ATTENTION:SIR,
I am Dr.Zakki Akaka,Project Director and Chairman of the Tender
Committee of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC).My
Committee is principally concerned with payment of all contract awarded
from 1998 to date,in order of priority as regard capital projects of
the NNPC. www.nigerianoil-gas.com/upstream/nnpc.htm
The information we gathered from the Foreign Office ofthe Nigeria
Chambers of Commerce and Industries is so positive as to convince us
that you could provide us with solution to a money transfer deal valued
at Thirty One Million United States Dollars and subsequently a joint
business venture.In the course of our duties as values, and project
inspectors for the on-going liquefied Natural Gas(LNG) project, we have
over-invoiced the value of some jobs done by foreign contractors for
the NNPC to the tune of US$31M.As follows:Computern optimization and
Installation $16,000.000.00 Installation of 250,000.00,Monax turbine
$10,000.000.00,Turn round Maintenance $5,000,000.00 Our aim of ver-
invoicing this payment is to divert the excess amount to a discrete
account abroad.This fund is now floating in suspense account at the
Central Bank of Nigeria(CBN).
This is the fund my myself and colleagues have decided to transfer into
your account since we, as civil servants are not allowed to operate or
own foreign account.The money will be shared as follows after transfer : 30%
for you (Account Owner) 60% for me and my colleagues,10% for reimbursement
for both local and international expenses that Would
be incurred in the course of this transaction. To be able to claim the
funds, we will be purporting your name and a company name to be the original
contractor/ beneficiary of the funds so that all procedures for
international transfer shall be strictly followed,as we have worked out all
modalities for a swift and riskfree transfer.
If this proposal satisfies you, please contact me through
dr_zakaka03@yahoo.co.in,with the following mportant information.Your
Bank Name / Address Account Name ,Account NumberTel/Fax Telex of
Bank,with your Personal Phone/Fax Numbers for easy communication. This
transaction will last for 7 working days from the time we submit the
required information,as all modalities concerning this transaction have been
worked out and it is completely risk free.
Please be informed that this subject is classified sensitive. Therefore
treat the transaction with utmost confidentiality and urgency.
