PERMISSION TO REMIT US $21 MILLION INTO YOUR COMPANY OR
PRIVATE ACCOUNT.
It is my pleasure to write and inform you of a transaction
involving the transfer of US21,000,000.00 (twenty one
million US dollars) only into a foreign account for
safekeeping pending my arrival with my colleagues for the
sharing with you as the account owner into which the money
is remitted.
I am an accountant with the Nigerian National Petroleum
Corporation (NNPC), Lagos and this money originated from
over-invoiced contract executed for the corporation some
years back. This contract has long been completed by a
foreign firm and the contractor duly paid. I now seek if
you would permit the surplus to be remitted into your
account. As a matter of fact, we are top government
officials and we cannot come out openly to claim this
amount.
This is why we are looking fora competent and honest
company or individual abroad whose documents would be
tendered by us here in Nigeria as one of the contractors
that executed the project. However, I would wish to receive
your personal assurance that you would not sit on the money
when it goes into your account. More importantly, you keep
confidential this transaction, in order not to tarnish the
confidence repose in the officials involved in this
transaction. To effect this transfer, I therefore request
the following:
YOUR ACCOUNT NUMBER, THE NAME OF YOUR BANK. WHERE THE MONEY
WOULD BE TRANSFERRED INTO AND ALSO YOUR PRIVATE FAX AND
TELEPHONE NUMBERS FOR QUICK COMMUNICATION.
So far, after due consultations, you were strongly and
reliably recommended to us although we have not met or
entered into any kind of contract with you before as to
know the extent of your honesty, but based on the
recommendations, I personally want to believe that you are
honest enough and would not sit on the money if finally got
into your account. It is on this note that I consider it
proper to write you asking for your permission and support
to transfer this amount into your account.
You should not fear any risk because we have concluded
arrangement to save guide you in the transaction. This
business is 100% risk free. Hence it requires high level of
confidence and secrecy. Meanwhile this is the breakdown of
the sharing modalities:
(A). 10% WILL BE USED TO SETTLE TRANSFER CHARGES AND LEGAL
PROTOCOLS. (B). 30% IS FOR USING YOUR ACCOUNT. (C). 60% OF
IT WILL BE FOR US THE ORIGINATORS.
Be informed that on completion of this business I will use
part of my money to invest in your country under your care.
Please note that the transfer operation will take seven to
ten working days to be completed. Please contact me by the
above e-mail
please reply in this E-mail: ubah_med1@yahoo.com
Thanks.
Musa Bello.
