Subject: FROM MR ETO
SIR,
You might have received my proposal which I sent to you by post. I have been
out of town since two months, as I came back I decided to email this
proposal to you in case you did not receive the one I sent by post.
If you are interested, do email me through my email address. Although this
letter may come to you as a surprise, please accept it as an introduction of
myself and a request for your urgent attention. I am sending this letter to
you in my quest for a reputable, honest person with whom I will execute this
deal.
I am an Accountant and member of the "TENDER'S COMMITTEE" of my Corporation,
the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (N.N.P.C) in charge of contract
awards, After due consultation with other members of the committee, I have
specifically been mandated to arrange with you for a possible transfer of
some funds being an over estimated sum resulting from various contracts
executed by Saipem Namprogetti and other foreign firms for my Corporation.
The contracts in question were for the following:-
(i)The construction of OSO condensate recovery plant worth $1.2 Billion.
(ii)Construction of several pipeline network for crude, gas and petroleum
products evacuation, for $1.0 Billion.
(iii) $80M for Turn Around Maintenance (T.A.M) of Port-Harcourt and Warri
Refineries.
The original value of these contracts were purposely over-inflated by us
(Tender Committee) with the sum of $17,000,000 (SEVENTEEN MILLION U.S.
DORLLARS), now that all the firms have received their supposed payments
accordingly and the projects commissioned, we want to transfer this over
invoiced sum to a trusted foreigner's account. We have agreed that if your
company can act as the beneficiary, you will retain 30% of the total amount,
60% for us while 10% will be set aside for any expense which will be
incurred (internal and external) during the process of transfer, since we
as civil servants are prohibited by the code of conduct bureau (civil
service laws) from operating foreign accounts.
Honestly we expect that some money are going to be spent along the line of
getting the deal fruitfully executed. We expect to lobby some top
officials for them to approve the payment.
All modalities have been worked out with the top officials of Federal
Ministry of Finance and the Central Bank of Nigeria.
If you are intrested to work with us, funish me with the informations below.
(1).The name of the Bank, Account Number, Address and Telex Number of the
Bank.
(2).Your personal Phone, Fax and Telex Numbers for easy communication.
Note that we have put in many years of meticulous services to the
Government, therefore, we would not want our reputable image dented.
Therefore, handle this arrangement with maturity, topmost secrecy and
urgency.
Yours faithfully,
MR.EMEKA ETO
