PERMISSION TO REMIT US $21 MILLION INTO YOUR COMPANY OR PRIVATE ACCOUNT.
It is my pleasure to write and inform you of a transaction involving the
transfer of US21,000,000.00 (Twenty Five 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.
I am an accountant with the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC),Lagos
and this money originated from over-invoiced contract executed for the 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 fora 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.
Most importantly, you keep this transaction confidential, in order not to
tarnish the confidence repose in the officials involved in this transaction.
To effect this transfer, I therefore request the following:
YOUR ACCOUNT NUMBER,
THE NAME OF YOUR BANK. WHERE THE MONEY WOULD BE TRANSFERRED INTO.
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 confidentiality 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.
I look forward for your response.
Thanks.
Dr.Williams Eze
