Dear Friend,
I guess my letter would not embarrass you since I had no previous
correspondence with you. I got your
contact e-mail address via the Internet and I decided to contact you for
assistance. My request however
centers on mutual collaboration and your unflinching support to
confidentially setup a joint business
outfit in your country. I hope I would not regret approaching you because;
the present world is full of
dishonesty and mistrust.
I am Mr. Jack Daniel, the project accountant and member of contract award
committee of the Nigeria
National Petroleum Co-operation (NNPC). In 2002 my cooperation awarded
contracts for refurbishing of
petrochemical complex at Eleme, supply and installation for rigging and
drilling equipment, repainting of Warri and Port Harcourt refineries and
turn around maintenance (TAM). To a consortium of
CHIYODA SEPIEBATGROLES FOUGEROLLE AND BOUYGUES for USD$420,000,000.00,But as
members of the contracts
award committee, we masterminded the over-invoicing of the contract value to
USD$470,000,000.00. Last year
the contractors received part of their payments, but now, they are receiving
the balance of their payments.
We require an honest and trustworthy person like you, who will not betray
our trust to co-operate and allow
the use of your Individual or company account to transfer out the balance of
over-invoice sum, because
we were betrayed and cheated last year.
The total sum over-invoiced was USD$50Million but last year as the
contractors were receiving their part
payment, we entered into an agreement with one Mr. ANTONIO ABACCI an Italian
and president of Ruggerini
Motori SPA of 42100 Villa Bago Reggio Emillia to use his account number with
first Pacific Bank Limited of
57059 Chalhan. The first installment of USD$20m was dully transferred and we
agreed that at the completion
of the transfer he would retain 20% of the total fund, while 75% will be for
us who put the project together, 5% was to be used to offset all
the transfer expenses incurred including his bank charges, but out of greed,
Mr. ABACCI betrayed the
trust. He re-transferred out the fund to an unknown account and has refused
to get in touch with us. We
have however left his conscience to be the judged.
To be frank, we do not wish to fall second time victims, Hence we want to
bestow this trust on you,
and it is our sincere wish that you do not betray it. The balance of
USD$30Million(Thirty Million United
States Dollars only) is what we have now left and because of the bad
experiences we had last year, we
have resolved to enter into a joint business where by the parties will
primarily establish and incorporate a
company here in Nigeria since We as civil servants have been mandated by law
not to maintain or have
foreign account while still in active service for our Government. In order
to apply formally for payment
claims approvals on your behalf, we require your company name and bank
details, where the funds will be
remitted to and also your private telephone and fax numbers for effective
communication.
It is however note-worthy that this business is extremely sensitive and must
be kept confidential.
Please note that remittance of the funds would be effective between 12-16
days on receipt of your bank
details. However, do endeavor to reply me if your capability does not meet
up our proposal, so that I
can seek assistance and business negotiations with another
Company/Individual.
Please reply only to my private e-mail address: jack60@o2.pl
Regards,
Mr. Jack Daniel.
