BUSINESS PROPOSAL FROM AN INSIDER
Sir, I remain privileged to consult you through this medium in my capacity as the accountant general of Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC). The content of this letter did not emerge out of prejudice rather a conscientious agreement between me and the group managing director of this corporation to look for a foreign partner, a God fearing person of credible character who will do business with us. BUSINESS NATURE: We realized the sum of ($24.6m) from over invoicing of three contracts which was inflated; these contract was awarded and executed between Nov.2005 and Oct.2006. These contracts awarded to Harliburton,Cheveron and ABB Companies had there original price quote inflated as this note will explain. Harliburton: NNPC/NLNG/2231/2006 valued at $284m was inflated to the turn of $294m. That of Chevron with NNPC /NLNG/1612/2005-6 valued for $85m usd was inflated to the sum of $93m usd. Asia Brown Boveri’s Contract NNPC/NLNG/2821/2006 valued at $125.8m was inflated to the sum of $132.4m usd only. These inflated over invoicing accrued a total sum of ($24.6m) which we now intend to payout to the third party. This third party person will represent my interest and that of my collogues here with irrevocable trust. We seriously need your participation as third party in this Business Deal as we intend to payout this over invoice Bill to your account of which you will only be permitted to retain 20% of the entire Fund for your services, the balance will be for me and my collogues here. Before the money is wired to your bank account, you will be hosting our representative in your country, his mission is very necessary as he will be empowered to discuss our collective interest in respect of this business, further information will be giving to you as soon as we confirm your readiness to do business with us. Finally I do wish to make this remark that this business deal is 100% risk free, so if you do not have the courage to do this business, kindly indicate as that gesture will give us the ample chance to solicit for another beneficiary. Yours Sincerely,Mr. Colin B.ShandAccountant General (Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation)
