My name is Francis Jaja, I am a director in the finance
department in the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC). I
know my mail will come to you as a surprise and also embarrassing,
In that case I beg for your sincere understanding.
I want you to have a good understanding with me and handle this
business with utmost seriousness and carefulness for our mutual
benefit. This business involves us$22million (twenty two million
united states dollars) which I want us to secure in your personal
or company account by transfer from the NNPC treasury account with
central bank of Nigeria (CBN) to your account. This us$22million is
an over-invoice of a contract executed in my corporation in 2002.
The original foreign contractor who executed this contract has been
paid his real payment what is left now is these excess
us$22million. I want to encourage you not to be afraid, with your
understanding and diligence we shall secure the money without any
trace in less than 21 working days. Everything about the contract
is well known to me.
What is needed from you now are the following: your name and
company name if any, your private phone, fax and email and the
particulars of the bank account where you want the money to be
transferred.
On the conclusion of this business I will visit your country and
the money will be shared as follows: 25% for you, 70% for me and
the remaining 5% will be used to pay back any expenses that may be
incurred on the process.
Once more I want to assure you that this business is risk free, you
should not fear for I have every data about this money but you must
keep everything confidential. . I am expecting your immediate reply
through my private email address fj_a103@latinmail.com
