Subject: UNPAID CONTRACT/INHERITANCE BENEFICIARIES FUND.

Greetings

           UNPAID CONTRACT/INHERITANCE BENEFICIARIES FUND.
 
 
 
I pray this mail finds you in good health. Please, pay attention to the contents of this mail. I represent members of the Contract Tender Committee appointed by the Federal Government of Nigeria for Contract Award/Payment Approvals in the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC).Our duties include among other things Evaluation, Reviewing & Payment Approval of Contracts within the NNPC (Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation)
 
On the 11th of December,2001,this Committee Awarded a Contract, valued at $610 Million United States Dollars to the Consortium of Abblummus Construction Ltd,J.G.C.Corporation of Japan and a joint venture of Spiebatignoles and Fouguerolle,for a turn around maintenance and repairs of the three major Refineries in Nigeria which have been totally dilapidated and malfunctioning since 1995.However, my colleagues and I decided to over-inflate the Contract Sum to the tune of $640 Million U S Dollars with the intention of benefiting from the windfall of $30 Million U S Dollars at the end.
 
The Federal Government has recently approved the total Contract Value as recommended by our Committee. The sum of $320 Million United States Dollars being the half of the Contract Sum has also been approved as initial payment to the Companies concerned, this payment will serve as mobilization fee to the Contractors to enable them start work. The other half of the Contract value will be paid at the completion of Contract or as the Contract progresses.
 
As we prepare to disburse this fund to the Contractors and since each of the Companies will only benefit from the $310 Million U S Dollars, due to them as originally appraised, we wish to apply the remaining vote of U S Dollars $15 Million to you as a Subcontractor. This way, we can safely authorize for the transfer of the $15 Million U S Dollars to your account overseas. But we need a strong assurance that the money will be safe in your hands My colleagues and I have resolved that, should you agree to front as the beneficiary of this fund of $15 Million U S Dollars now available to us, we will reward you with 30% of the total fund transferred to your account.60% will be for us, and 10% will be reserved to offset any bill or expenses possibly to be incurred by both sides during the course of the transaction.
 
This ratio shall also apply on the second installment of $15 Million U S Dollars which will come immediately after this one has been pulled over. It may interest you to know that 3 years ago, a similar deal was carried with one Mr. Ted Miller, the president of Craine International Trading Corporation, whose last known address was 135 East 57th Street , New York N/ Y 10022 , United States of America , with telephone
 
 
number (212)308-7788 and telex number 6731689. We both reached an agreement that he will earn 20% of the Fund to be transferred to his account. But sadly enough, Mr. Miller disappeared when he saw that all the required documents have been signed and the money duly transferred into his account. We were only disappointed on our arrival in New York when we aguishly discovered that Mr. Ted Miller was no longer at the address we knew him to be, as his telephone and fax numbers was no longer functional. Efforts to trace him remained abortive till today. That was how we lost $27 Million U S D to Mr. Ted Miller. 
 
This time around, we need a strong assurance that you will not double-cross as Mr. Miller did. We would prefer, should you agree that the fund is wired to a reputable Company's account or alternatively paid to you via (ATM) Automated Teller MACHINE MASTER CARD FACILITY?This is the reason of my letter to you. Please be informed that the personalities involved in this transaction are top and influential Government Functionaries who would not like any stain or
 
I insinuated within me that the reason why Mr. Ted Miller disappeared with the said fund maybe because of  some money he incurred during the course  of this transaction ten, in the light of this, I am afraid if you will do the same to us when the fund is transferred to you?.
Exposure and as such we would want you to keep this business top Secret and Confidential till the fund enter into your account.
 
Kindly get back to me for further explanation. God bless you as you accept to share this with us.

Regards
Mr. Steve Williams
