Subject: Happy New Year My Dear Friend
Dear Friend,
I am the chairman of the contract award committee of
the National Petroleum Corporation here in Nigerian,
for security reasons, I may not wish to disclose how
I got your email address for now.
After due deliberation with my partner, I decided to
forward to you this business proposal, we want you
to assist us receive the sum of Twenty eight million,
six hundred thousand united state bills(us28.6m) into
your account. This fund resulted from an ver-invoiced
contract awarded by us under the budget allocation
to my ministry and the bill was approved for payment
by the concerned ministries. The contract was
executed,commissioned and the contractor was paid his actual
cost of the contract.
Now, we are left with the balance of us28.6m as the
over invoiced amount, which we have deliberately
over estimated for our own use. Please note that the
law forbids civil servants to operate or own foreign
accounts hence this contact, we have agreed to share
the money in the following percentages: 30 for you,
60 for us 10 for tax as may be required by your
Government.
Note that this transaction is very much free from all
sorts of risk hence the business was carefully
planned before it was successfully executed and we
the officials involved in the deal have put many years
in service to our ministry. We have been exercising
patience for this privilege for so long not until
the presidential announcement last week, that all
foreign contractors owed be paid forthwith, this
will enable the presidency reconcile our debt ratio
with the outside world and to most of us, this is a
lifetime blessing we cannot afford to miss. Upon
indication of your interest to fully co-operate with
us, you are advised to furnish me with your company
and residential address including your telephone
number because the information will enable us
seek/secure approval of the fund from the concerned
government quarters/ministries within 1-2 banking
days.
As soon as the fund is released to you. I will
immediately come over to your country to arrange for
our own share and possibly invest part of this money
in a profitable line of product in your company or
better invest as a share holder if only you will
protect my interest as a foreigner when I arrive your
country.
Let honesty and trust be our watchword throughout this
transaction. I shall furnish you with some details
about myself. Your prompt reply will be highly
appreciated via my alternative Email:adams_223@yahoo.co.uk
Phone: 234-803-3056-320
Best regards.
