sDear Sir,
REQUEST FOR URGENT CONFIDENTIAL BUSINESS PROPOSAL
After due deliberation with my colleagues, I decided
to forward this proposal. We want a reliable person
who could assist us to transfer the sum of Fifteen
Million United States Dollars (US$15,000,000.00) into
your account. This fund resulted from an
over-invoiced bill from contract awarded under the
budget allocation to my ministry and the bill was
approved for payment by the concerned Ministries.
The contract has been executed, commissioned and the
contractor was paid the actual cost of the contract.
We are left with the balance of $15,000,000.00 as part
of the over-invoiced amount,which we have deliberately
over estimated, for our own. I am contacting you to be
our custodan for this fund. (1.) 25% for you (Account
Owner)(2.) 70% for us (3.)5% for Tax, as may required
by our Government and yours.
As you may want to know and to make you less curious,
I got your address from adverts, in business directory
that protrayed your establishment in good light. I am
the Secretary of the Contract Awarding Committee
(CAC)of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation
(NNPC). This transaction is very much free from all
sorts of RISK and TROUBLE from my Government. We have
been exercising patience for this opportunity for so
long and to most of us this is a life time opportunity
we cannot affford to miss.
To get this fund paid into your account, we have to
present a Payment Invoice from a foreign establishment
like yours. With this invoice, we will seek approval
to transfer the fund within 14 banking days through
the APEX BANK (CBN) to your designatd Bank Account.
I and one of my colleague involved in this deal will
come to your country to arrange for our share upon the
confirmation from you that the money has been credited
into your nominated Bank Account. Consequently upon
your acceptance of my proposal, kindly confirm your
interest by email to me through my
e-mail:(ndu_christ2003@yahoo.co.uk) your indication by mailing
to me of your sincere and serious interest will enable
me fax you the procedure for the claim.
It will surprise you why we choose you and trusted you
for this transaction. Yes, we believe that good
friends can be discovered and business like this
cannot be realized without trust. This is why we have
decided to trust you for this transaction.
I guarantee you that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement
that will protect you and us from any breach of the law and every clearing
document needed on this transaction is ready,so what we only require from
honesty and willingness to co-operate on this matter.
