DEAR SIR
Compliments of the season I hope this message will reach you in
the best of health and receive your prompt attention even as
we have not had any previous correspondence before However kindly
reach me immediately for details should you agree to its content
I am a Principal Accountant and the Chairman of the Federal Tenders
Board Committee to the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation
NNPC This message is to solicit for your kindness in assisting
me to transfer some amount of fund from my country to your country
The total amount of fund is thirty-six Million United
States Dollars which resulted from various contracts awarded
by my ministry to some foreign firms in which the contract bills
were slightly inflated by us members of the Tenders Committee
with the sole aim of having the excess fund for our subsequent
use Presently all the foreign firms that executed the projects
concerned have been paid their bills accordingly and the projects
have been commissioned for use At this juncture we now want
to claim and transfer the excess fund using a foreign company
since foreign contractors performed the original contracts Also
we as civil servants are not allowed to operate domiciliary nor
foreign account therefore we cannot claim this fund locally
hence the necessity for this contact with you We have decided
to embark on this transaction now that we have a new civilian
government
Our aim is to present your name as a true beneficiary of the fund
The total fund will then be remitted into any designated
Bank Account as shall be recommended by you The relevant authorities
will be made to believe that your company performed some contracts
for my ministry to which payment is due to be effected In this
regard therefore you will be required to present a suitable Bank
Account that will conveniently accommodate the total amount of
fund The moment the Bank Account details are received from you
it will take a maximum duration of 10 bank working days to
have all documentation compiled and the fund remitted to your
account On completion of the transaction we have resolved to
give you 30% of the fund for your efforts and assistance rendered
10% will be used to settle all imminent expenses associated in
the course of this transaction while 60% will be for us Please
advice if on the contrary I will be disposed to giving details
of this proposal as soon as I receive your confirmation signifying
your interest in this proposal and your willingness to assist
in its realization Please send me a MAIL on the above address
for more details on how we shall commence the whole transaction
Permit me to stress the confidential nature of this transaction
It absolutely free from all sorts of risk and does not depend
on any particular field of trade to prosecute Above all trust
and honesty must be our watchword throughout Thanks in anticipation
and God bless
