial incentives that we can't compete with. Hope this is bollocks though. ATB Mac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnno Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 Yeah, I got an email from those guys the other day. They must have been trying to get to Kenwright or something. Anyway, somehow it ended up in my email. Looks like they gave up and went for Newcastle instead. Oh well. Lagos, Nigeria.Attention: The Chairman/CEO Dear Sir, Confidential Business Proposal Having consulted with my colleagues and based on the information gathered from the Nigerian Chambers Of Commerce And Industry, I have the privilege to request your assistance to transfer the sum of $47,500,000.00 (forty seven million, five hundred thousand United States dollars) into your accounts. The above sum resulted from an over-invoiced contract, executed, commissioned and paid for about five years (5) ago by a contractor by the name of Abdulrasaq Yakubu Aiyegbeni. This action was however intentional and since then the fund has been in a suspense account at The Central Bank Of Nigeria Apex Bank. We are now ready to transfer the fund overseas and that is where you come in. It is important to inform you that as civil servants, we are forbidden to operate a foreign account; that is why we require your assistance. The transfer is risk free on both sides. I am an accountant with the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC). If you find this proposal acceptable, we shall require the following documents: ( a ) your banker's name, telephone, account and fax numbers. ( b ) your private telephone and fax numbers —for confidentiality and easy communication. ( c ) your letter-headed paper stamped and signed. Alternatively we will furnish you with the text of what to type into your letter-headed paper, along with a breakdown explaining, comprehensively what we require of you. The business will take us thirty (30) working days to accomplish. Please reply urgently. Best regards Howgul Abul Arhu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
