FROM THE DESK OF: DR. FUNSHO WILLIAMS
CHAIRMAN, CONTRACT AWARD COMMITTEE, N.N.P.C.
NNPC TOWERS, CENTRAL DISTRICT, LAGOS-NIGERIA.
Dear FRIEND,
REQUEST FOR URGENT MUTUAL BUSINESS TRANSACTION.
Although this proposal might come to you as a surprise since it is
coming from someone you don't know or ever seen before,
but after due deliberation with my colleagues, we have decided to
forward this business proposal to you. We want a reliable person who
would assist us to transfer the sum of USD$37.4Million (Thirty Seven
million Four Hundred thousand United States
Dollars) into his or her nominated bank Account. This fund resulted
from an over-invoiced bill from contract awarded by us under the
budget allocation to my organization {NNPC} of Turn Around Maintain
ace and the bill was approved for payment by the appropriate
authorities. The contract was executed, commissioned and the
contractor was duly paid his full cost of the
Contract as stipulated in the contract agreement leaving behind the
USD$37.4M. As an over-invoiced for us as agreed.
............................................................
Therefore, the over-invoiced Amount of USD$37.4M which we have
deliberately over estimated for our own use is what we need your
assistance for transfer and for our mutual benefits. Due to the civil
services code of conduct here in Nigeria, civil servants are not
allowed to operate or own foreign account. This is why we are
contacting you for assistance in this regard.
We have agreed to share the money as for {flows.}.
{1.} 30% for your assistance/account
{2.} 60% for US,
{3.} 10% for taxes/expenses,
As may be required by your Government and ours. As you may want to
know and make you less curious, I got your address from a reputable
Large chamber of commerce and industry and I am the executive chairman
of the contract Award committee of the Nigerian National Petroleum
Corporation (NNPC). This transaction is very much free from all sort
of risk hence this business was carefully planned before it was
successfully executed and we the NNPC officials involved in this deal
have put in many years of meritorious service to our organization and
they wish to retire and start a new life with their of this
transaction.
............................................................
We have been exercising patience for this opportunity for so long and
for most of us this is a lifetime opportunity we cannot afford to
miss. To get this fund into your account, we have to present an
international business outfit and consequent upon indication of your
interest to fully assist us in this transaction, you are required to
furnish us with the followings {A) Your Banker's name and address,
telephone, fax and telex numbers.{B) Beneficiary of the account ,
Account Number and Routing code if any. {C) Your Private Telephone/Fax
Numbers for easy communication. This information will enable us apply
for approval of the fund from the concerned quarters within three to
four banking days and the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation
(NNPC) payment information data will be faxed immediately to you for
completion.
............................................................
Myself and our lawyer involved in this deal will come to your country
to arrange for our shares upon confirmation from you that the money
has been credited into your nominated bank account. All these will
only take us about {14} Fourteen working days to transfer this fund
into your account from the day we receive the requested information
from you. Your line of
Business in this transaction does not matter. Honesty and your ability
to keep this transaction highly confidential/secret and keep our own
shares safe when the money hits your account is what matters. Your
prompt reply will be highly
Appreciated.
