NIGERIAN NATIONAL PETROLEUM CORPORATION CORPORATE HEADQUARTERS
LAGOS-NIGERIA
FROM:Mr.Goddy Osuama
TEL: 234-80-35646874.
Dear Friend,
REQUEST FOR URGENT CONFIDENTIAL BUSINESS PROPOSAL
After due deliberation with my colleagues, I decided to forward this
proposal. We want a
reliable person who could assist us to transfer the sum of Thirty Million
United States Dollars (US$30,000,000.00) into his/ her account. This fund
resulted from an over-invoiced bill from contract awarded by us under the
budget allocation to my ministry and the bill was approved
for payment by the concerned ministries.
The contract has been executed, commissioned and contractor paid the actual
cost of the contract. We are left with the balance of US$30,000,000.00 as
the over-invoiced amount; this was deliberately done, for our mutual
benefit. I'm contacting you to assist with the housing of this fund. You
stand to benefit 30% as Account Owner (fronted beneficiary), while 65% is
for us and 5% for miscellaneous expenses, as maybe required by our
Government and yours. As you may want to know and to make you less curious,
I got your address from adverts, in business directory that portrayed your
establishment in good light.
I am Mr.Goddy Osuama, the Secretary of the Contract Awarding Committee (CAC)
of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC). This transaction is
very much free from all sorts of RISK and TROUBLE from my Government. We
have been exercising patience for this opportunity for so long and to most
of us this is a lifetime opportunity, we cannot afford to miss this God
created chance. To get this fund paid into your account, we have to present
a Payment Invoice from a foreign establishment like yours. With this
invoice, we will seek approval to transfer the fund within 14
banking days thro ugh the APEX BANK (CBN) to your designated Bank Account.
One of my colleagues and I are involved in this deal, and will come to your
country for our shares upon the confirmation from you that the money has
been credited into your nominated Bank Account.Consequent upon your
acceptance of my proposal, kindly confirm you interest by
reverting to me through my alternative email
address:goddyosuama200@jovem.te.pt ,Your
reverting to me with your sincere and serious interest will enable me send
you the procedures .
It will surprise you why we choose you and trust you for this transaction.
Yes, we believe that good friends can be discovered and business like this
cannot be realized without trust. This is why we
trust you with this transaction. We are looking forward to doing this
transaction with you. Be further informed that everyone's interest and
security had been considered before you were contacted. So be rest assured
and feel freeto go into this transaction with us. But let honesty be our
watchword throughout this transaction and your prompt reply will be
highlyappreciated. Please do not fail to include your telephone numbers when
replying me.
Thank you.
Best regards,
Mr.Goddy Osuama
