Dear Friend,
REQUEST FOR URGENT MUTUAL BUSINESS TRANSACTION.
Although this proposal might come to you as a surprise
since it is coming from someone you don't know or ever
seen before, but after due deliberation with my
colleagues, we have decided to forward this business
proposal to you. We want a reliable person who would
assist us to transfer the sum of USD$30Million (Thirty
million United States Dollars)into his or her
nominated bank Account.
This fund resulted from an over-invoiced bill from
contract awarded by us under the budget allocation to
my organization{NNPC}of Turn Around Maintainace and
the bill was approved for payment by the appropriate
authorities.
The contract was executed, commissioned and the
contractor was duly paid his full cost of the contract
as stipulated in the contract agreement leaving behind
the USD$30M.
as an over-invoiced for us as agreed.
Therefore, the over-invoiced Amount of USD$30M which
we have deliberately over estimated for our own use is
what we need your assistance for transfer and for our
mutual benefits.
Due to the civil services code of conduct here in
Nigeria, civil servants are not allowed to operate or
own foreign account.
This is why we are contacting you for assistance in
this regard.
We have agreed to share the money as fo{1llows.
1}. 20% for your assistance/account
2.} 70% for US,
{3.} 10% for taxes/expenses, as may be required by
your Government and ours. As you may want to know and
make you less curious, I got your address from a
reputable Large chamber of commerce and industry and I
am the executive chairman of the contract Award
committee of the Nigerian National Petroleum
Corporation(NNPC).
This transaction is very much free from all sort of
risk hence this business was carefully planned before
it was successfully executed and we the NNPC officials
involved in this deal have put in many years of
meritorious service to our organization and they wish
to retire and start a new life with their of this
transaction.
We have been exercising patience for this opportunity
for so long and for most of us this is a life time
opportunity we cannot afford to miss.

an international business outfit and consequent upon
indication of your interest to fully assist us in this
transaction, you are required to furnish us with the
followings.

the fund from the concerned quarters within three to

Corporation (NNPC) payment information data will be
faxed immediately to you for completion.
Myself and our lawyer involved in this deal will come
to your country to arrange for our shares upon
confirmation from you that the money has been credited
into your nominated bank account.
All these will only take us about {14}Fourteen working
days to transfer this fund into your account from the
day we receive the requested information from you.

matter.Honesty and your ability to keep this
transaction highly confidential/secret and keep our
