RE: To the Honorable Contractor,
Dear Contractor,
How are you and your family? I am very positive that by now you have
given
up every hope of ever receiving your funds into your nominated bank
account
despite all the concrete promises that you were given by your Nigerian
partners stating that as soon as you perform certain statutory
obligations
regarding the finalization of your transaction you would finally
receive the
complete remittance of your funds into your nominated bank account, but
despite all their promises you are constantly been required to comply
to new
statutory obligations for new problems that arise all of a sudden that
stops
your payment and now you are beginning to wonder if the transaction you
have
with your Nigerian friends is real or not?
Well I have two news for you, the first is a bad news and the second a
good
news! The first and bad news is that you would never receive your funds
while co-operating with your Nigerian friends as you would only keep
spending money and receive the constant continuous unfruitful results
that
you have been achieving and the second and good news is that you would
finally receive your funds with my assistance as I have finally decided
to
assist you provided you adhere to my instructions and accept my
conditions.
Haven’t you wondered why all the supposed Top governmental official
that
your Nigerian partners have referred you to, since you have been
dealing
with him all use free email addresses which is abnormal for any real
and
genuine Top governmental official to use?? Please look at my own email
and
coment!!!!!
I am Engr. Funso Kupolokun the current Group Managing director of the
Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (N.N.P.C) and my office
monitors and
controls the affairs of all banks and financial institutions in Nigeria
concerned with the payment of all N.N.P.C. and Federal government of
Nigeria
owed foreign contractors who have been found eligible to receive
payment,
and I am the final signatory to the immediate payment release and
remittance
of overdue contract funds owed to any contractor both Locally and
Internationally.
When your payment file was submitted on my desk for your name to be
included
in the payment list of eligible contractors who were to receive payment
for
this new third quarter, I performed the necessary scrutinization of
your
payment file and found out that you were not the real beneficiary of
your
funds as your details were maneuvered by vetting computer, and inserted
in
the position of the real beneficiary of the funds, so I cancelled your
payment file and stamped "NOT ELLIGIBLE FOR PAYMENT" on it, and not
until
recently I found out that you were constantly been deceived by your
Nigerian
partners to pay fees to imposters claiming they can assist you in
receiving
your funds all an act to defraud you of your hard earned money, and now
you
have been frustrated because you have kept paying money via money transfers
to
these imposters and still cant receive your funds and because of your
frustration and all the money you have lost, I have decided to
intervene
into your matter and assist you in receiving your funds.
Now to assist you I have decided to include your name in the third
quarter
foreign contractors payment list of eligible contractors who would be
receiving their payments for this quarter, so that you can receive the
immediate remittance of your funds into your nominated bank account
provided
you accept my conditions below,
1. You would give me 30% of your total funds as soon as you confirm the
receipt of your funds into your nominated bank account.
2. This deal must be kept secret forever from all your Nigerian
partners as
I do not want any stain on my personality in this country, and there
should
be no third parties as most problem associated with your fund release
are
caused by your agents or representative.
3. You must adhere to every instruction that I give to you immediately
with
no doubt or disbelief as I would fail in assisting you in receiving
your
funds if you fail to adhere to every instruction that I give to you.
If you AGREE with my conditions, I want you to send an acknowledgement
to
this letter to my email nnpc@contracts.la and call me on my
private telephone number 234-1-7604931 so that I can relate
instructions
to you for the successful remittance of your funds into your nominated
bank
account.
Waiting for your immediate response to this letter and your telephone
call
now.
Yours sincerely.
Eng. Funso Kupolokun
GROUP MANAGING DIRECTOR
N.N.P.C.
