Subject: REQUEST FOR URGENT CONFIDENTIAL BUSINESS PROPOSAL
Dear Friend,
REQUEST FOR URGENT CONFIDENTIAL BUSINESS
PROPOSAL
After due deliberation with my colleagues, I decided to
forward this proposal. We want a reliable person who could
assist us to transfer the sum of Thirty Million United
States Dollars (US$30,000,000.00) into your account.
This fund resulted from an over-invoced bill from contract
awarded by us under the budget allocation to my ministry and
the bill was approved for payment by the concerned
ministries. The contract has been executed, commissioned and
the contractor was paid the actual cost of the contract. we
are left with the balance of US$30,000,000.00 as part of the
over-invoiced amount, which we have deliberately over
estimated, for our own I am contacting you to be our
custodian for this fund.
1. 20% for you (Account Owner)
2. 70% for us
3. 10% for Tax, as may required by our Government and yours.
As you may want to know and to make you less curious,I got
your address from adverts, in business directory that
protrayed your establishment in good light. I am the
Secretary of the Contract Awarding Committee (CAC)of the
Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC). This
transaction is very much free from all sorts of RISK and
TROUBLE from my Government.
We have been exercising patience for this opportunity for so
long and to most of us this is a life time opportunity we
cannot affford to miss. To get this fund paid into your
account, we have to present a Payment Invoice from a foreign
establishment like yours. With this invoice, we will seek
approval to transfer the fund within 14 banking days through
the APEX BANK to your designatd Bank Account.
I and one of my colleague involved in this deal will come to
your country to arrange for our share upon the confirmation
from you that the money has been credited into your
nominated Bank Account. Consequently upon your acceptance of
my proposal,kindly confirm your interest by revert mail to
the above e/mail address It will surprise you why we choose
you and trusted you for this transaction. Yes, we believe
that good friends can be discovered and business like this
cannot be realized without trust. This is why we have
decided to trust you for this transaction. we are looking
forward to doing this transaction with you.
Be further informed that everyone's interest and security
had been considered before you were contacted. So be rest
assured and feel free to go into this transaction with us.
But let honesty be our watch word throughout this
transaction and your prompt reply will be highly
appreciated.
Best regards,
Dr.John Ebere.
