Chairman Contract Award Committee,
Nigerian National petroleum corporation (NNPC).
REPLY TO MY PRIVATE EMAIL ADDRESS:(Joedans5@yahoo.com)
Dear Sir,
REQUEST FOR URGENT MUTUAL BUSINESS TRANSACTION.
Although this proposal might come to you as a surprise since it is
coming from someone you don't know or ever seen before, but after due
deliberation with my colleagues, we have decided to forward this
business proposal to you. We want a reliable person who would assist us
to transfer the sum of USD$30Million (Thirty million United States
Dollars)into his or her nominated Bank Account.
This fund resulted from an over-invoiced bill from contract awarded by
us under the budget allocation to my organization{NNPC} of Turn Around
Maintainace of our various refineries.
The contract was executed,and the contractor
was duly paid his full cost of the contract as stipulated in the
contract agreement leaving behind the USD$30M.
Therefore, the over-invoiced which we have deliberately over estimated for our own use is what we need your assistance for transfer and for our mutual benefits. Due to the civil services code of conduct here in Nigeria, civil servants are not allowed to operate or own foreign account. This is why we are contacting you for assistance in this regard.
We have agreed to share the money as follows,35% for your Assistance
The Account Owner and 65% for US
As you may want to know and make you less curious, I got your address
from a reputable Large chamber of commerce and industry and I am the
executive chairman of the contract Award committee of the Nigerian
National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC). This transaction is very
much free from all sort of risk hence this business was carefully
planned before it was successfully executed and we the NNPC officials
involved in the deal have put in many years of meritorious service to ourorganization.
We have been exercising patience for this opportunity for so long and
for most of us this is a life time opportunity we cannot afford to
miss. To get this fund into your account, we have to present an
international business outfit and consequent upon indication of your
interest to fully assist us in this transaction, you are required to
furnish us with the followings:
(A)Your Full Name and Your Home Address
(B) Your Private Telephone/Fax Numbers for easy
communication.
(C) Your full account information where you will like the money to be
transfer.
This information will enable us apply for approval of
the fund from the concerned quarters within three to four
banking days and the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation.
Indicate your interest by replying to the email adress above
Waiting for your response
Regards
Dr Joe Daniels
N.B IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN CRUDE OIL,WE SHALL LINK YOU UP AFTER THIS TRANSACTION.
