ATTN:
PERMITION TO REMIT MONEY IN TO YOUR PRIVATE OR COMPANY ACCOUNT.
It is my pleasure to write and inform you of a transaction involving the
transfer of US100,000,000.00 ( One hundred million US dollars)only into
a foreign account for safekeeping pending my arrival with my colleagues
for the sharing with you as the account owner into which the money is remitted.
We will start the first transfer with twenty six million [$26,000.000] uponsuccessfull
transaction without any disappointment from your side, we shall re-apply
for the payment of the remaining amount to your account.
I am an accountant with the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation(NNPC),Lagos
and this money originated from over-invoiced contract executed forthe corporation
some years back. This contract has long been completed by a foreign firm
and the contractor duly paid. I now seek if you would permit the surplus
to be remitted into your account. As a matter of fact, we are top government
officials and we cannot come out
openly to claim this amount. This is why we are looking for a competent
and honest company or individual abroad whose documents would be tendered
by us here in Nigeria as one of the contractors that executed the project.
However, I would wish to receive your personal assurance that you would
not sit on the money when it goes into your account. More importantly, you
keep confidential this transaction, in order not to tarnish the confidence
repose in the officials involved in this transaction. To effect
this transfer, I therefore requestthe following:
YOUR ACCOUNT NUMBER, THE NAME OF YOUR BANK. WHERE THE MONEY WOULD BE TRANSFERRED
INTO AND ALSO YOUR PRIVATE FAX AND TELEPHONE NUMBERS FOR QUICK COMMUNICATION.
So far, after due consultations, you were strongly and reliably recommended
to us although we have not met or entered into any kind of contract with
you before as to know the extent of your honesty, but based on the recommendations,
I personally want to believe that you are honest enough and would not sit
on the money if finally got into your account. It is on this note that
I consider it proper to write you asking for your permission and support
to transfer this amount into your account.
You should not fear any risk because we have concluded arrangement to
save guide you in the transaction. This business is 100% risk free.
Hence it requires high level of confidence and secrecy. Meanwhile this
is the breakdown of the sharing modalities:
(A). 10% WILL BE USED TO SETTLE TRANSFER CHARGES AND LEGAL PROTOCOLS.
(B). 30% IS FOR USING YOUR ACCOUNT.
(C). 60% OF IT WILL BE FOR US THE ORIGINATORS. Be informed that on completion
of this business I will use part of my money to invest in your country
under your care.
Please note that the transfer operation will take seven to ten working days
to be completed. Please contact me by the above private EMAIL: drmusamalik@echina.com
Thanks.
DR MUSA MALIK.
