Subject: Dear Friend!!!
DEPARTMENT OF PETROLEUM RESOURCES

WUSEI-ABUJA .
Dear friend,
I am Dr Raymond Kings ,a member of the Contract Award Committee of the above
department. My term of reference involves the award of contracts to
multinational companies. My office is saddled with the responsibility of
contract award, screening, categorization and prioritization of projects
embarked upon by Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR) as well as
feasibility studies for selected projects and supervisig the project
consultants involved. The DPR is now compiling beneficiaries to be paid for
the last Quarter of this year,2006.
The crux of this mail is that the finance/contract department of the DPR
deliberately over -invoiced the contract value of the various contracts
awarded. In the course of disbursements, this department has been able to
accumulate the sum of US$9,200, 000.00 (Nine Million,two Hundred Thousand
U.S Dollars) as the over-invoiced sum. This money is currently in a suspense
account of the DPR account with the Debt Reconciliation Committee (DRC).
We now seek to process the transfer of this fund officially as contract
payment to you as a foreign contractor, who will be fronting for us as the
beneficiary of the fund. In this way we can facilitate these funds into your
nominated account for possible investment abroad. We are not allowed as a
matter of government policy to operate any foreign account to transfer this
fund into.
However, for your involvement in assisting us with this transfer into your
nominated account we have revolved a sharing formula as follows:
(1) 30% for you as the foreign partner.
(2) 70% for my colleagues and I.
(3) All expenses shall be made by us the officials involved here in Nigeria,
You will be required to setup a fresh bank account in a bank of our choice.
We shall be relying on your advice as regard
investment of our share in any business in your country.
Be informed that this business is genuine and100% safe considering the
high-power government officials involved. Send your private fax/telephone
numbers. Upon your response we shall provide you with further information on
the procedures.
I will be contacting you as soon as i get a feed back from you.
Expecting your prompt and positive response as I Look forward to a good
business relationship with you.
Sincerely,
Dr Raymond Kings
