Subject: BUSINESS PROPOSAL
NIGERIAN NATIONAL PETROLEUM CORPORATION
CONTRACT AWARD AND MONITORING COMMITTEE
P.M.B 1274 FALOMO, LAGOS NIGERIA.
>From the Desk of: DR.Alebiri Ebimobo
Account Dept. C.A.M.C.
E-mail: ebimobo2@hotmail.com
Date: 14 October 2005
Attention:
BUSINESS PROPOSAL: STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL
I am DR.Alebiri Ebimobo, Chief Accountant to the Contract Award and
Monitoring Committee (C.A.M.C) in the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation
(NNPC).
Sometimes in 1990, my committee awarded a contract to a Conglomerate of
Foreign companies attached to NNPC. The contract was over-invoiced to the
tune of US$35.5million (Thirty-five million, five Hundred Thousand
United States Dollars only). This was done deliberately; the over-invoicing
was a deal by members of my committee to benefit from the project. We now
desire to transfer this money, which is presently in a suspense account of
NNPC with the Central Bank of Nigeria into an overseas account, which we
expected you to provide.
BENEFIT: For providing the account where we shall remit the money, you
will be entitled to 30% of the money. 60% will be for my partners, and me
while 10% has been mapped out from the total sum to cover any expenses that
might be incurred by us during the course of this transaction, both local
and international expenses. I would require the following information from
you:
(1) Your private Tel/Fax numbers.
It does not matter whether or not your company does project of this
nature described here, the assumption is that you WON a MAJOR CONTRACT and
subcontracted it out to other companies more often than not, big trading
companies or firms of related fields win major contracts and subcontracts to
more specialized firms for execution of such contracts. We have strong
connections at the Central Bank of Nigeria and the Federal Ministry of
Finance and we have no doubt that all this money will be released and
transferred if we get the necessary foreign Partner (s) to assist us in the
deal. Therefore, when the business is successfully concluded, we shall
through our same connections withdraw all documents used from all the
concerned government ministries for 100% security.
If this proposal is of interest to you, then contact me on the above
numbers.
I wait in anticipation of your cooperation.
Yours faithfully,
Dr. Alebiri Ebimobo
