Subject: very legal
Dearest,
I am Engr.AMOS ADAMU, the Chief Accountant Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) headquarters in Lagos, Nigeria. I reliably got your contact from Nigeria Chamber of Commerce. I have no reason to doubt your honesty and credibility hence I make this proposal to you. Please, treat with utmost confidence and excuse me for the embarrassment this letter might cause you as we have not met or known each other before.
I have the mandate of my colleagues in office to solicite for your assistance for a deal we want to execute. My Corporation (NNPC) awarded a contract of US$86,700,000.00 (Eight six Million, Seven hundred Thousand U.S Dollars) to a foreign firms to supply Rig & Drilling Equipment for Kaduna Refinery here in Nigeria, but because of my position, this contract was over invoiced to US$115,300,000.00 (One Hundred and Fifteen Million, Three Hundred Thousand United State Dollars). The original contract sum has been paid to the contractor that executed the project, now we are left with the over - invoice sum of US$28,600,000.00 (Twenty Eight Million,Six Hundred Thousand U.S Dollars Only).
All arrangments have been concluded on how this money would be moved. Our constraints lie on the fact that we required a foreign firm or individual account number where the money will paid into; whose owner will be portrayed as a contract beneficiary of fund. Infact this is why I am writting you this letter of proposal.
NOTE:- There is no risk involved as we have taken care and secure the loopholes covered. As a civil servant, we are aware that some financial assistance would be required to conclude this job, we are prepared to give as much as 30% of the total sum to whoever that is willing to assist, while 65% of the total sum will go for me and my colleagues.
To this effect, 5% would be earmarked to cover all the expenses (Local and International). This is because the process would pass through some Directors in the Ministry of Finance and Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN). These officers might require some tips to facilitate payment without delay since they are not aware of the deal.
Please, should you be willing to assist, we shall require the following information immediately to enable us put claim immediately. Your Bank Name, Address and Account Number, Fax number or the Bank where the money will be transfered into.
YOu would be required to meet face to face with the officials invloved. But should you not be in a position to assist, this deal has to remain a secret till the end of the time. It is important I mention that the officials involved in this transaction are top Government Functionaries who have put in years of services to this Country. For the maintenance of personal integrity and prestige of all persons involved in this transaction. You are implored to exhibit utmost secrecy throughout the duration of this transaction. You are strongly advise to aviod discussing this transaction with a third party as that could jeopardise the entire transaction.
You may open a seperate Bank Account in any Country for this purpose if you wish. All arrangements for this transfer for this first quarter payment for the year, 2005 has been properly organised and further action on onward payment awaits your immediate response. Hurry and send to me the details of your account number where the money will be transfer and remit into so that we can start to process for the approval of this payment.Also send your direct Phone & Fax number for more details as regards to this fund.
Note that both parties will enter into contract agreement
I look forward to hearing from you.
Best Regards,
Engr. Amos Adamu
