Dear Sir
MUTUAL BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP-STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL.
I am Dr, Peri Williams, the chief accountant of The Nigeria National Petroleum
Corporation (NNPC) and I head a five man tender board in charge of contract
award and payment approvals.I came to know of you in my search for a reliable
person to handle a very confidential transaction which involves the transfer
of a huge sum of money to a foreign account.
There were series of contracts executed by a consort ion of multinationals
in the oil industry in favor of Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC)
among which were for the following:
1. The expansion of the pipelines network within for a crude down stream
products distribution and subsequent evacuation which cost $8bUSD(8 Billion
United States Dollars).
2. Contract for the turn around maintenance (TAM) of the various refineries
in the country $115 million Uited States Dollars. The construction of storage
tanks for petroleum products (depots) $190 Million United States Dollars.
The original value of these contracts were deliberately over invoiced in
the sum $69mUSD (sixty nine Million United States Dollars Only) which has
now been approved and is now ready to be transferred, being that the companies
that actually executed these contracts had been fully paid when the projects
were officially commissioned.
It does not matter whether your company's did the contract or not, the assumption
is that your company won the major contract and sub-contracted it out to
other companies.
Consequently, my colleagues and I are willing to transfer the total amount
to your account for subsequent disbursement, since we as civil servants
are prohibited by the code of conduct bureau (civil service laws) from opening
and or operating foreign accounts in our names. Needless to say, the trust
imposed on you at this junction is enormous.
In return, we have agreed to offer you 20% of the transferred sum, while
5% shall be set aside for incidental expenses (internal and external) between
the parties in the course of the transaction, and the remaining 75% is for
us,the Nigerian officials.
Modalities have been worked out at the highest level of the ministry of
finance and the central bank of Nigeria for the immediate transfer of the
fund within 14 working days subject to your satisfaction of the above stated
terms.
Our assurance is that your role is risk free,I accord this transaction the
legality it deserves and for mutual security of the fund,the whole approval
procedures will be officially and legally processed with the name of any
company you may nominate as the bona fide beneficiary of the above mentioned
amount.
Therefore, when the business is successfully concluded we shall through
our same connections withdraw all documents used from all the concerned
government ministries for 100% security risk free.
Once more, I want you to understand that having put in over 19 years in
the civil service of my country, I am very careful to have my image and
career deemed.
Please contact me immediately through E-mail whether you are interested
in this deal or not, if you are not, it will enable us scout for another
foreign partner to carry out this deal but where you are interested send
this required below:
(1)Bank Name(b) Bank Address(c)Swift Code or Routing Number(d) Account number(e)
Account Holder or Name
(2)Your Company Name:which We are going to register a choice company name
in order to execute this transaction perfectly. As soon as this information
is received, I will bring you to the complete picture of this transaction
and as well educate you on the procedures to assure us success at the end.
Send by Email for security reasons.
Thanks as I await in anticipation for your fullest co-operation.
Very truly yours,
Dr.Peri Williams
