Dear Friend,
I am Engr.Roland Igho, a senior manager, Ministry of Petroleum and Natural
Resources (MPNR) Lagos,who has been delegated by my colleagues to seek the
assistance of a reliable foreign company or individual into whose bank account
we can discreetly transfer the sum of $16m USD
(Sixteen Million U.S. Dollars Only) under our perefcted modalities.
These funds arose from a deliberate over-invoicing of contract bills of
contracts,awarded by the ministry of petroleum and natural resources (MP&NR)
during the administration of the former military dictator late, General
Sanni Abacha who died on 7th June 1998. Since then the money
has been lying in the suspense account of Ministry of Petroleum & Natural
Resources with the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN)(Government bankers). However,
the current favorable political/Economical climate in the country now presents
an opportunity for this money to be Transferred out of our country without
any hitches - as we hope and believe it would be of mutual benefit to us
all.
Already, we have put in motion the complete machinery and modalities to
enhance successful commencement and completion of this transaction and further
actions will commence the moment we hear from you. We have agreed that after
the transfer of the money into your account, you
shall be entitled to a cut of the total sum,which will be arrived at subject
to negotiation.5% is earmarked for reimbursement on minor incidental expenses
that may be incurred during the course of this transaction. Conclusively,
the nature of your business is not particularly relevant for the success
of this transaction. All we require is your willingness to co-operate with
us,and also an assurance that our Share of the funds will be given to us
when the money arrives your account. Most importantly, we have taken all
necessary precautions
to ensure a no risk situation on the side of both parties as this transaction
is expected to be through within 7 to 10 working days. Please if the proposal
is acceptable to you, contact me immediately through this email address
(r_igho@outgun.com)
However,if you are not interested,kindly disregard the contents of this
letter. It is advisable to include your private Telephone and Fax numbers
while replying for easy and effective communication. The trust we have reposed
in you at this point is enormous and cannot be over-emphasized.
We await your prompt response to this proposal, so we can commence here.
Do foward your response to my confidential email address(r_igho@outgun.com)
Best Regards.
Engr.Roland Igho.
