Subject: business deal
From:Mr.Peter Kekerekun
Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation( N.N.P.C.)
Falomo Office Complex.P.M.B 1122
Ikoyi - Lagos,
Nigeria
Attn:President/Ceo.
STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL BUSINESS PROPOSAL RE: TRANSFER OF US$21.5 MILLION (
TWENTY ONE MILLION, FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND US DOLLARS ONLY).
I know this email will reach you as a surprise, but need not to worry as we are using the only secured and
confidential medium available to seek for foreign assistance/partnership in a business transaction which
is of mutual benefit.
I am a member of the Federal Government of Nigeria Contract Award and Monitoring Committee in the
Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC). Sometime ago, a contract was awarded to a foreign firm
in NNPC by my Committee.
This contract was over invoiced to the tune of US$21.5M. U. S. Dollars. This was done deliberately. The
over-invoicing was a deal by my committee to benefit from the project. We now want to transfer this
money which is in a suspense Account with NNPC into any Overseas Account which we expect you to
provide for us.
SHARE: -
For providing the account where we shall remit the money into, you will be entitled to 30% of the money,
60% will be for me and my partners while 10% has been mapped out from the total sum to cover any
expenses that may be incurred by us during the course of this transfer, both locally and international
expenses.
I would require your cell and office telephone numbers in order for me to give you more details.
It does not matter whether or not your company does contract projects of this nature described here. The
assumption is that your company won the major contract and subcontracted it out to other companies.
More often than not, big trading companies or firms of unrelated fields win major contracts and
subcontracts to more specialized firms for execution of such contracts.
We have strong reliable connections and contacts at the Central Bank of Nigeria, as well as the Federal
Ministry of Finance and we have no doubt that all the money will be released and transferred if we get
the necessary foreign partner to assist us in this deal.
Therefore, when the business is successfully concluded we shall through our same connections
withdraw all documents used from all the concerned Government Ministries for 100% security.
We are ordinary Government workers and we will not want to miss this once in a lifetime opportunity to
get rich. We want this money to be transferred to the overseas Accounts for us as soon as possible.
Please contact me immediately through my email address whether or not you are interested in this deal. If
you are not, it will enable me scout for another foreign partner to carry out this deal.
But where you are interested,send your telephone numbers through my confidential email address as time
is of the essence in this business. expectation@k.ro
I wait in anticipation of your fullest co-operation.
Yours faithfully,
Peter Kekerekun
Emaill: expectation@k.ro
