Attn: The Managing Director/Ceo
Dear Sir/Madam,
TRANSFER OF US$120 MILLION INTO YOUR ACCOUNT AND
SUBSEQUENT SHARING WITH YOU.
I Kayode Femi an Accountant and a member of
Contract Award Committee with Nigeria National
Petroleum Corporation (NNPC).
I got to know you and your address from our Chamber
Of Commerce and Industry directory and subsequently
wish to involve you in business to transfer money
into your bank account for our mutual benefits and the
above money is now in the Central Bank of
Nigeri(CBN)suspense account waiting for claim.
How we got this money (The Business): We are three
officials of the Nigeria National Petroleum
Corporation, who are in charge of Contract. In 2000
we awarded a contract to foreign contractor:
Snamprogetti Incorporation. For the Supply of
Petrochemical and Pipeline Equipment, 780,000 BPSD
Polypropylene and Installation of 950,000, Monax Axial
Flow Turbine for Port Harcourt Oil Refinery.
We inflated the cost of this contract, and by so
doing, we got a value of US$120 Million. We have
also successfully documented this amount under the
contract Number FGN/NNPC/02299C.B/2000. The project
has been commissioned and approved by the Federal
Government and the Original Contractor have received
their work value.
I and my officials in the said corporation (NNPC)
Have coherently agreed with the officials of the
Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to remit this over
inflated money into any reliable individual or
company's account overseas, who has to pose and
confidently obtain the money on our behalf. We need an
honest and trusted person or company, whose account we
can remit this amount totaling US$120 Million. To
achieve this, we need your banking particulars for the
immediate remittance of this money into your account
such as:
1) The name of your bank and address
2) Your account number and beneficiary name
3) The phone and fax numbers of your bank
4) Your full company name and address
5) Your private Phone and fax numbers
6) Your age and your residential address.
Other contractors have claimed their own money. As
You should know this is a deal, we cannot come
openly to claim this money directly. And moreover we
as civil servants cannot take up contracts nor operate
foreign accounts. This is why we write you to
assist us to remit this money into your account after
which we shall meet to share the money with you. Let
truth and honest be our watchword towards this deal,
your personality and interest is well protected. For
your assistance we have agreed to give you 30% of the
total sum to be remitted and 70% will be for us.
Keep this deal highly confidential until this money is
finally transferred into your account.
