ATTENTION PLEASE,
I am Mr. Nicholas Donald; the Chairman of Contract Award and verification
panel set up by the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC). I got
your contact from the National Chamber of Commerce and after thorough
enquiry and my deliberations, my colleagues and I decided to contact you
for a very confidential business transaction of mural benefit. During our
verification exercise, we came across an over-invoiced contract. (CONTRACT
NO: NNPC\ PED, 1473\ 2000) This contract was awarded in July 2000 and was
completed in August 2002 and the original contractor has since been paid
his contract sum, leaving the over-invoiced sum of US$35Million (Thirty
five Million United States Dollars).
This amount has been left floating in our account with the Central Bank of
Nigeria (CBN), until our recent discovery. My colleagues and I have decided
to seek for assistance of a relible foreign partner into whose account the
funds 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 regal beneficiary of the
contract and sum to be transferred. All necessary and relevant documents
will be prepered for the release and transfer of fund into your nominated
account.
An application for foreign exchange allocation will be made on your behalf
from the office of the Governor of Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) for the
subsequent release and transfer of this fund into your nominated account.
Be informed that we are working in collaboration with top officials of the
Federal Ministry of Finance and the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) who will
assist us with the tansfer of the fund. With your co-operation the success
of the transaction is guaranteed.
We have agreed to compensate you with 30% of the total sum, 65% will be for
me and my colleagues here while the remaning 5% has been mapped out for
miscellaneous expenses that might be incurred by both parties during the
course of this transaction. You are required to fax 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, more details about how to
proceed will be given to you.
My fax number is 234-1-7593958 and my phone number is 234-8060372852.
I await your prompt response.
Sincerely,
Mr. Nicholas Donald
