FROM THE DESK OF: DR. EMMA OGOR.
CHAIRMAN,CONTRACT AWARD COMMITTEE, N.N.P.C
.NNPC TOWERS,CENTRAL DISTRICT,ABUJA-NIGERIA.
Dear Friend,
REQUEST FOR URGENT BUSINESS PROPOSAL
Although this proposal might come to you as a surprise since it is coming
from someone you don't know or everseen before. But after due deliberation
with my colleagues, I decided to forward this business proposal. We want a
reliable person who could assist us to transfer the sum of US$47.4M (Forty
seven million,Four hundred Thousand United States Dollars)into his or her
Account.
This fund resulted from an over-invoiced bill from contract awarded by us
under the budget allocation to my ministry and the bill was approved for
payment by the concerned ministries. The contract was executed,commissioned
and the contractor was paid his actual cost of contract. We are left with
the balance of US$47.4M(Forty seven million, four hundred thousand United
States dollars)as the over-invoiced Amount which we have deliberately over
estimated for our own use but under our protocol division, civil servants
are forbidden to operate or own foriegn account. This is why I contact you
for assistance. We have agreed to share the money as follows.
1. 25% for you accountowner)
2. 70% for us,
3. 5% for tax, as may be required by your Government. As you may want to
know and make you less curious, I got your address from a reputable Large
chamber of commerce and industry and I am the executive chairman of the
contract Award committee of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation
(NNPC).
This transaction is very much free from all sort of risk hence this business
was carefully planned before it was successfully executed and we the NNPC
officials involved in the deal have put in many years of meritorious service
to our ministry. We have been exercing patience for this opportunity for so
long and for most of us this is a life time opportunity we cannot afford to
miss.
To get this fund into your account, we have to present an international
business outfit and consequent upon indication of your interest to fully
assist us in this transaction. You are advised to furnish us with the
following.
1) Your bankers name and address, telephone, fax and telex numbers.
2) Beneficiary of the account, account Number and routine code if any.
3) Your Private Telephone/Fax Numbers for easy communication.
This information will enable us seek approval of the fund from the concerned
quarters within three to four banking days and the Nigeria National
Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) payment information data will be faxed
immediately to you for completion. One of my colleagues and i involved in
this deal will come to your country to arrange for our share upon
confirmation from you that the money has hit your nominated bank account.
All these will only take us about fourteen working days to transfer this
fund into your account from the day we receive the requirement.
Your line of business in this transaction does not matter.Honesty and your
ability to keep it secret and keep our own safe when the money hits your
account is what matters.Your prompt reply will be highly appreciated.
Best regards,
DR EMMA OGOR..
(Chairman Contract Award Committee, NNPC)
