Subject: viable and profitable.......

Energy Matters.
ATTN : Dear Friend,
Through some discreet inquiries from our Chambers of Commerce, you and your
organization were revealed as being quite astute in private entrepreneur. On
this premise, we have no doubt in your ability to handle a financial
business of considerable amount, which will form the bedrock of an extensive
business partnership in due course. In unfolding this proposal,I want to
count on
your status, as a respected executive of your company to believe that you
will handle it with all sincerity and accord it absolute confidentiality
that it deserves.
Being the secretary to the panel that is reviewing the award of past project
that discovered this fund,I have been mandated to open a business
relationship with you on this mutually beneficial opportunity.This business
involves the remittance of US$26.5 million (Twenty-six Million, Five Hundred
Thousand dollars)only into your bank account from our apex bank where this
fund
has been lying idle n a suspense account. The money accrued through
deliberate over-invoicing of old project executed for the Nigerian National
Petroleum Corporation by some foreign firms.
We have worked out this scheme to benefit us along with any foreign partner
who obliges us the materials and channel to transfer out the fund into
his/her nominated account with a view to traveling down to meet you
thereafter so that we can have our share.In the past, we did encountered a
great loss from our previous experience with a Swiss who in trying to assist
us suggested that the transfer should bed one in three installments into his
account. Together,we
were able to transfer the first installment which was assumed to be a part
payment of the contract sum amounting to US$8.625M (Eight million, six
hundred and twenty five thousand dollars), into his account that he gave
us.He however disappeared into thin air on our arrival at Zurich in
Switzerland to collect ourshare. Series of attempt to contact him proved
abortive and that is how we lost this whooping amount to the Swiss.
We have now fully worked outthe operational modalities to avoid any
reoccurrence of such loss and to forestall any hitch. If you would assist or
participate in this deal,then please endeavor to get in touch with me
immediately through my email address. This is my personal and confidential
email address. In picking on you for this business, please note that your
expertise has been taken into consideration,as you will be required to guide
us through a wise investment of our share of the fund in a viable and
profitable venture in your country.
In the world over, bigger firms who bid for various contracts especially in
third world countries like ours can sub-contract some of them to other firms
for execution.That is your firm will be regarded as one of those that
executed one of such projectsand therefore entitle to receive the contract
value. Be rest assured that this transaction is 100% risk free as there is
actually no risk involved either now or in the future for we are well
connected in official circle. Given our level of ommitment at the moment,we
want to assure you that with full dedication on your part, the objective of
having this fund remitted would have been realized within a period of two
weeks.It is hereby expressly agreed in principle that at the end of the
transaction, you will be entitled to 30% of
the entire sum, which you are free to withdraw as soon as you confirm that
the fund has been remitted into your account.
I am awaiting your response most urgently to enable me know the next move to
make.I will appreciate if you kindly respond through this alternative E-mail
address: fpdnnpc@easymail.hu
