Subject: URGENT AND CONFIDENTIAL.
From the desk of Mallam Abdul Raman
Dear Sir,
I know this mail may come as surprise to you, since we do not know ourselves
or
had any previous contact before now, my purpose of writing you is that
we believe that you would be in a position to help us in our bid to transfer
the sum of forty-one million, five hundred thousand united states dollars
(US$41.5m) into a
foreign account.
We are members of a special committee for budget and planning of the ministry
of
Petroleum, this committee is principally concerned with contract appraisals
and
approvals in order of priorities as regards capital project of the federal
Government.
With our positions, we have successfully secured for ourselves the sum of
forty-one million five hundred thousand united state dollars ($41.5m).
The present government in my country is seeking the support of foreign
governments, so they gave directive to all federal parastatals to compile
and
settle all foreign contractors being owed for contracts that had been
executed, so our plan is to include the name that you will provide for us,
as one of
the contractors being owed in my corporation, The Nigerian national petroleum
corporation (NNPC).
What we need from you is
(1) a company name or a name of which to use as the
company that did execute the contract.
(2)an account even if empty into which the fund will be transferred into,
this is because our code of conduct prohibits
government officials from operating or owning foreign accounts.
It has been agreed that the owner of the account(s) will be compensated
with
Us$8.3 million of the remitted funds, we will keep us$31.125million, while
Us$2.075 million has been set aside to offset expenses and pay the necessary
taxes.
It may also interest you to know that two years ago similar transaction
was
carried out with one Mr. George Brooks of ( BROGE INTERNATIONAL TRADING
CORPORATION) at #135, east 57th street, 28TH floor, New York 10022 with
telephone (212)308-7788 and telex number 6731689,after the agreement between
both partners in which he was to take 25% the money was duly transferred
into his
account only to be disappointed on our arrival in new York as we were told
that
Mr. Brooks was no longer on that address, while his telephone number had
been
re-allocated to somebody else, that is how we lost our money to Mr. Brooks.
This time around we need a more reliable and trusted person or a reputed
company
to transact this project with hence this proposal to you, so if you can
prove
yourself to be trustworthy and ready to partake in this project then we
are prepared
to do business with you.
What we need from you is the assurance that you will let us have our share
after the transfer of the fund into your account.
If this proposal satisfies you, please contact me through this private email
address : a2bdulraman@netscape.net
so we can advice you on modalities of the transaction, and note that
all modalities has been worked out and once started will take two weeks
with the
absolute support of all concerned.
note that this transaction is 100% risk free and totally safe now or after
the
fund transfer to your account.
Please treat as urgent and confidential as I look forward to your reply.
Best Regards,
Mallam Abdul Raman
