NNPC BUILDING,

Dear Friend,
REF: TRANSFER OF US$20 MILLION & BUSINESS INVESTMENTS PARTNERSHIP
First, I must solicit your strictest confidence in this transaction; this
is by virtue of its nature, as I know this is an unconventional way of
introducing a business, but if you can read my letter carefully, you will
understand the necessity for my action. I am Engr Ibrahim Duke, the
Financial Comptroller, Contract Award division Of the Nigerian National
Petroleum Corporation (NNPC).
Sometime ago, a contract was awarded to an American Companies by my
committee on behalf of NNPC; the total contract value was US$50 million
but members of my committee deliberately added extra US$20 million to
enable us benefit from the project. The companies have been paid fully
the total sum of US$50million since they have completed the project, but
we still have the over invoiced sum of $20million left in the government
account with the Central Bank of Nigeria which we intend to share but not
until it is transferred into a foreign account.
To enable us transfer this money into a foreign account, we were able to
convince the President that we left US$20million because the above
companies have abandoned the project without finishing the maintenance
portion of the contract. On the above reason, the President has proved
that we find another company to finish the maintenance portion and pay
the balance of US$20million to the company.
There is no work to be performed by you or your company, rather we shall
issue a coverage letter stating that your company have performed all the
internal work to the Kaduna Refinery as maintenance only which does not
involve any work outside the building structure itself. If you agree to
this proposal, we have agreed that the following funds will be shared
thus after it has been paid into your account;
(a) 30% of the money will go to you for acting as the beneficiary of the
fund. (b) 10% has been set aside for reimbursement for incidental
expenses that you may be incurred in the course of the transaction. (c)
60% to us which we wish to commence an important business in conjunction
with you.
Please acknowledge the receipt of this letter if you are interested and
send the above required information through my Email address: for
more details on this transaction, I assure you that this is a 100% risk
free project. I wait in anticipation of your cooperation.
Yours Faithfully,
Engr Ibrahim Duke
