Dear,
My name is Chief Sam Edem, The Chairman of Niger Delta Delta Development Commission (NNDC), I am writing on behalf of other members of the board. The Niger Delta Development Commission came to being at the inception of the present civilian regime in Nigeria, to take care and develop the infrastructure needs of the oil rich delta region of Nigeria as a result of long neglect by subsequent Military regimes. This has degenerated in many crisis, and with the persisting in the region and the effect it has in petroleum export, which is the major export commodity of my country, the board was therefore set up to tackle and solve this problems.
Don’t be surprise as to how I got your contact, it was as a result of my persistent search for an honest and reliable businessman that can help in the transfer of this sum of money from contract awards by our boards. We have decided to transfer the sum of $65,000,000 (sixty five million dollars) to your account abroad for safe keeping and investment. This sum represents our share of inflated contracts awarded by our commission for the development of the region to contractors working in partnership with our Commission. This sum was derived from contracts awarded for the supply of pipelines for oil drilling in the Niger Delta region here.
Since we are still public servants, the law forbids us from keeping foreign accounts.
And since we shall soon retire from the service of the government, we shall have to rely on this fund to overcome our retirement problems, since there is little or no pension or gratuity for retiring public service workers in my country.
Bear in mind that this transaction is risk free and all modalities have been put in place to ensure that these funds are successfully transferred to your account since we have our connections and backings from the government. Your share after a successful transfer of these fund is 30%, while 5% is for any accrued expenditure that arose during the process of this transfer. You shall help us invest these funds in real esstate and blue chip companies in your country.
We wait upon your reply for further information. Please detail us with the following immediately you accept this transaction.
a)your legal names and address
b)telephone and fax numbers
We wait your immediate response nad co-operation. Contact me with this email address: progress64@o2.pl
Best Regards,
Chief Sam Edem
Chairman Nddc
