Lagos-Nigeria.
BUSINESS PROPOSALRE: TRANSFER OF US$21.5 MILLION (TWENTY ONE MILLION, FIVE
HUNDRED THOUSAND US DOLLARS ONLY).
I know this email will reach you as a surprise, but need not to worry as we are using the only quickest
medium available to seek for foreign assistance/partnership in a business transaction which is of mutual
benefit.
I am a member of the Federal Government of Nigeria Contract Award and Monitoring Committee in the
Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) Sometime ago, a contract was awarded to a foreign firm
in NNPC by my Committee. This contract was over invoiced to the tune of US$21.5M. U. S.Dollars. This
was done deliberately. The over-invoicing was a deal by my committee to benefit from the project. We
now want to transfer this money which is in a suspense Account with NNPC into any Overseas Account
which we expect you to provide for us.
SHARE: -
For providing the account where we shall remit the money into, you will be entitled to 20% of the
money,70% will be for me and my partners while 10% has been mapped out from the total sum to cover
any expenses that may be incurred by us during the course of this transfer,both locally and
international expenses.
It does not matter whether or not your company does contract projects of this nature described here. The
assumption is that your company won the major contract and subcontracted it out to other companies.
More often than not, big trading companies or firms of unrelated fields win major contracts
and subcontracts to more specialized firms for execution of such contracts.
We have strong reliable connections and contacts at the Central Bank of Nigeria, as well as the Federal
Ministry of Finance and we have no doubt that all the money will be released and transferred if we get
the necessary foreign partner to assist us in this deal. Therefore, when the business is successfully
concluded we shall through our same connections withdraw all documents used from all the concerned
Government Ministries for 100% security.
We are ordinary civil servants and we will not want to miss this once in a life time chance to get rich. We
want this money to be transferred to the overseas Accounts for us, before the Government ministries
starts Auditing all Federal Government owned Parastatals.
Please contact me immediately through my phone number or email address whether or not you
are interested in this deal. If you are not, it will enable me scout for another foreign partner to carry out
this deal. But where you are interested, contact me through my above email address, as time is of the
essence in this business. I wait in anticipation of your fullest co-operation.
Yours Faithfully,
Thomas Adelabu
