DEAR FRIEND,
I am COMFORT OLU the financial controller of Nigeria National Petroleum
corporation (NNPC) and by virtue as a director in the NNPC Lagos, I got
your
contact address from an associate working with the Nigeria export promotion
council and I decided to propose to you this business in strict confidence.
Purpose: on behalf of myself and my colleagues who are ministerial officers
and the other officer in charge of off-shore remittance in this corporation,
we are seeking your assistance for the transfer of nine million united state
dollars ($9,000,000.00) to your account for further private investment.
Hence our request for your assistance.
Source of Fund : this amount to be transferred into your account accured
from an over-invoiced contract amount for the construction of an oil
refinery sub-station in Nigeria (northern region) in 2003 to an expatriate
company. The contract which was originally valued for one hundred million
U.S dollars was manipulated to read one hundred and nine million U.S
dollars. The extra $9 Million US dollars is what we want to transfer to
your
account.
This contract has been completely executed and the contractor had been paid
their entire contract sum remaining US$9,000,000.00. Requirement: what we
expect from you in your reply are:
A. Your name and contact address, your phone and fax numbers for easy
communication.

number for submission to the ministries as to where this money will be
lodged.
C. You shall arrange for us to meet with you immediately after the money
had
been remitted into your account.
Disbursement:We have resolved that you take 30% of the total amount for
your
assistance because it is impossible for us to claim the over invoiced money
here in Nigeria without your assistance in addition
10% has been mapped out for any miscellaneous expenses incurred by you and
us during the business and 60% is for my colleagues and myself.
Security: all modalities to effect the payment and subsequent transfer of
this money have been worked out. So, this transaction is 100% risk free.
Though, you are required to treat this business with strict confidence.
I await your immediate response through my e-mail address above send me
your
confidential fax and phone for speedy correspondence. I will highly
appreciate if you treat this business with strict confidence for security
reasons.Please send a copy to my alternative email(comfortolu1@yahoo.de)
