Subject: GREETINGS !
Dear Friend,
I have decided to contact you due to the urgency of this transaction,Let me
start by introducing myself properly to you, My name is senator Ibrahim
Mantu the chairman for the committee on budget and planning, also the Deputy
Senate President of the Federal Republic Of Nigeria.
I got your e-mail address via the web while trying to find a reliable person
who can assist me without endangering my person and social status, So i
decided to contact you if you can be of any assistance.
I just need a reliable and reputable person to handle this
transaction,because it involves the transfer of the sum of Twenty five
million United States dollars($25m) to a reliable account abroad.
Your role is paramount due to the fact that there are lots of restrictions
binding public office holders and civil servants here and we are not
allowed to operate foreign accounts.
This amount was secured from excess oil sales from Nigeria crude oil The sum
of $1.2 billion oil windfall was released by the NNPC and shell petroleum
development company for the month of January 2006 by The Organisation of
Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) Crude oil price was peg at $54.00 per
barrel and fortunately for oil producing countries like Nigeria, there was
rises in oil price to about $67.00 and $70.00 per barrel and as a result
there was excess oil sales and I believe you would be aware of this rise in
Oil price in last few weeks Out of this $1.2 billion excess oil funds.
Myself, because of my influence and the power of my office, diverted the sum
of Twenty five million United state dollars into an account created with a
fake identity as if this fund was used for debt that the federal gorvernment
is owning a foreign contractor.
Your Role is to enable the bank transfer this US$25m secured into your bank
account, you will be acting as one of our contractors who have executed a
government contract here in Nigeria and beneficiary of this fund the US$25m
will be paid In your favour I will guide you on how we will achieve this.
Note, the reason for the transfer of these Twenty five Million us dollar
into your account is because of my incapability as Government officials to
own a foreign account, All the necessary documentation for the facilitation
and approval of this fund into your Account will be carefully taken good
care of hence i am involved.
IN this transaction i assure you on your own part it's 100% risk free As all
the modalities for the smooth transfer of this fund into your Account will
be monitored from my office.
You have the opportunity to discuss your percentage for your assistance.To
enable us proceed with this business, please send to me the following:
1)Your direct phone and
2)Your fax numbers if any.
My Best Regards,
Senator Ibrahim Mantu
