Subject: your consent and cooperation
Dear sir,
how are you and your family today? hope fine.
my name is egr nasiru mohamed, i work with chevron oil exploration and gas
company. An American joint company with NNPC Nigeria.
In the exploring field at Excravos and Bonny where I am now, the south south
militant group has been treatening to blow the plant down because of the
political tension in the area and the recent arrest of their leader by the
government in power.
Recently, the group attacked and kidnaped some key staff of the company,
including some expatrates. It took the company, the state government, and
the village heads serious financial negotiations before they were released.
I made some seriouse money in cash with some foreign Oil Merchants who comes
with their batches/ships to lift oil ilegally. They are called oil
bunkerers. They sport lift and pay cash in dollars.
Now I am sick and tired of constant treat by these militants group to the
company. I have some serious money I saved/kept in a vault. As an expatrate,
we are not allowed to operate a domicilary account in the banks according to
the banking policy of this country. The money I kept in a
nearby country.
At this point in time, I will need your kind gesture, if you could give me
your consent and cooperation for me to transfer this money I already kept in
a Vault. In doing this therefore, I will need your complete information to
enable me transfer the ownership to you directly. Recieve the money on my
behalve then we negotiate. In short I want to leave the job and this
country.
Please response to this request if you are interested, but if you are not
interested please kindly delete it from your mailing lists.
Thanks and God Bless as I urgently await your reply.
Regards,
Engr Nasiru Mohamed
