Subject: please dont hesitate mail me if you are intrested
I am sorry I have not email you in quite some time. I had to reformat
my computer and I lost everything in the process. Fortunately, my
seceretary found your email address for me, so we may now continue
this business venture in your country.I hereby write to inform you of
my Business Proposal to you and I understand that this mail will come
to you as a surprise.However,I want you to have in your mind that my
words in this mail to you is my bond and I am hoping you go through
it carefully.I will start by introducing myself to you. I am the
Treasury Controller, Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation [NNPC]
and a close associate of the immediate past Minister of Petroleum
Resources. The Minister has mandated me to transfer the sum of US$50
million
Recovered from over-invoiced contracts involving the Nigerian
National Petroleum Corporation [NNPC] into several private accounts
in Europe and United States. A total sum of US$30,000,000.00 has been
transferred before the Emergence of this present Civilian
Administration, leaving the balance of US$20,000,000.00.I have made
proper arrangement/documentation to transfer the balance which is
retained in a coded account of the NNPC with the Central Bank of
Nigeria. We are soliciting that you help us to receive the fund in
trust.We Cant complete this transaction smoothly without the
participation of a foreign partner who would provide an account where
the funds could be lodged. Since it is a contract payment, the
funds must be remitted to a foreign account. The remittance of the
funds rsequires little documentation. There is no risk involved on
your part in this transaction since the Former Minister and I have
covered this transaction with adequate contract and external credit
documents from the beginning.What we require from you by e-mail are

{i} Acceptance letter of this offer

{iii} Convincing Honesty,
Trustworthiness and Willingness to abide by the requirements of this
proposal paramount of which is CONFIDENTIALITY.We have agreed that
you will retain 20% of the entire US$20,000,000.00 for your effort in
this transaction, 80% for us partners here in Nigeria and the
remaining 0.1% will be used for defrayal of incidental cost in the
course of this transfer.Please reply urgently by e-mail as we expect
that the transaction will not take more than ten working days. And
please note that this transaction must be top secret.
Best regards,
Mr.Mark Peters
