NNPC
NIGERIA NATIONAL PETROLEUM CORPORATIONS {NNPC}
Dear Friend,
I am Dr Robert Basil Of Petroleum Corpdirector in the foreign affairs department of the Nigerian National oration (NNPC). I got your email during a personal research on the Internet and wish to use this opportunity to notify you of the existence of a certain amount we wish to transfer overseas for the purpose of investments and importation of goods from your country.
In May 2005, a contract of fivety million United States dollars ($50,000,000) was awarded to a foreign company by my ministry. The contract was supply, erection and system optimization of supper polyore 200,000-bpsd, system optimization of 280,000-monax axial plants and the computerization of conveyor belt for Kaduna refinery. With only the consent of the head of the contract evaluation department, I over invoiced the contract value by thirty four million United States dollars ($34,000,000).
The contract has been completed and the foreign company fully paid off. But in the office files and paper work, the company is still owed USD34M representing the over invoiced amount. Because this amount is derived from the award and execution of a foreign contract, there is no way the money can be paid locally. That is why I contacted you so that we can do the project together for our mutual benefit. We have concluded every necessary arrangement to transfer this amount to a foreign account as the final phase payment for the said contract. What we need is your bank account into which we can deposit the money and after we shall come over there to share the money with you.
We sincerely need an honest person to work with and have agreed to share the money in the following percentages, 70% will be for us who will effect the transfer and 30% will be for you whose account is used to secure the funds. There is no risk involvement because applications will be made to the concerned Federal ministries and parastatal with official approvals given by the Federal government before the Central bank of Nigeria will be officially empowered to wire the funds to your account by telegraphic transfer. If you are interested, contact me by Email through {robertbasil2001@yahoo.com.cn} indicating your full names or company name and address. Your direct telephone and fax numbers. The name and address of the bank you will like us to deposit the money, the telephone and fax numbers of the bank, your account number etc. Everything has been arranged and I will send more information about the business transaction to you as soon as I hear from you. For obvious reasons, please keep the proposal top secret and highly confidential.
Kind regards,
ROBERT BASIL,
