Dear Sir,
Foremostly,I want to apologize for the inconveniences this letter might have
caused you. After due consultations, you were recommended to me by an in-law
who recently relinquished his position as a diplomat in your country.My
in-law confided in me of your capability and reliability to handle and
safeguard the understated transaction.
I am Mr. RAYMOND JOHN, the Director of Finance and Accounts of the Nigerian
National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) in collaboration with the Director of
procurements and contract awards of the (NNPC). Following the meeting held
in Oct 25th, 2002 by the management staffs of the Products and Pipelines
Marketing Company(PPMC), the House Committee on contract allocations and the
Honourable Minister of Petroleum Resources resulted in collaborating with
honest, trustful and capable foreign partners to handle the sub-contract of
supplying of 30 Million barrels of petrol following the break down of our
National Refineries which caused severe scarcity of fuel in the country
then.
In this vein, a contract was awarded to us through our Corporation in the
oil sector in Feb this year. We sub-contracted a firm from Venezuela that
took up the contract. In the process of the contract, the contract was
over-invoiced by adding (two dollars and fifty cents) per barrel and the
total over-invoiced sum came to USD$125 Million.(One hunderd twenty five
million U.S.Dollars). The actual contract value has been paid off to the
Venezuelan firm as the contract has been fully completed by Sept,2003 while
it is the over-invoiced amount that is left.
Sir,we strongly solicit for your assistance by helping take receipt of the
funds into your nominated bank account in your country where we can transfer
this fund. We expect that you send us the full contact info of the bank as
well.Our fear is that we may be discharged from our position anytime due to
the political instabilities in this country(Nigeria) and we are contacting
you for the fact that we are civil servants and are not allowed by law and
the anti-corruption task force to operate foreign accounts.We have concluded
modalities for the transfer of this fund which is 100% risk free,so far as
you are receiving the payment as a sister company to the contractors in
Venezuela. Please let us have your phone/fax number for easy contact.
Thanks for your anticipated co-operation.
Best regard
RAYMOND JOHN .
