Dear Sir,
I pray this mail finds you in good health.
Please,pay attention to the contents of this mail.
I represent members of the Contract Tender Committee appointed by the Federal
Government of Nigeria for Contract Award/Payment Approvals in the Nigerian
National Petroleum Corporation(NNPC).Our duties include among other things
Evalution,Reviewing & Payment Approval of Contracts within the NNPC.
On thursday,the 5th of December,2002,this Committee Awarded a Contract,valued
at $610 Million United States Dollars to the Consortium of Abblummus Construction
Ltd,J.G.C.Corporation of Japan and a joint venture of Spiebatignoles and
Fouguerolle,for a turn around maintenance and repairs of the three major
Refineries in Nigeria which have been totally dilapidated and malfunctioning
since 1995.
However,my colleagues and I decided to over-inflate the Contract Sum to the
tune of $640 Million U S Dollars with the intention of benefiting from the
windfall of $30 Million U S Dollars at the end.
The Federal Government has recently approved the total Contract Value as
recomended by our Committee.The sum of $320 Million U S D,being the half
of the Contract Sum has also been approved as initial payment to the Companies
concerned,this payment will serve as mobilisation fees to the Contractors
to enable them start work.The other half of the Contract value will be paid
at the completion of Contract or as the Contract progresses.
As we prepare to disburse this fund to the Contractors and since each of
the Companies will only benefit from the $310 Million U S Dollars,due to
them as originally appraised,we wish to apply the remaining vote of U S Dollars
$15 Million to you as a Subcontractor.This way,we can safely authorize for
the transfer of the $15 Million U S Dollars to your account overseas.But
we need a strong assurance that the money will be safe in your hands.
My colleagues and I have resolved that,should you agree to front as the beneficiary
of this fund of $15 Million U S Dollars now available to us,we will reward
you with 30% of the total fund transfered to your account.60% will be for
us,and 10% will be reserved to offset any bill or expenses possibly to be
incured by both sides during the course of the transaction.This ratio shall
also apply on the second instalment of $15 Million U S Dollars which will
come immediately after this one has been pulled over.
It may intrest you to know that 3 years ago,a similar deal was carried with
one Mr.Ted Miller,the president of Craine International Trading Corporation,whose
last known address was 135 East 57th Street,New York N/Y 10022,United States
of America,with telephone number(212)308-7788 and telex number 6731689.
We both reached an agreement that he will earn 20% of the Fund to be transfered
to his account.But sadly enough,Mr.Miller disappeared when he saw that all
the required documents have been signed and the money duly transfered into
his account.We were only disappointed on our arrival in New York when we
anguishly discovered that Mr.Ted Miller was no longer at the address we knew
him to be,as his telephone and fax numbers was no longer functional.Efforts
to trace him remained abortive till today.That was how we lost $27 Million
U S D to Mr.Ted Miller.
This time around,we need a strong assurance that you will not double-cross
as Mr.Miller did.We would prefer,should you agree that the fund is wired
to a reputable Company's account.This is the reason of my letter to you.
Please be informed that the personalities involved in this transaction are
top and influential Government Functionaries who would not like any stain
or exposure and as such would want you to keep this business top Secret and
Confidential.
Relpy immediately.
Regards,
Dr.Emmanuel.
