Subject: If you are interested in the proposal,
From Engr. Benard Otti.
Chairman NNPC Contract Award Committee
Nigerian National Petroleum Corp
Falomo - Victoria Island Lagos.
Dear Friend,
URGENTLY AND EXTREMELY CONFIDENTIAL
By introduction, I am Benard Otti and the Chairman of the Tender Board Committee which awards contract in the Department of Petroleum Resources of Nigeria between 1999-2009. If this email finds you well, it is not an intention to offend you in any way if this violate your ethics and values but rather to inform you of our plan to transfer the sum of USD$8.6Million (Eight Million, Six Hundred Thousand US Dollars only) to your account.
I want you to know that these funds originated from an Over-invoiced contract sum which was awarded to a foreign firm in 2001. I and my other colleagues in the Tender Board purposely inflated the actual cost of the contract with the extra value of USD$8.6 Million. 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 which is US$8.6 Million. 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.
We are Civil Servants and by law, we are not allowed to operate foreign bank account while still in office, and also the fund must be paid into an account belonging to a foreigner(Contractor) so you are to act as the one who had executed the contract worth the sum of USD$8.6 Million for my Department and you now want your payment settled.
Remarkably, this deal is 100% risk free. We are perfectly in charge and had worked out modalities that would guarantee a hitch free transfer of this fund to your account fully free of any illegal act or encumbrances and are clean, clear and non-criminal origin. I will guide you on how to go about it and we shall claim the fund without any difficulty.
If you are interested in the proposal, and you are a trustworthy person who would not sit on this money if it is transferred into your account, kindly indicate by contacting me through my E-mail . Please note that this deal must be kept absolutely confidential till we have concluded it. We propose that 35% of the total sum for you for your help and any out of pocket money you may spend in the cause of this transaction while the remaining is for me and my colleagues.
Thank you as I look forward to your anticipated co-operation.
Yours faithfully,
From Engr. Benard Otti
