I got your e-mail address through an internet marketing firm while searching
for a reliable and reputable person to handle this transaction,which involves
the transfer of the sum of thirty-five million United States dollars to a
reliable account abroad. Your role became paramount due to the fact that
there are lots of restrictions binding civil servants here and we are not
allowed to operate foreign accounts.
This amount was secured from excess oil sales from Nigeria crude oil.The
sum of $1.2 billion oil windfall was released by the NNPC and shell petroleum
development company for the month of August 2002 by The Organisation of Petroleum
Exporting Countries (OPEC). Crude oil price was peg at $22.00 per barrel
and fortunately for oil producing countries like Nigeria, there was rises
in oil price to about $27.00 and $28.00 per barrel and as a result there
was excess oil sales and I believe you would be aware of this rise in Oil
price in last two years. Out of this $1.2 billion excess oil funds, my colleagues
and myself Because of our position in the NNPC and shell Petroleum Development
Company diverted the sum of thirty-five million United state dollars we want
to transfer into your account, which is in the excess crude oil sales.

for the transfer of these thirty-five Million us dollar into your account
