Dear Sir,
This letter is not intended to cause any embarrassment in whatever form, rather is intended to contact your esteemed self, following the knowledge of your high repute and trustworthiness. Firstly, I must solicit your confidentiality. I know that a proposal of this magnitude will make anyone apprehensive and worried, but I am assuring you that all will be well at the end of the day.
I am Dr.Karim Fika, and I head a seven man tender board in charge of contract awards and payment approvals. I came to know of you in my search for a reliable and reputable person to handle a very confidential business transaction which involves the transfer of a huge sum of money to foreign account requiring maximum confidence. My colleagues and I are top officials of the NIGERIAN NATIONAL PETROLEUM CORPORATION {NNPC}. Our duties include, vetting, evaluation and foreseeing the maintenance of the refineries in all the designated pipelines. We are therefore soliciting for your assistance to enable us transfer into your account the said funds.
The source of the fund is as follows; during the last democratic government of President Goodluck Jonathan , this committee awarded a contract of US$400 million to a group of five construction companies on behalf of the NIGERIAN NATIONAL PETROLEUM CORPORATION for the construction of the oil pipelines in Kaduna, Port-Harcourt, and Warri refineries. During this process, my colleagues and I deliberately inflated the total contract sum to the tune of US$428million with the intention of sharing the inflated sum of US$28M.
The government has since approved the sum of US$428 for us as the contract sum, but since the contract is only worth US$400million, the remaining US$28million is what we intend to transfer to a reliable and safe offshore account. We are prohibited to operate foreign accounts in our names since we are still in government. Thus, making it impossible for us to acquire this money in our names right now, I have therefore been delegated as a matter of trust by my colleagues, to look for an overseas partner into whose bank account we shall transfer the sum of US$28 million.
My colleagues and I have decided that if you can be the beneficiary of these funds on our behalf, you will retain 20% of the total sum of US$28 million, while 75% will be for us (the officials) and the remaining 5% will be used for offsetting all debts/expenses incurred during this transaction.
We have decided that this transaction can only proceed under the following conditions:
1. That you treat this transaction with utmost secrecy and confidentiality.
2. That upon the receipt of the funds, you will release the funds as will be instructed by us after you have removed your share of 20%.
I will bring you into the nomenclature of this transaction when I have heard from you. Your urgent response will be highly appreciated as we hope to cash in on the next payment schedule of the financial quarter.
Please be assured that this transaction is 100% legal/risk free, only mutual trust and good faith can make this transaction a reality.
Kindly reply me through my personal email: karimfika@yahoo.com
Thank you in anticipation of your kind response.
Best Regards,
Dr.Karim Fika.
