Dear Sir,
I am Dr.Tom Musa, Director, project implementation with (N.N.P.C)Nigeria National Petrolum Co-opration and a member of the Contract Tenders Board (CTB) of the above corporation.
Your esteemed address was reliably introduced to me at the Africa
Chamber of Commerce and Industry in my search for a reliable individual
company who can handle a strictly confidential transaction,which
involves the transfer of a reasonable sum of money to a foreign account.
This amount of money is total sum of US$13,500,000.00 (Thirteen
Million,Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars), already extracted
from various contracts awarded by my corporation. As a result of over
invoicing masterminded by the concerned officials, has been drafted to
represent final payment for a contract that has been executed to the corporation some years back.
The money is now floating in the suspense account of my coporation(NNPC) awaiting claim by Foreign Partner which status we now want you to assume.
Now is the optimum period to consummate this transaction.Following the
presidential directive to all parastatals to settle all outstanding debts owed to both local and foreign contractors. In my last meeting with the officials involved, it was unanimously agreed that 25% of the total sum will be given to you 70% will be for my colleague, and me While 5% will he used to reimburse the expenses that may be incurred in the processing of the transfer.
I assure you the transaction is 100% risk free as we have concluded
every arrangement to protect the interest of every one
involved.Likewise, all modalities for the successful transfer of this money have been worked out with the Federal Ministry of Finance and the Bank to facilitate the remittance of this money to your designated account.
However I would want to believe that you are honest enough and will not
raise any misgiving attitude in any aspect of the transaction,more
importantly, you will keep this transaction very confidential so as not to
tarnish the confidence reposed on these officials by the Government of
Nigeria.
lf this business proposal is of interest to you, then kindly contact me
via EMAIL:tommusa3@teenmail.co.za
Meanwhile, your immediate response will be highly appreciated. Please
treat this information as confidential.
Best regards,
Engnr.Tom Musa.
