Dear Friend:
l am Mr. Nuel Oke, the contracts verification manager of Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), Because of my position and that of other strategic officials who are heads in their Departments, we have in our possession, since 2001 the sum of US$400M Dollars (Four hundred million United States Dollars) which we emassed through over invoicing of foreign contracts fully executed and commissioned with the different foreign contractors duely paid their full contract amounts.
We have made several fruitless moves to transfer this fund abroad for our mutual benefits. One in 2002 when one Mr. Lambert Brown of the United States of America, living at No 125 N. Kinsley Ave. Ocean City, NJ 082216, ran away with our US$65M Dollars after the fund has been transfered into his account. lt was unbelievable, shocking and hypertensive that when we went there to claim our share of the fund, we were told that nobody with that name was living in that house and that the former occupant of the flat moved away few weeks ago to an unkown house. This is how we lost US$65M Dollars to the heartless Mr. Lambert Brown.
The second attempt was when in 2003, we decided to carry US$50M dollars in cash through the Lagos lnternational Airport but was stopped by the Nigerian Custom Officers who seized the fund till date . This is how we lost another US$50M Dollars to the Nigerian Custom.
Following the peaceful life ushered in by the current democratic dispensation in Nigeria, l and my colleages have decided to transfer the sum of US$5.320M (Five Million Three Hundred and Twenty Thousand dollars) into a foreign account operated by a foreigner for our mutual benefits. By this letter, l request your assistance in transferring and safeguarding the sum of US$5.320M Dollars for our mutual benefits.
For assisting us in transferring and safeguarding this fund, you will be entitled to 35% of the total sum 5% will be set aside for charity and philantropic purposes 57% belongs to me and my colleagues while 3% will go for reimbursement of all expenses made by both parties. However, l want you to be human and humane so that you do not become this second Mr. Lambert Brown of the United States. lt is imperative to note that this transaction is risk free as all modalities for the successful transfer of this fund have been perfected by my colleagues in the relevant ministries.
However, we should see absolute confidentiality as our watchword throughout the course of this transaction for we are civil servants and will equally not like the 2002 event to redramatise itself.
l will not be ungrateful if you can urgently furnish me with your private telephone, fax and mobile numbers and name of beneficiary with the telex numbers of the receiving bank. These will enable us speed up the claim of the fund and eventual transfer into your nominated account.
Looking forward to hear from you soonest. Or call me on my direct telefax number further inquiries - 234 80 28439963
Dr. Nuel Oke
