Subject: FROM ADU AKENZUA
From Enginee ADU AKENZUA
Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, (NNPC),
P.o. B.x 256 wuse2 Abuja,
Nigerian
Attn: Please
I am Engr. ADU AKENZUA, The Director of the Contractors Award and
Review
Department with the Nigerian national Petroleum Corporation (NNPC). I
am
contacting you on this business of transferring the sum of
US$23,615,000.00
(Twenty-three million, six hundred and fifteen thousand Unites States
Dollars
only) into a safe foreign account and the need is very urgent. I got
your
contact from the Nigerian Chambers of Commerce and it is with business
trust
that made me to contact you on this matter. I write to solicit for the
transfer
of this money into your account.
This money was generated from an over invoiced contract sum in my
corporation
(NNPC).
I am contacting you for your help and partnership for the following two
reasons:
1. As a civil servant, I am not permitted to own foreign accounts due
to civil
service code of conduct.
2. My present financial resources as a civil servant will not be
sufficient for
me to handle the transfer alone successfully without financial
assistance from
a reliable foreign partner abroad. 20% of this sum would be for you as
compensation for using your Bank account in transferring this money, 5%
would
be used to reimburse the expenses made by both parties during the
processing of
the transferring which include, telephone bills, traveling expenses and
fees.
While 75% is for me.
Please note that I will arrange to meet with you immediately after the
successful conclusion of the transfer, the 75% share of mine will be
used for
investment overseas. Your assistance and co-operation is highly needed.
I
assure you that this transaction is 100% risk free. If you are
interested I
will require your banking information as
mentioned below:
1. Name to be used as beneficiary
2. Your private and confidential telephone/fax number(s).
3. Your bank name and address, your bank telephone and fax number(s).
4. Or if you are not comfortable with providing your existing account,
you can
within the shortest possible time, confidentially open an entirely new
(Virgin)
account for the transaction. I would prefer this arrangement. I hope to
conclude this business within the next fourteen (14) working days.
Looking
forward to your anticipated and urgent positive response via this
e-mail box
Regards
ADU AKENZUA
