We are soliciting for your total assistance and co-operation to enable us transfer the contract sum of US$18.5M (Eighteen million five hundred thousand united state dollars), which resulted from over invoiced contract. I will advise that you read thoroughly and carefully, through this mail. This transaction is highly confidential and 100% risk free. It should be strictly between you and me. Note clearly that this transaction has been well planned and masterminded by my colleagues and I. We have followed all the required official contract award/ payment procedures, and all documents to facilitate the smooth conclusion of this transaction are legitimate and officially in order. There is no problem, this contract is LEGAL. THIS TRANSACTION IS A BUSINESS DEAL BETWEEN YOU AND US, BUT IT IS LEGITIMATE AND GENUINE TO THE AUTHORITIES. I want to assure you that you have nothing to fear about, your main priority should be to give us your total co-operation, and follow our advice /instruction. You should consider this transaction as already successful & concluded. This transaction is for real, its no Childs play. As the Chairman of the Committee I hereby solicit strongly for your total co-operation and confidentiality, in this transaction and also hope that you will not betray the confidence that we have reposed on you, for you will benefit immensely from this transaction. You can check this site for details of my picture and other director.http://www.nnpcgroup.com/board.htmPlease send us the following information's:(1) Your bank account details viz: bankers name, address, account number,account name, tele/fax number. You can send me your new Bank Account details or send your existing Bank Account.(2) Your company name, address, your company telephone/fax number and yourprivate telephone/fax numbers. We need this information to enable us award the contract in your name/company name and prepare letters of claim in your name/ company name as the N.N.P.C foreign sub-contractor and sole beneficiary to the contract payment and then forward it to the appropriate quarters for N.N.P.C payment approval before we now finally submit all the details to the Central Bank of Nigeria for processing of final payment approvals/remittance of the contract sum of US$18.5M into the bank account provided by you.
