Attn,
I am the chairman of the contract award committee of the National Petroleum Corporation here in Nigerian. I got your contact from a business site on the internet.
After due deliberation with my partner, I decided to forward to you this business proposal. We want you to assist us receive the sum of Twenty Eight Million, six hundred thousand united state bills(us28.6m) into your account. This fund resulted from an over-invoiced contract awarded by us under the budget allocation to ministry of Petroleum Corporation and the bill was approved for payment by the concerned ministries. The contract was executed, commissioned and the contractor was paid his actual cost of the contract. Now, we are left with the balance of us28.6m as the over invoiced amount, which we have deliberately over estimated for our own use. Please note that the law forbids civil servants to operate or own foreign accounts hence your assistance in this transaction. We have agreed to share the money in the following percentages: 30 for you, 60 for us and 10 for taxes as may be required by your government.
Note that this transaction is very much free from all sorts of risk since the business was carefully planned before it was successfully executed and we the officials involved in the deal have put many years in service to our ministry. We have been exercising patience for this privilege for so long not until the presidential announcement last week, that all foreign contractors owed be paid forthwith. This will enable the presidency reconcile our debt ratio with the outside world and to most of us. This is a lifetime blessing we cannot afford to miss. Upon indication of your interest to fully co-operate with us, a payment application/information form will be sent to you via email for completion.
Be informed also that the above mentioned form v when properly completed by you and return via email to enable us seek/secure approval of the fund from the concerned government quarters/ministries within 1-2 banking days.
As soon as we confirm receipt of this money in your nominated bank account, my partner and I will come over to your country to arrange for our own share and possibly invest part of this money in your country.
Let honesty, confidentiality and trust be our watchword throughout this transaction. I shall furnish you with some details about myself. Your prompt reply will be highly appreciated. Waiting for your urgent reply

Best regards,
Emmanuel Jude.
