Dear Friend,
I am Engr.Gideon Aghogho, a senior manager, Ministry
of Petroleum and
Natural Resources (MPNR) Lagos,who has been delegated
by my colleagues
to seek the assistance of a reliable foreign company
or individual into
whose bank account we can discreetly transfer the sum
of $16m USD
(Sixteen Million U.S. Dollars Only) under our
perefcted modalities.
These funds arose from a deliberate over-invoicing of
contract bills of
contracts,awarded by the ministry of petroleum and
natural resources
(MP&NR) during the administration of the former
military dictator late,
General Sanni Abacha who died on 7th June 1998. Since
then the money
has
been lying in the suspense account of Ministry of
Petroleum & Natural
Resources with the Central Bank of Nigeria
(CBN)(Government bankers).
However, the current favorable political/Economical
climate in the
country now presents an opportunity for this money to
be Transferred
out of our country without any hitches - as we hope
and believe it
would be of mutual benefit to us all.
Already, we have put in motion the complete machinery
and modalities to
enhance successful commencement and completion of this
transaction and
further actions will commence the moment we hear from
you. We have
agreed that after the transfer of the money into your
account, you shall be
entitled to a cut of the total sum,which will be
arrived at subject to
negotiation.5% is earmarked for reimbursement on minor
incidental
expenses that may be incurred during the course of
this transaction.
Conclusively, the nature of your business is not
particularly relevant
for the success of this transaction. All we require is
your willingness
to co-operate with us,and also an assurance that our
Share of the funds
will be given to us when the money arrives your
account. Most
importantly, we have taken all necessary precautions
to ensure a no
risk situation on the side of both parties as this
transaction is expected
to be through within 7 to 10 working days. Please if
the proposal is
acceptable to you, contact me immediately through this
email address
(g_aghogho@outgun.com)
However,if you are not interested,kindly disregard the
contents of this
letter. It is advisable to include your private
Telephone and Fax
numbers while replying for easy and effective
communication. The trust
we have reposed in you at this point is enormous and
cannot be
over-emphasized.
We await your prompt response to this proposal, so we
can commence
here. Do foward your response to my confidential email
address(g_aghogho@outgun.com)
