KINDLY GET BACK TO ME ASAP,
First, I must solicit your confidence in this transaction, this is by virtue
of its nature as being confidential. I am assuring you that all will be well
at the end of the day. We have decided to contact you by e-mail due to the
urgency of this transaction.
Let me start by introducing myself properly to you. I am Dr Robert Allen,
group executive director, finance and account of NNPC formerly in line with
shell petroleum development cooperation in joint venture (NNPC/SPDC). I came
to know of you in my private search for a reliable and reputable person to
handle this confidential transaction, which involves the transfer of the sum
of thirty-five million United States dollars to a reliable account abroad.
This amount was secured from excess oil sales from Nigeria crude oil. The
sum of $1.2 billion oil windfall was relieved by the NNPC and Shell
petroleum development company for the month of august 2002.organisation of
petroleum exporting countries (OPEC) crude oil price was peg at $22.00 per
barrel and fortunately for oil producing countries like Nigeria, there was
rises in oil price to about $27.00 and $28.00 per barrel and as a result
there was excess oil sales and I believe you would be aware of this rise in
oil price in last two years.
Out of this $1.2 billion excess oil funds, my colleague and myself because
of our position in the account department of the NNPC and shell petroleum
development company diverted the sum of thirty-five million united state
dollars we want to transfer into your account which is in the excess crude
oil sales account with central bank of Nigeria.
To enable the bank transfer this US$35m secured into your bank account you
will be acting as one of our contractor and this money will be paid in your
favour. Note, the reason for the transfer of these thirty-five million US
dollars into your account was because of our incapability as government
officials to own a foreign account, as it is unlawful by law in Nigeria as
civil servants.
All the necessary documentation for the approval of this fund into your
account will be taken good care of and this business is hundred percent risk
free as all the modalities for the smooth transfer of this fund into your
account has been concluded already. My colleagues and I have agreed to offer
you the percentage medium below:
We shall offer you Twenthy percent of the total money after successful
lodging in to your account,Ten percent will be for expenses that may arise
in the course of the transfer, while seventy percent will be for me and my
partner here. Which part of it will be for investment in your country
strictly on your advice. To enable us proceed with this business, you are
required to send me your direct phone and fax numbers for verbal discussion.
