ATTN: THE DIRECTOR / C.E.O
Good day,
Although this proposal might come to you as a surprise, since it is coming from someone you don’t know or ever seen before.
I am the Executive Chairman of the Contract Award Department of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC). After due deliberation with my partners, we have decided to forward this business proposal to you, based on a satisfactory information we gathered from Cyprus Business guide, about your Company’s honesty in business transactions, that gave us confidence to link you with this business to assist us to transfer the sum of US$32 million into your nominated bank account.
This fund came as a result of over invoiced bill from contract awarded by us under the budget allocation to our organization – (NNPC) of Turn Around Maintenance of our Refineries and the bill was approved for payment by the appropriate authorities. The contract was executed, commissioned and the contractors duly paid his full cost of the contract as stipulated in the agreement, leaving the sum of US$32 million behind as an over invoiced cost as agreed.
Therefore, the over-invoiced amount of US$32 million, which we have deliberately overestimated for our own use, is what we need to transfer into your nominated bank account for our mutual benefit.
Due to the civil service code of conduct here in Nigeria, Civil Servant are not allowed to operate or own a Foreign Account, this is why we are contacting you for assistance in this regard. We have agreed to compensate you with 20% of the total sum for your assistance and account owner.
This transaction is very much free- from all sort of risk you can think of hence this business was carefully planned before it was successfully executed.
NB: Every document needed for the successful transfer of this fund have been procured all ready, what we need from you is your willingness and sincerity to handle this transaction. All these will only take us about (14) fourteen working days to conclude as soon as we receive your reply, every other explanation will be given to you.
As soon as the transfer is concluded, I and my partners involved in this deal will come to your country to arrange for our shares, upon confirmation from you that the money have been credited into your nominated bank account. Which we wish to invest in Real Estate Management Business in your country.
Therefore, as soon as we receive your reply, an NNPC contract form will be sent to you to fill and return to us, to enable us fax to you every other documents that related to this transfer.
We thank you for your mutual cooperation. Looking forward for your response.
Best regards.
ENGR.. SAM DURU
CHAIRMAN (CONTRACT / AWARD DEPT.) NNPC
