Subject: Business proposal
ATT:Sir
l am interested in doing business with you sir want to invest heavily in
your country and some other country in your near by country i am the
director of PPMC petroleum premium marketing company, a subsidiary of NNPC
here in my country my office is in charge of selling crude oil to foreign
company that come's to buy oil, But before l proceed to do this business
with you please sir l want you to know that this is not a scam or joke or
anyway related to any internet fraud once you are interested we will go
offline and start relating with each other through phone and fax messages.
This foreign company that come to but oil, we register them with the
government and give them the license to lift oil product we are also acting
as intermediary to buyer of petrol product in the whole sub region. l want
you to know that this is not a scam at all like l have said before as l will
want you to make enquiry from my country about my official have to beg you
for secrecy as regards what you are about to hear, due to the power bestow
on my office have use this office to enrich myself to the turn of over
US$50,000,000:00(FIFTY MILLION US DOLLARS ONLY).
I got this funds as a result of the resent rise in oil price's
internationally, for every barrel of oil sold in my country l am making 30
cent and for over the period of 2 months that was how l made the money, but
the problem am having now, is to get this money out of my country because as
a civil servant l can not do so, what l wanted from you is to provide an
account and bank name and address where in we will transfer this funds to
and your company name and address, with the information you will supply l
will register you under PPMC as a contractor whom did contract with the PPMC
and that this money is your contract entitlement and l will do all the paper
work to cover up the transfer making it looks as if you have done a real
contract for the PPMC.
Once this is done then the money will be approved and transfer to your
account nominated account.
