REQUEST FOR MUTUAL BUSINESS TRANSACTION, FOR A TRANSFER OF US$3OM INTO A
FOREIGN ACCOUNT.
I am the Director General, Finance and procurement to the NIGERIAN NATIONAL
PETROLEUM CORPORATION (NNPC) intending to retire from service after putting
in many years of service in the corporation.Meanwhile, I solicit for your
assistance for a confidential business proposal that require a Foreign
partner to execute and appeal that you will spare a thought on this letter
for better understanding of its urgency need to carry out the transaction as
quickly as possible, not minding that we have neither met in person nor
discussed it in the past. However, I have concluded arrangement of
transferring the sum of US$30M (Thirty Million,United States Dollars)ONLY
to an account of a credible and trustworthy foreign partner that can assist
and provide me with a bank account in your country where the above sum
US$30M will be transferred.Based on that I seek your assistance to provide
us with an account where this money will be transferred.
NATURE/SOURCE OF THE FUND
This money emanated from the over-invoiced Contract payment awarded to a
foreign firm by Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation last year. Actually
the original contractor has been paid the original sum US$120M,But l and my
colleagues being the menbers of the contract awarding committee of my
corporation decided over inflate the amount to the tone of $150m.The actual
contract amount of $120m has since been paid to the original contractor
remaining the sum US$3OM which was inflated by l And two of my colleagues
for our own mutual benefit. Meanwhile, I allowed the money to remain
concealed in the special account of Nigeria National petroleum Corporation
(NNPC) with Central Bank of Nigeria pending the time I get a reliable and
trustworthy foreign partner who will assist to provide account where this
money will be transferred. In this
regards, if you are willing to take part in this transaction without
compulsion or doubt. I demand the following information from you to commence
the transfer of the fund into your account.
So What is required of you is as follows:(1) Name and Address of your
Company. (2)Personal Phone and Fax Number to reach you at need. My reason
for not personally opening an offshore account where I can lodge in this
money is sequel to the Nigeria Constitutional Laws guiding Civil Servant
(Code of Conduct Bureau) which states that, No Civil Servant in Nigeria is
permitted to operate a foreign account secondly, I cannot withdraw this
money locally here in Nigeria as it has been regarded and approved as funds
due for payment to a foreign firm. I have concluded arrangement for the
successful transfer of the fund into your account. Meanwhile, on receipt of
this fund into your account you will be entitled to 20% of the fund, 70%
for me and my two colleagues here,10% has been mapped out for miscellaneous
expenses that both parties might incure during the transaction. This fund is
non-deductible at source. Therefore, all parties shall be re-imburse from
the 10% set-aside on conclusion of this transaction.
Note also, that this business is 100% risk- free from both sides now and in
future as it also demands adequate secrecy from either side. Note that the
particular nature of your Companies line of business is irrelevant to this
transaction so, please kindly acknowledge the receipt of this letter, as
