Dear freind,
your contact was discretely sourced from among others with respect to your
position as an international acclaimed personality, and we decided in your
favour as our partner for this business proposal bearing in mind that you
are of an oustanding reputation to usher you in as the beneficiary. However,
I repose every confidence in you concerning your status by virtue of its
nature as being utterly confidential and with the belief that you could
be fully trusted to handle this business with the degree of confidence it
deserves.
I AM DR. USMAN BELLO an Audit Manager with the FEDERAL MINISTRY OF PETROLEUM
& NATURAL RESOURCES under the contract tender committee. My colleagues and
I in the corporation need the services/assistance of a competent, trustworthy
and reputable foreigner or company into whose account the sum of US $30,000,000.
(Thirty Million United States Dollars) would be remitted before the Deregulation
of the Oil sector. This fund originatedfrom a delibrate over-estimation
of contracts that awarded by the ministry to foreign companies for drilling,
excavation and spot lifting of black gold (Crude Oil) in Portnovo located
in the tiny Republic of Benin.
Since they are not menbers of the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries,
they requested for our Ministry (Federal Ministry of Petroleum & Natural
Resources) assistance. This fund has been lying unclaimed at the Accounts
Department of the Ministry because it has neither a beneficiary nor any
file with the corporation. It is within this framework, that we have resolved
to usher you in as the beneficiary of this fund by legally subcontracting
the entitlement to you or your company based on agreement with you.
Moreover, the need to contact you or your company is deemed fit because
the contract was executed by foreign firms and the money cannot go into
indigenous accounts because the Code of Conduct (COC) of the Federal Civil
Service here (Nigeria) restricts us to a certain level of banking facilities
which does not allow us to operate a Domiciliary account. However, it is
imperative to usher you in as a foreign partner so as to avoid suspicion
from unconcerned quarters and most importantly, for fear of loosing our
obs.
Meanwhile, the original contractors of this projects had since collected
their suppsoed payments accordingly after the acommissioning of their works.
Now, we want to remit this over-estimated amount to a reliable overseas
account for our personal use and for investment opportunities. All the certificates
and proper documentation to efect the transfer shall be provided to you
for your perusal upon your pledge to do this business with us.
Subsequently, your support will enable us make applications and lodge claims
to the Ministry's Agencies enabling you to fit inas the beneficiary for
the claims. Please, be infored that this business is closely knitted and
100% hitch free and so entails absolute confidentiality and in case you
are not interested to assist, keep it to yourself. Your quick response upon
your Expression Of Interst (EOI) will enable me stop futher search for a
beneficiary.
For further briefing on how to commence this transaction. I look forward
to hear from you and your cooperation would be highly acknowledged.and
also you e mail me true this {zavik_effike@yahoo.ca}
Best regards,
DR. USMAN BELLO
