Dear Sir/Madam ,
After due deliberation with my colleagues, I decided to forward this
proposal to you. We want a
reliable person who could assist us to transfer the sum of Thirty Million
United States
Dollars (US$30,000,000.00) into his/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 has been executed, commissioned and the
contractor has been paid the actual cost of the contract. We are left with
the over- invoiced balance of US$30,000,000.00 which we have deliberately
over estimated, for our own used. I am contacting you to be our custodian
for this fund.
1. 25% for you (Account Owner)
2. 70% for us
3. 5% for Tax, as may required by our Government and yours.
As you may want to know and to make you less curious, I got your email
address from adverts, in a business directory that portrayed your
establishment in good light. I am the Head Audit & Accounts of the Nigerian
National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC)Lagos.
This transaction is very much free from all sorts of trouble you may be
having in mind and it is risk free as well. We have been exercising patience
and waiting for this opportunity for so long and to my colleagues (two) this
is a lifetime opportunity we cannot afford to miss.
To get this fund paid into your account, we have to apply for the release of
this payment in your favor to our Ministry. We will seek approval to
transfer the fund within 14 banking days through the APEX BANK (CBN) to your
designated Bank Account. My colleague and I are involved in this deal and
will come to your country once the fund is received in your account for the
sharing and investment.
Please do kindly Indicate by revert fax or email to me of your sincerity and
interest to do this business together.
It will surprise you why we choose you to do this business with, yes, we
believe that good friends can be discovered and business like this cannot be
realized without trust. This is why we have decided to trust you for this
transaction. We are looking forward to doing this business with you.
Be further informed that everyone's interest and security had been
considered before you were contacted. So be rest assured and feel free to go
into this transaction with us. We may also arrange to meet with each other
before commencement of this transaction at your own wish.
But let honestly be our watchword throughout this transaction and your
prompt reply will be highly appreciated.
Thank Best regards,
Jaja Morris
Please do kindly indicate your acceptance by responding back to us with your
