Dear Sir,
REQUEST FOR URGENT CONFIDENTIAL BUSINESS PROPOSAL
After due deliberation with my colleagues, I decided to forward this
proposal. 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-invoced 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 was paid the actual cost of the
contract
.
we are leftwith the balance of US$30,000,000.00 as part of the
over-invoiced amount, which we have deliberately over estimated, for our own I
am contacting you to be
our custodian for this fund.
1. 20% for you (Account Owner)
2. 70% for us
3. 10% 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 address
from adverts, in business directory that protrayed your establishment
in good light. I am the Secretary of the Contract Awarding Committee
(CAC)of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC).
This transaction is very much free from all sorts of RISK and TROUBLE
from my Government. We have been exercising patience for this
opportunity for so long and to most of us this is a life time opportunity we
cannot affford to miss. To get this fund paid into your account, we have to
present a Payment Invoice from a foreign establishment like yours. With
this invoice, we will seek approval to transfer the fund within 14
banking days through the APEX BANK to your designatd Bank Account.
I and one of my colleague involved in this deal will come to your
country to arrange for our share upon the confirmation from you that the
money has been credited into your nominated Bank Account. Consequently
upon your acceptance of my proposal,kindly confirm your interest by revert
mail to the above e/mail address It will surprise you why we choose you
and trusted you for this transaction. 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 transaction with you.
Be further informed that everyone's interestand security had been
considered before you were
contacted. So be rest assured and feel free to go into this transaction
with us. But let honesty be our watch word throughout this transaction
and your prompt reply will be highly appreciated.
Best regards,
FRIDAY OKEFOR
