Dear
Sir,We
wish to
solicit
your

to provide
us with a
solution
to a
money
transfer
of
Fourteen
Million,
Nine
Hundred
Thousand
United
States
Dollars(US$14,900,000.00).I
got your
contact
through
my in-law
who works
with
Ministry
of
External
Affairs
in
Nigeria
and a
careful
study of
your
business
activities
confirms
that you
are the
one we
need. We
are
members
of the
special
committee
newly
instituted
by the
present
civilian
administration
of
President
Olusegun
Obansanjo.
Our duty
is to
review
all
contracts
awarded to
foreign
firms/contractors
from the
ministry
of
petroleum
from 1993
to May
28th
2006.It
may
interest
you to
know that
most of
the
contracts
awarded
were over
invoiced
or
inflated.
One of
such
contract
has been
identified.
The said
contract
was
originally
executed
by an
Italian
based
firm
(Straberg
ItalianoSpa)
in (1996),
to supply
250,000
monax
turbine
polypropylene
plant sand
150,000
bpsd for
kaduna
refinery.
Pipeline
reconstruction
and
computer
optimization
for plants
"A"
to Kaduna
refinery,
as part of
the
measure
taken to
aid the
turn
around
maintenance
to recoup
the
almost
collapsed
refineries
in
Nigeria.The
total
amount
approved
by the
then
military
government
was put at
US$126,000.000.
00. The
actual
amount
used for
executing
the
contract
was
estimated
to be
US$140,900.000.00,
which has
since
been paid
to the
foreign
contractor.
The
remaining
US$14,900.000.00
was
inflated.
The over
inflated
amount is
lying in
our
corporation's
account

apex
bank,

part of
the
contract
to your
company.
By doing
so, your
company
will be
created
as a
