Subject: ATTENTION PLEASE
FROM THE DESK OF DR.JESSE WILLIAMS (NNPC "CONTRACT TENDER COMMITTEE /
PIPELINES MAINTENANCE PROJECT)
ATTN: CEO/SIR/MADAM
I am Dr.Jesse Williams, Director , "CONTRACT TENDER COMMITTEE" /
PIPELINES MAINTENANCE PROJECT)Nigerian National Petroluem Corporation ,
Lagos Nigeria.
The little information i got about you courtesy Federal Ministry of
Foreign Affairs is so positive,hence i decided to contact you .
I have been mandated by the Chairman Contract Tender Board of Directors
(NNPC) to source for a trusted foreign partner who will not betray trust in
this transaction.
As Civil servants we are not permitted by law to operate or own
foreign account since the contracts were executed by foreign firms, this is
why we seek for your assitance to provide an account for us to facilitate
the transfer of this fund for our mutual benefit as the original
contractors have received their final instalmental payment last month.
The US$31M is an accumulation of over invoice contracts , which have already
been executed and commissioned in 2005
This amount still lies in the NNPC suspense account with the Central
Bank of Nigeria(CBN) as retention fee still owed to a foreign firm.
To transfer this money into your account fresh files have to be opened in
your name.
Therefore we request you to furnish us with
your Bank details as follows:
1. YOUR COMPANY NAME, ADDRESS, TELEPHONE NUMBER
2. DETAILS OF YOUR BANK PARTICULARS/PHONE NUMBER
These information should be sent to me immediately you indicat your interest
in this project to enable the Federal Government to approve all the relevant
documents. It has been agreed that you retain 20% of the USD $31M while 5%
is to offset local expenses incured by both parties during the course of the
transaction,while we take the remaining 75%.
Please note that all modalites have been worked out with some top
officials of the Federal Ministry of Finance (FMF) and Central Bank of
Nigeria to facilitate the smooth and easy remittance of the amount into your
bank account within days of getting your positive interest.
It is worthy to inform you that this transaction is entirly based on
trust since this money is going to be paid into your Bank Account.
We will come to you for our own share once you confirmed receipt of
the fund into your account.
I await for your response.
Yours sincerely,
Dr.Jesse Williams
