Dear friend,
I amDr Raymond Kings ,a member of the Contract Award Committee of the above
department.
My term of reference involves the award of contracts to multinational
companies. My office is saddled with the responsibility of contract award,
screening, categorization and prioritization of projects embarked
upon by Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR) as well as feasibility
studies for selected projects and supervisig the project consultants
involved. The DPR is now compiling beneficiaries to be paid for the second
Quarter of this year,2004.
The crux of this mail is that the finance/contract department of the DPR
deliberately over -invoiced the contract value of the various contracts
awarded.
In the course of disbursements, this department has been able to accumulate
the sum of US$6,200,000.00 (Six Million,two Hundred Thousand U.S Dollars) as
the over-invoiced sum. This money is currently in a suspense account of the
DPR account with the Debt Reconciliation Committee (DRC).
We now seek to process the transfer of this fundofficially as contract
payment to you as a foreign contractor, who will be fronting for us as the
beneficiary of the fund. In this way we can facilitate these funds into your
nominated account for possible investment abroad. We are not allowed as a
matter of government policy to operate any foreign account to transfer this
fund into.
However, for your involvement in assisting us with this transfer into your
nominated account we have revolved a sharing formula as follows:
(1) 30% for you as the foreign partner
(2) 70% for my colleagues and I.
(3) All expenses shall be made by us the officials involved here in Nigeria,
you will only help us to receive this money in your bank account.

investment of our share in any business in your
country. Be informed that this business is genuine and100% safe considering
the high-power government officials involved. Send your private
fax/telephone
numbers. Upon your response we shall provide you with further
information on the procedures.Please do reply to fraykings@o2.pl
