Subject: I NEED YOUR ASSISTANCE
Dear friend,
I decided to contact you by email due to the urgency of this business which must be completed as soon as possible. I am Mrs. Rosemary Johnson, the head of Contract Awarding Committee of Nigerian Railway Corporation. Nigerian Railway Corporation is a ministry in control of all Nigeria Train stations in my country and my ministry recently awarded a contract for the purchase of a brand new modern Train because the old ones has been damaged for the past three years which has affected transportation system in my city.
The real cost of the new Train is $230Million ( Two Hundred and Thirty Million U.S Dollars) which has been concluded with the supplying company but because of my position as the head of Contract Awarding Committee in my ministry I decided to inflate the price of the Train to $250Million ( Two Hundred and Fifty Million U.S Dollars) so that i will personally have the balance $20Million ( Twenty Million U.S Dollars) to myself. Now the $230Million has been paid to the supplying company remaining my balance $20Million I diverted which I want you to receive because I cannot receive this money by myself since am still working with my ministry as a civil servant and this money must be transfer out of my country so that the movement of the payment will not be suspected since the purchase of this new Train was awarded to a foreign company and the remaining $20Million must also be transferred to a foreign account and I need a foreign partner like you that will stand as a foreign contractor before this $20Million can be
There is nothing to fear about this business because the whole contract amount of $250Million has already been approved and recorded by my ministry as the total cost of this Train and the supplying company has received their $230Million for the contract and the component parts of the Train is now arriving in my country to enable them fix it up remaining for me to claim the $20Million I over invoice. I will provide all the necessary documents to have this fund pay to you either by bank transfer into your account or you receive it by a certified bank draft which you will pay into your account. I decided to do this business because I will be retiring from my Job in the next six months and I will use my share to start up a new live after my retirement. For your assistance in this business, You will have 40% out of this $20Million while my share will be 60%. Please get back to me if you are interested to assist me.
Mrs. Rosemary Johnson
Head of Contract Awarding Committee
Nigerian Railway Corporation.
