Dear Friend,
My name is Ray Adams. It is my pleasure to write this mail
basically to seek your consent on transaction which involves
transfer of an over-invoiced sum of money from my ministry
to your bank account. The amount involved is US$25million.
I am a member of the Contract Award Committee (CAC) in my
ministry Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC). The
amount was intentionally over-invoiced for our benefit. We
have worked carefully to secure the approval of the fund
since the original contract value has been paid on
completion of the contract in 2006. Then the remaining
balance of the US$25million is what we intend to transfer
secretly to you using your bank account details.
The civil service code of conduct does not allow any serving
officer to operate a foreign bank account, we are seriously
handicapped to transfer the fund to an offshore account
hence this contact to you. It is on this basis that I
thought it wisely to use a foreigner to receiver the fund
for our mutual benefit. We shall draw an agreement to back
up this transaction and also to spell out our duties,
sharing modalities and safety of the fund in your bank
account.
If you are interested, please contact me urgently through
the email for us to reason together to get the transaction
realized soon.
Summarily, there is no single risk involve having taken care
of all forms of obstacles that would pose some risks in the
deal. To avoid taking things for granted. The transaction
will be processed legitimately with all legal proof on the
execution of the contract.
I urgently expect your response for more details Via this

Regards
Ray Adams
