contract awarding committee chairman I over inflated in to the tone
of 55 million United State Dollars, the work have been completed and
the company have been paid by Nigeria National Petroleum
Cooperation and they have gone, what is left now is 15 million

country for a meeting and subsequent, introduce me into a
profitable business where I will invest my own share of the fund.
I have set aside 100% to be shared between me and you. I being the
contract awarding committee chairman, I will get 50%, you that is
assisting me will get 40% then 10% will be shared between both
parties for any expenses we may meet on the way during the
transaction.
