PERMISSION TO REMIT US $21 MILLION INTO YOUR COMPANY OR PRIVATE ACCOUNT
I am an accountant with the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC),Lagos and it is my pleasure to inform you of this transaction involving the transfer of US21,000,000.00 (twenty one million US dollars) into a foreign account for safekeeping pending the arrival my 2 colleagues and I for the final sharing with you as the owner of the account into which the money is deposited.
This money originated from over-invoiced contract that was awarded for the petroleum corporation some years back. This contract has long been successfully completed by a foreign firm and the contractor duly paid. We used our position to put aside the over invoiced amount for our private use. I now seek if you would assist us by permitting the surplus amount to be remitted into your account.
We are top government officials and as civil servants we cannot come out openly to claim this amount. And we are not allowed to open, own and operate foreign bank accounts. This is why we are looking for a competent and honest company or individual abroad whose documents would be tendered by us here in Nigeria as a contractor and thus legal beneficiary to the money.
To help us do this all we need at this point is your personal assurance that you will not sit on the money when it is finally paid into your nominated account. Also and very importantly that you keep this transfer confidential order not to tarnish the confidence repose in the officials involved in this transaction.
To effect this transfer we need to present your information as the sub contractor to secure the fund release, I therefore request the following:
1. YOUR FULL NAME AND ADDRESS AS YOU WILL WANT IT IN DOCUMENTS 2. YOUR BANK NAME, ADDRESS,A/C No.,TEL AND FAX Nos. WHERE THE MONEY WILL BE PAID INTO
3. AND ALSO YOUR PRIVATE FAX AND TEL. NUMBERS FOR EASY COMMUNICATION.
Though we have not met or entered into any kind of contract with you before as to know the extent of your honesty, but I personally want to believe that you are honest enough and would not sit on the money when it is finally deposited into your account. It is on this note that I consider it proper to set the breakdown of the sharing modalities:
(A). 10% WILL BE USED TO SETTLE TRANSFER CHARGES AND LEGAL PROTOCOLS.
(B). 30% IS FOR USING YOUR ACCOUNT. (C). 60% OF IT WILL BE FOR US THE
ORIGINATORS.
There are no risks on your side in this transaction because we have concluded arrangement to safe guide you in the transaction. This business is 100% risk free. Hence it requires high level of confidence and secrecy.
Also on completion of this business I plan to use part of my money to invest in real estate in your country under your care. Please note that the transfer operation will take seven to ten working days to be completed.
Please contact me by the above e-mail: davidobi12@yahoo.com
Thanks.
