REQUEST FOR YOUR UNRESERVED ASSISTANCE
Forgive my indignation if this message comes to you asa surprise and if
it might offend you without your prior consent and writing through this
channel.I am SIR.ADEBAYO FUNSO The Secretary, of the Contract Award Committee(CAC)
of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation(NNPC).
I got your contact through my country's foreign trade mission after I was
convinced in my mind that you or your company can act as the beneficiary
of the USD25,500,000.00 (Twenty Five Million Five hundred thousand United
States Dollars only) Which we intend to transfer into a foreign account.
This funds was a residue of the over invoiced contract bills dicovered by
my committee during the course of verifying the contract for the TURN AROUND
MAINTENANCE (TAM) of our Refineries in WARRI, PORT-HARCOURT and KADUNA and
also the Supply of hard/soft wares, pharmaceuticals/medical items, light
and heavy duty vehicles, apparels and other administrative logistics for
the NNPC.
Therefore, we have resolved to go into partnership with you to transfer
the sum of US$25.5m into your account, by awarding your company an invented
contract to the tune of US$25.5m. While we must carry out proper documentation
to ensure that this is 100% risk-free for you and all the legal requirements
are met. It is however agreed, as the account owner in this deal to allow
you 20% of the entire sum as compensation, 70% will be held on trust for
us while 10% will be used to defray any incidental charges and costs during
the course of the transaction. This transaction will be successfully concluded
within 14 Bank Working days. If you accord to us your unalloyed and due
cooperation. Be rest assured that this proposal is 100% risk-free and please,
keep his very confidential, as we are still civil servants in active service
and ,are bounded by the civil service commission acts of Nigeria. This acts
Prohibits Civil Servants (like us) from owning/operating foreign accounts.This
is the only reason we contacted you and where you come into this transaction.
Finally,I wish to assure you that all the machinery and logistics that will
ensure a successful and smooth transfer have been put in place. Since we
are going to use our connections in the Federal Ministry of Finance (FMF)
and the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to effect the immediate transfer of
the funds.
Please endeavor to reply for a more detailed information.I anticipate your
urgent response.
Thank you and God bless you.
SIR. ADEBAYO FUNSO(Order of the Federal Republic)
