Dear Business Partner,

With due regards, I take the liberty to contact you for an urgent business transaction which will be of immense benefit to all parties concerned. I am Shukri Ghanem Libyan National Oil Corporation Chairman and CEO.
My committee has the responsibility for the recommendation and award of contracts and supplies for the NOC. In the course of our assignment, we did over-inflate the contracts for some supplies to the NOC as a result of which the sum of £20.8m (Twenty million and Eight Hundred Thousand Pounds Sterlings) is now outstanding. The original contractors who executed the jobs have since been fully paid off, leaving this outstanding sum. Unfortunately, we as civil servants are not allowed to own or operate a foreign account and it is also not possible for us to withdraw the money here locally.
We therefore need your kind assistance to transfer this outstanding sum of money to your account anywhere very safe. We shall compensate you with 25% of the funds for your assistance after the transfer. We the officials here shall have 65% while 10% will be set aside for any incidental expenses.
Please note that this transaction is absolutely risk-free on both sides since we are using our positions to facilitate it. All logistics has been carefully mapped out for a hitch free transaction. The new political dispensation in Libya has given a most auspicious environment to do the transaction and all the record will be removed and destroyed immediately after the transfer. We however demand that you keep the transaction to yourself only until the funds arrive in your account.
You need to send us urgently your full name, address, country of residence for the quick transfer of the fund. As soon as we receive this, we shall commence the process and it is expected to take 5 working days for the complete transfer to be effected. Send your response to my e-mail address below and include your private Tel/Fax number for ease of communication.

Yours sincerely,
Dr. Shukri Ghanem
Libyan National Oil Corporation
