Subject: FROM FRED KELLY !!!

IKOYI LAGOS - NIGERIA.
Hello My Dear Friend ,
I am DR.FRED KELLY OKECHUKWU an accountant in the Nigeria national petroleum
Corporation (NNPC) and a member of five-man tender board in charge of
contract review and payment approvals came to know of you in my searching
for a reliable person to handle a very confidential transaction, which
involves the transfer of a huge sum of money to a foreign account.
There were series of contracts executed by a consortium of multinational in
the oil industry in favor of NNPC among which were;
(1) The extension of the pipeline network within Nigeria for crude oil,
downs stream product distribution and subsequent evacuation US$195 million
2) Contract for the turn around maintenance (T.A.M) of the various
refineries in the country US$ 152 million.
(3) The construction of storage tanks for petroleum product (DEPOTS - US$240
million.
The original values of these contracts were deliberately over-invoiced by
the sum of US$45,000,000,00, which has been approved and is now ready to be
transferred being that the companies that actually executed these contracts
have been fully paid and the projects officially
commissioned.
Consequently, I and my colleagues in the Account Dept. need your assistance
to file claim for this floating amount to be transferred to your account for
our mutual benefit, since we are civil servants and are prohibited by the
code of conduct bureau, (civil service law), from opening /operating foreign
accounts, I and my colleagues are willing to invest our share of the money
in due course. Needless to say, the trust reposed on you at this juncture is
enormous. Therefore, in return, we have agreed to offer you 10% or USD4,
500, 000 of the sum as compensation. We mandate you
to draft an investment plan for us, which you will control since we can't
bring our shares back to
Nigeria. Meanwhile, please note that this transaction is subject to
following terms and conditions:
(1) our conviction of your transparent honesty and diligence.
(2) That you will handle this transaction with utmost confidentiality it
requires.
(3) That the funds would be transferred to an account overwhich you have
absolute control.
All modalities have been worked out at the highest levels of the Presidency
and the Central bank of Nigeria for the immediate transfer of the funds.
If you are capable of doing the transaction with us,kindly contact me as
soon as possible ,Include your phone and fax numbers for easy communication
in future.
Thanks for your cooperation.
Yours Faithfully,
DR.FRED.KELLY. OKECHUKWU
CHIEF ACCOUNT NNPC.
