Subject: YOUR ATTENTION
Dear Sir/madam,
REPLY TO: denischiazor40@yahoo.co.uk
First, I must solicit your confidant in this transaction, this is by virtue
of its nature as utterly CONFIDENTIAL and TOP SECRET. Though I know that
the transaction of this magnitude will make any one apprehensive and worried,
but I am assuring you that all will be well at the end of the day. We have
decided to contact you due to the urgency of this transaction, as we have
been reliably informed of your discreteness and ability in transaction of
this nature.
Let me start by first introducing myself properly to you, I am ENGR. DENIS
CHIAZOR, A Director with the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC)
Eleme Refinery. I came to know of you in my private search for a reliable
and reputable person to handle the confidential transaction, which involves
the transfer of a huge sum of money to a foreign account requiring maximum
confidence.
THE PROPOSITION: a foreigner, Engineer James Akmed, an Oil Merchant/Contractor
with the Federal Government of Nigeria, until his suspension three years
ago, executed with us at Eleme Refinery of NNPC, and had a total contract
executed worth US$32.5 (Thirty-Two Million,Five Hundred Thousand United
States Dollar) which flows in the Corporation's suspense account.
It is because of the allegation/petition leveled against him that he (Engr.
James Akmed) who is a close friend to the late dictatorship General Sanni
Abacha (formal Military President of Nigeria) who died in office in 1998
and during his tenure the country experienced various mismanagement and
series of malpractices were carried out in collaboration with his foreign
friends.
However, a Panel were set up to investigate the issue, who found him (Engr.
James Akmed) guilty and the present Democratic President of Nigeria Chief
Olusegun Obasanjo suspended him from transacting any business in Nigeria
with immediate effect and was asked to leave the country.
However, these made the contract fund "UNCLAIMED" which was only known to
my colleagues and I. Fortunately, all the Contract document including the
"CONTRACT COMPLETION CERTIFICATE" are with me but the need for a very trustworthy
foreign business man/woman whom I would present as the Foreign contractor/beneficiary
to claim the fund.
In order to achieve this development, some of my colleagues and I now seek
your permission to have you stand as the FOREIGN CONTRACTOR so that the
funds would be released and paid into your account as beneficiary's who
executed the contract in the year 1999. All documents and proves to enable
you get this fund will be carefully worked out.
More so, we are assuring you of a 100% risk free involvement. Your share
stays while the rest would be for me and my colleagues for investment purposes
in your country.
We have agree that, the funds be shared thus, after it has been transferred
into your nominated account: (1) 30% of the money will go to you for acting
as the beneficiary of the fund. (2.) 5% will be set aside for reimbursement
to both parties for any incidental expenses that may be incurred in the
cause of the transfer. (3). 65% to us the originator of the transaction.
If this proposal is acceptable by you, furnish me with your most confidential
Telephone and Fax Number(s), Company Name to use, Banking information including
the A/C Number, Swift Code (if any).These informations are for filing up
claims in your favour.
I assure you that if you will follow my instruction, the fund shall be in
your Account within 7-10 days of this transaction.
Thanking you for your kind understanding in this regard while I await your
urgent response.
My best regards,
ENGR. DENIS CHIAZOR (MNSE)
