computerized conveyor for plant A-D Warri Refinery.

committee (the Contract Tender Board Committee)
with the sum of twenty six Million, Six Hundred
Thousand United States Dollars($26.6M). Now, all firms
involved in this contract have been paid accordingly
and the project commissioned.
As a result, we want to transfer this inflated sum to
a trusted Oversea Partner as the true beneficiary,
through a finacial group in Nigeria. As we, Civil
Servants in Nigeria are not allowed to operate foreign
Account.

while 5% will be set aside to offset any expenses
incurred during the transaction. 70% will be

confidentially been worked out with the top officials
of the Federal Ministry of Finance and the

transfer of this fund to your Account.
Utmost confidentiality and trust is highly needed. All
your replies should be strictly on my alternative
e-mail address(johnsonetete@yahoo.co.uk). This
transaction is 100% risk free and does not depend on
any specific field of trade.
