Subject: Greetings
FROM THE DESK OF DR FRED OKOH.
Dear Hello,
I know this mail may come as surprise to you,since we do not know ourselves
or have any previous contact before now,my purpose of writting you is this.
We believe that you would be in a position to help us in our bid to transfer
the sum of TWENTY-EIGHT MILLION FIVE HUNFRED THOUSAND DOLLARS ($28.5m)into a
foreign account.
We are members of a special committee for budget and planning of the
ministry of petroleum,this committee is principally concern with contract
appraisals and approvals in order of priorities as regards capital project
of the federal governmentof Nigeria.
With our positions,we have successfully secured for ourselves the sum of
twenty-one million five hundred thousand united state dollars ($28.5m).
The present government in my country are seeking the surport of foreign
government,so they gave directive to all federal parastatals to compile and
settle all foreign contractors being owedfor contract that has been
executed,so our plan is to include the name that you will provide us,as one
of the contractors being owed in my corporation,the nigerian national
petroleum corporation (NNPC)
What we need from you is:-
(1)a company name or a name of which to use as the company that did execute
the contract
(2)an account even if empty into which the fund will be transfered into,this
is because our code ofconduct prohibit government officials from operating
or owning foreign account.
It has been agreed that the owner of the account will be compensated with
20% of the remitted funds,we will keep 75%,while 5% has been set aside to
offset expenses and pay the necessary taxes.
It may also interest you to know that two years ago similar transaction was
carried out with one
Mr George Brooks of ( BROGE INTERNATIONAL TRADING CORPORATION) at number
135, east 57th street,28TH floor,new york 10022 with telephone
(212)308-7788 and telex number 6731689,after the agreement between both
partners in which he was to take 20% of the remitted fund (fifteen million
united state dollars $15.000.000.)was duly transferd into his account only
to be disappointed on our arrival in new york as we were told that Mr Brooks
was no longer on that address,while his telephone number had been
re-allocated to somebody else,that is how we lost our money to Mr Brooks.
This time around we need a more reliable and trusted person or a reputed
company to transact this project with hence this proposal to you,so if you
can prove yourself to be trustworthy ready to partake in this project then
we are prepare to do business with you.
What we need from you is the assurance that you will let us have our share
after the transfer of the fund($28.5million)into your account.
If this proposal satisfies you,please contact me through this private email
address so we can advice you on modalities of the transaction,and note that
all modalities has been worked out and once started will take two weeks with
the absolute support of all concerned.
Note that this transaction is 100% risk free and totally safe now or after
the fund transfer to your account.
Please treat as urgent and confidential as i look forward to your reply.
Best Regards
Dr Frederick Okoh
