My Dear,
I am Alh. Ibrahim D. Waziri the GED, Corporate Services, Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation [NNPC]. I sent you this email to inform you of our plan to transfer the sum of US$12,500,000.00 (Twelve Million, Five Hundred Thousand US Dollars only) to your account. I want you to know that this funds originated from an Over-invoiced contract sum which was awarded to a foreign firm involving the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation(NNPC) However, the original contractor has fully executed the contract, the project commissioned and the contractor paid his actual contract worth, leaving behind the over-invoiced sum. So, it is based on this that we now want you/your company to come forward to stand in and claim this sum on our behalf.
I have made proper arrangement/documentation to transfer the sum of US$12,500,000.00) which is retained in a coded account of the NNPC with a Bank here in Nigeria. We are soliciting that you help us to receive the fund in trust. We cannot complete this transaction smoothly without the participation of a foreign partner who would provide an account where the funds could be lodged. Since it is a contract payment,the funds must be remitted to a foreign account. Also people in such position are not permitted by the Nigerian Civil Service law to own or operate foreign accounts while still in service. The remittance of the funds requires little documentation that would be completed as soon as you provide us with a secured bank account where you may wish to receive the money. I can conviniently assure you that all modalites have been put in place for a smooth transaction that is absolutely risk-free as long as you give us maximum cooperation to make this a success.
There is no risk involved on your part in this transaction since my colleagues and I have covered this transaction with adequate contract and external credit documents from the beginning. What we require from you is a reliable Bank Account where the fund will be paid into, presumably an empty bank account.(i.e. personal or company's account. YOU SHOULD TELL US WHAT PERCENTAGE (%) OF THIS MONEY US$12,500,000.00) YOU WOULD LIKE TO TAKE AFTER THE TRANSFER TO YOUR BANK ACCOUNT. Also we should like to invest our own share of the money in investment projects: Real Estate Properties, Tourism, Hotel business in your country. Please reply urgently via my e-mail and send me your direct phone number as we expect that the transaction will not take more than ten working days. And please note that this transaction must be TOP SECRET & CONFIDENTIAL.
Best Regards,Alh. Ibrahim D. Waziri
