URGENT ATTENTION.
Sir,/ madam
I am Dr.ORJI RICHARD, Chairman of Contract Award and Verification
Panel set up by the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation/ International
Oil Producing Countries. I got yourcontact from the net during my personal
search, after thorough
deliberations, my colleagues and I decided to contact you for a very
confidential and profitable business transaction of mutual benefit.
During our verification exercise, we came across an over-invoiced
contract (Contract No: NNPC/PED/1473/2003). This contract was awarded in
July,2000 and completed in August, 2002, and the original contractor
has since been paid his contract sum leaving the over-invoiced sum of
US$35.5m(Thirty- Five Million, Five Hundred Thousand United States
Dollars) This amount have been left floating in our account with the
federation bank, until our recent discovery.
My colleagues and I have decided to seek for the assistance of a
reliable foreign partner into whose account the fund will be
transferred into for our own use. If this proposal is acceptable to
you, a Deed of Transfer of the above contract will be obtained on
your behalf, to empower you as the legal beneficiary of the contract
and the sum to be transferred. All necessary and relevant documents
will be procured for the release and transfer of the fund into your
nominated account.
An application for foreign exchange allocation will be made on your
behalf from my office to the federal ministry of finance (FMF) and
the federation bank for the subsequent release and transfer of the
fund into your nominated account. Be informed that we are working in
collaboration with top officials of the federal ministry of finance
and the federation bank, which will assist us in the transfer of the
fund. With your cooperation the success of this transaction is
guaranteed.
We have agreed to compensate you with 30%of the total sum, 60% will
be for me and my colleagues here, while the remaining 10% have been
mapped-out for miscellaneous expenses that might be incurred by both
parties during the course of this transaction. All things being
equal, this transaction will be concluded within 6 working days upon
the day of receipt of your response. You are required to email us
your nominated bank account details and your direct telephone and fax
numbers. Please treat this transaction with top priority and remember
to keep it as confidential as possible.
As soon as we receive your response by telephone call or through my
email-drorjirichard@yahoo.co.uk
more details about how to proceed will be given to you.
Best Regards,
Dr. ORJI RICHARD.
