Dear friend,
I am Engr.Jude obi, a senior manager, Ministry of Petroleum and Natural
Resources (MPNR) Lagos, who has been delegated by my colleagues to seek
the assistance of a reliable foreign company or individual into whose bank
account we can discreetly transfer the sum of $16m USD (Sixteen Million
U.S. Dollars Only) under our perfected modalities.
These funds arose from a deliberate over-invoicing of contract bills of
contracts, awarded by the ministry of petroleum and natural resources (MP&NR)
during the administration of the former military dictator late, General
who died on 7th June 1998. Since then the money has been lying in the suspense
account of Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Resources with the Central Bank
of Nigeria (CBN)(Government bankers). However, the current favorable political/Economical
climate in the country now presents an opportunity for this money to be
Transferred out of our country without any hitches - as we hope and believe
it would be of mutual benefit to us all. Already, we have put in motion
the complete machinery and modalities to enhance successful commencement
and
completion of this transaction and further actions will commence the moment
we hear from you. We have agreed that after the transfer of the money into
your account, you shall be entitled to a cut of the total sum, which will
be arrived at subject to negotiation.5% is earmarked for reimbursement on
minor incidental expenses that may be incurred during the course of this
transaction. Conclusively, the nature of your business is not particularly
relevant for the success of this transaction. All we require is your willingness
to co-operate with us, and also an assurance that our Share of the funds
will be given to us when the money arrives your account.
Most importantly, we have taken all necessary precautions to ensure a no
risk situation on the side of both parties as this transaction is expected
to be through within 7 to 10 working days. Please if the proposal is acceptable
to you, contact me immediately through my confidential email address (objude@outgun.com)
However, if you are not interested, kindly disregard the contents of this
letter. It is advisable to include your private Telephone and Fax numbers
while replying for easy and effective communication. The trust we have reposed
in you at this point is enormous and cannot be over-emphasized.
We await your prompt response to this proposal, so we can commence here.
Do forward your response to my confidential email address(objude@outgun.com)
Best Regards.
Engr.Jude obi.
