The information we gathered from the Foreign Office ofthe Nigeria Chambers
of Commerce and Industries is so positive as to convince us that you could
provide us with solution to a money transfer deal valued at Thirty One
Million United States Dollars and subsequently a joint business venture.In
the course of ourduties as values, and project inspectors for the on-going
liquefied Natural Gas(LNG) project, we have over-invoiced the value of some
jobs done by foreign contractors for the NNPC to the tune of US$31M.As
follows:Computer optimization and Installation $16,000.000.00 Installation
of 250,000.00,Monax turbine $10,000.000.00,Turn round Maintenance
$5,000,000.00 Our aim of over-invoicing this payment is to divert the excess
amount to a discrete account abroad.This fund is now floating in suspense
account at the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).
This is the fund my myself and colleagues have decided to transfer into your
account since we, as civil servants are not allowed to operate or own
foreign account.The money will be shared as follows after transfer : 30% for
you (Account Owner) 60% for me and my colleagues,10% for reimbursement for
both local and international expenses that Would be incurred in the course
of this transaction. To be able to claim the funds, we will be purporting
your name and a company name to be the original contractor/ beneficiary of
the funds so that all procedures for international transfer shall be
strictly followed,as we have worked out all modalities for a swift and
riskfree transfer.
If this proposal satisfies you, please contact me through
dr_zakaka@excite.com, with the following mportant information.Your Bank
Name / Address Account Name ,Account NumberTel/Fax Telex of Bank,with your
Personal Phone/Fax Numbers for easy communication. This transaction will
last for 7 working days from the time we submit the required information,as
