STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL
FROM THE DESK OF
CHIEF DELD RASHEED
LAGOS, NIGERIA.
TRANSFER OF US$7.2 MILLION INTO YOUR ACCOUNT AND SUBSEQUENT SHARING WITH
YOU.
I, Chief Dele Rasheed an Accountant and a member of Contract Award Committee
with Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC).
I got to know you and your address from our Chamber Of Commerce and Industry
directory and subsequently wish to involve you in business to transfer money
into your bank account for our mutual benefits and the above money is now
in the Central Bank of Nigeri(CBN)suspense account waiting for claim.
How we got this money (The Business): We are three officials of the Nigeria
National Petroleum Corporation, who are in charge of Contract. In 2000
we awarded a contract to foreign contractor:
Snamprogetti Incorporation. For the Supply of Petrochemical and Pipeline
Equipment, 270,000 BPSD Polypropylene and Installation of 500,000, Monax
Axial Flow Turbine for Port Harcourt Oil Refinery.
We inflated the cost of this contract, and by so doing, we
got a value of US$7.2 Million. We have also successfully documented this
amount under the contract Number FGN/NNPC/02299C.B/2000. The project has
been commissioned and approved by the Federal Government and the Original
Contractor have received their work value.
I and my officials in the said corporation (NNPC) Have coherently agreed
with the officials of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to remit this over
inflated money into any reliable individual or
company's account overseas, who has to pose and confidently
obtain the money on our behalf. We need an honest and trusted person or
company, whose account we can remit this amount totaling US$35 Million.
To achieve this, we need your banking particulars for the immediate remittance
of this money into your account such as:
1) The name of your bank and address
2) Your account number and beneficiary name
3) The phone and fax numbers of your bank
4) Your private Phone and fax numbers
Other contractors have claimed their own money. As You should know this
is a deal, we cannot come openly to claim this money directly. And moreover
we as civil servants cannot take up contracts nor operate foreign accounts.
This is why we write you to assist us to remit this money into your account
after which we shall meet to share the money with you. Let truth and honest
be our watchword towards this deal, your personality and interest is well
protected.
For your assistance we have agreed to give you 25% of the total sum to be
remitted and 75% will be for us. Keep this deal highly confidential until
this money is finally transferred into your account.
We look forward to receiving your positive reply through my email address
below immediately.
While waiting your anticipated co-operation.
Best Regards,
CHIEF DELE RASHEED.
STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL
