Subject: good day

Dear Sir/Madam
I am DR.John Sule the Chief Accountant of theNigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC)headquarters in Lagos , Nigeria.

I have noreason to doubt your honesty and credibility hence I make this proposal to you. Please, treat with utmostconfidence and excuse me for the embarrassment this letter might cause you as we have not met or known each other before.

I have the mandate of my colleagues in office to solicite for your assistance for a deal we want to execute, My Corporation (NNPC) awarded a contract of US$86,700,000.00 (Eighty - Six Million, Seven Hundred Thousand U.S Dollars) to a Foreign firms to supply Rig & Drilling Equipment for Kaduna Refinery here in Nigeria but because of my position, this contract was over invoiced to US$115,300,000.00 (One Hundred and Fifteen Million, Three Hundred Thousand United State Dollars).

The original contract sum has been paid to the contractors that executed the project, now we are left with the over- invoice sum of US$28,600,000.00 (Twenty Eight Million, Six Hundred Thousand U.S. Dollars Only). All arrangements have been concluded on how this money would be moved. Our constraints lie on the fact that we required a foreign firm or individual account number where the money will be paid into; whose owner will be portrayed as a contract beneficiary of fund.
Infact this is why I am writing you this letter. NOTE:- There is no risk involved as we have taken care, loopholes covered.

As a civil servant, we are aware that some financial assistance would be required to conclude this job, we are prepared to give as much as 35% of the total sum to whoever that is willing to assist, while 60% of the total sum will go for me and my colleagues. To this effect, 5% would be earmarked to cover all the expenses (Local and International).
This is because the process would pass through some Directors in the Ministry of Finance and Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN). These officials might require some tips to facilitate payment without delay since they are not aware of the deal.

Please, should you be willing to assist, we shall require the following information to enable us put claim immediately. Your bank name, Address and Account Number, Fax number of the Bank where the money will be transferred into. But should you not be in a position to assist, thisdeal has to remain a secret till the end of time.

It is important I mention that the officials involved in this transaction are top Government Functionaries who have put in years of service to this Country.
For the maintenance of personal integrity and prestige of all persons involved in this transaction, you are implored to exhibit utmost secrecy throughout the duration of the transaction.

You are strongly advise to avoid discussing this transaction with a third party as that could jeopardise the entire transaction. You may open a separate bank account in any Country for this purpose if you wish.

All arrangements of this transfer for this quarter payment for the year, 2004 has been properly organised and further action awaits your immediate response.

Hurry and send to me the Account Number where the money will be transferred into, so that we can start to process for the approval of this payment.
I look forward to hearing from you.
PLEASE REPLY TO(jhsule@yahoo.co.uk)
Best Regards

Dr. John Sule
