Strictly Confidential and Urgent Business Proposal.
Re: Transfer Of Twenty - One Million, Five Hundred Thousand Us Dollars Only.
I am a member of the Federal Government Of Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (N.N.P.C).
Sometime ago, a contract was awarded to a foreign firm in the Petroleum Trust Fund (P.T.F.) BY MY COMMITTEE.
This contract was over invoiced to the tune of Twenty - One Million, Five Hundred Thousand Us Dollars. This was done deliberately. The over - invoicing was a deal by my committee to benefit from the project.
We not want to transfer this money, which is in a suspense account with the P.T.F. into any oversea account, which we expect you to provide for us.
Share:
60 percent of the money would be for my partners and I.
30 percent of the money would be yours, for providing us with logistics, which would include a safe bank account, where we shall facilitate funds transfer into, as soon as documentations are concluded over here.
10 percent of the money has been mapped out from the total sum to cover any expenses that might be incurred during the course of the transaction, (both local and international expenses).
Please, if you are interested in assisting us carry out to the fullest capacity this transaction, we would require the following information from you which would enable us make formal application to the various ministries / parastatals, for the release and onward transfer of the money to your account.
1. Your Full Name, Company's Name, Address, Telephone and Fax Numbers.
2. Your Bank Name, Address. Telephone and Fax Number.
3. Your Bank Account Number and Beneficiary Name - You must be the signatory.
Please, note that we have strong and reliable connections at the Central Bank of Nigeria and other Government Parastatals, hence assistance in this regards, would not be a problem.
At the conclusion of this transaction, we shall use same contacts to withdraw all documents used in the course of this, to avoid any trace whatsoever that may ever arise, to you or to us, now and in the nearest possible future.
Kindly contact me as soon as possible, whether or not you are interested in this deal, so that whereby you are not interested, it would give us more room to scout for another partner. But if interested in assisting us, please contact me via my secured email address, as soon as possible (achidagogo@netscape.net) so that we can swing into action, as time is not on our part.
I wait in anticipation of your fullest co-operation.
Yours Faithfully,
Dr. Achi Dagogo.
