Subject: Your business investment partnership required
PLEASE KEEP PRIVATE AND
CONFIDENTIAL
ATTN:The Managing Director/CEO.
TRANSFER OF USD$15.5MILLION DOLLARS INTO YOUR PRIVATE
ACCOUNT FOR INVESTMENT PURPOSE IN YOUR COUNTRY.
==========================================================
This letter to you is as a result of my search for
business partnership and investment opportunity in
your country and esteem recommendation I received from
the local branch of the International Chamber of
commerce,on your credibility and reliability with
regard to business dealings.
Indeed it may come to you as a surprise but it was
borne out of my sincere desire to share a mutual
business relationship with you.First,your strictest
confidence in this transaction is highly solicited
This is by virtue of its nature as being utterly
confidential and top secret with its success based
entirely on mutual trust and cooperation and an
uncompromisable high level of confidentiality .
I am an Executive Director in the Nigerian National
Petroleum Corporation and a member of the Contract
Advisory Committee (CAC). I am seeking your assistance
to enable me transfer the sum of $15,500,000 (Fifteen
Million Five hundred Thousand United States Dollars)
into your private/company account.The transaction I
want to make with you is as a result of careful
coordinated activities that have planned a number of
years during which the contracts were awarded under my
supervision.
These particular contracts of reference were awarded
to two foreign contractors to the tune of
90,450,000.00 (Ninety Million,Four hundred and Fifty
Thousand United States Dollars)with my benefit
carefully concealed within.And this contract has been
satisfactorily executed and inspected by the ministry
and the Bulgarian firm who did the contract is
presently in the process of securing their
payment.However it is of note that I am also in-charge
of all foreign contract payment approval.
Well as a civil servant in active government service,
the code of conduct prohibits me from operating a bank
account outside our country thus the reason for
seeking your assistance .The desire is for you to
present your private or company Name as a beneficiary
of contractual claims alongside with that of the
Bulgarian contractor, to enable me transfer the
difference of $15,500,000.00 (Fifteen Million,Five
Hundred Thousand United States Dollars)in your favor
into any account you which to provid for us for this
processe.
Upon conclusion of the transaction, it is my wish that
the funds be distributed with 30% to you as the
beneficiary.10% for reimbursement of any incidental
expenses we may incur in the process of execution of
this transaction and 60% for us to be
managed under an investment program in your country
with you as the managing partner pending my retirement
from government service by the first quota of next
Year (2007 ).
I would like to assure you that I have carefully and
painstakingly made all arrangements to ensure the safe
and risk free actualization of the transaction,of
which we hope it will be concluded within a few
working days upon the confirmation of your interest
and the submission of the necessary application for
the release of this payment sum in your favour. It
does not matter whether or not your company does
contract or projects of the nature described here, the
assumption is that your company won the major contract
and sub-contracted it out to other companies.More
often than not, big trading companies or firms of
unrelated fields win major contract and sub-contract
to more specialized firms for execution of such
contracts.
We are civil servants and will not want to miss this
opportunity. We want this money transferred to the
overseas account as quickly as possible.Please
endeavor to contact me immediately via this email
either or not you can render this much needed
assistance, If you are not,i will enable me scout for
another foreign partner to carry out this project.But
where by , You are intrested I shall be pleased to
furnish you with further details.Please kindly
indicate your frame of mind via my email address
immediately because time is of high essence in this
regard. I wait in anticipation of your fullest
co-operation and quick response.
