Dear:Friend ,

My name is Joseph Adebayo, I’m a 68 years old man. I am the director, fund co-coordinator of the Finance Contract Department of Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation.The crux of this letter is that the Finance/Contract Department of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) deliberately over-inflated the contract values of various contract awarded.In the course of disbursement my office was able to track down the sum of US$22.5M (Twenty Two Million Five Hundred Thousand U.S Dollars) as the over invoiced.

This money is now floating in the (NNPC) domiciliary account with the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).I now want to quickly transfer this fund to a safe nominated foreign account for possible investment abroad before the end of my tenure on 25th of march 2006.

I am not allowed as a matter of government policy to operate any foreign account because of my status as civil/public servants. Hence the need to solicit for you’re full banking details, to enable me transfer this money into your account.

What this means is that Some relevant documents is going to be procured in your name which will make it easy for the money to transfered to you as the right Beneficiary.

I will travel to be with you 48 hours to the transfer of this fund to your account so that both of us will proceed to your bank with original documents to prove that this fund is a contract fund and legal and has nothing to do with money laundering,drug or terrorist acts.

For assisting me in transfering and safegarding this fund,you will be entitled to 40% of the total sum, 10% is maped out for both expenses and 50% is for me.You can open a new bank account where this funds will be transfered without further waste of time.

According to Nigeria law, at the expiration of my tenure the money will revert to the ownership of the Nigerian Government if nobody applies to claim the fund.

Please, you should not see this as dishonest rather it will not be better for corrupt Government officials in Nigeria, who are bent on their own selfish interest, to utilize this advantage which could be more better for charity.I have the interest to give out a fraction of my percentage to the charity and less preveledged, and I believe it is worth doing.
