Attn:

Sir/Madam,
I am Mr. Julius S. Abiola, the Chief Accountant
Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC)
headquarters in
Lagos, Nigeria. I reliably got your contact from
Nigeria Chamber of Commerce. I have no reason to doubt
your honesty and credibility hence I make this proposal
to you. Please,treat with utmost confidence and excuse
me for the
embarrassment this letter might cause you as we have
not met or known each other before.
I have the mandate of my colleagues in office to
solicit your assistance for a deal we want to execute.
My
Corporation (NNPC) awarded a contract of
US$86,700,000.00(Eight six Million, Seven hundred
Thousand U.S Dollars) to a foreign firms to supply Rig
& Drilling Equipment for
Kaduna Refinery here in Nigeria, but because of my
position, this contract was over invoiced to
US$115,300,000.00 (One Hundred and Fifteen Million,
Three Hundred Thousand United State Dollars). The
original
contract sum has been paid to the contractor that
executed the project, now we are left with the over -
invoice sum of US$28,600,000.00 (Twenty Eight
Million,Six Hundred Thousand U.S Dollars Only).
All arrangments have been concluded on how this money
wouldm be moved. Our constraints lie on the fact that
we required a foreign firm or individual account number
where the money will paid into; whose owner will be
portrayed as a contract beneficiary of fund. Infact
this is why I am writting you this letter of proposal.
NOTE:- There is no risk involved as we have taken care
and secure the loopholes covered. As a civil servant,
we are aware that some financial assistance would be
required to conclude this job, we are prepared to give
as much as 30% of the total sum to whoever that is
willing to assist,
while 65% of the total sum will go for me and my
colleagues.To this effect, 5% would be earmarked to
cover all the
expenses (Local and International). This is because the
process would pass through some Directors in the
Ministry of Finance and Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).
These
officers might require some tips to facilitate payment
without delay since they are not aware of the deal.
Please, should you be willing to assist, we shall
require the following information immediately to enable
us put
claim immediately. Your Bank Name, Address and Account
Number, Fax number or the Bank where the money will be
transfered into.
You would be required to meet face to face with
the officials involved. But should you not be in a
position to
assist, this deal has to remain a secret till the end
of
the time. It is important I mention that the officials
involved in this transaction are top Government
Functionaries who have put in years of services to this
Country. For the maintenance of personal integrity and
prestige of all persons involved in this transaction.
You
are implored to exhibit utmost secrecy throughout the
duration of this transaction. You are strongly advise
to
aviod discussing this transaction with a third party as
that could jeopardise the entire transaction.
You may open a seperate Bank Account in any Country for
this purpose if you wish. All arrangements for this
transfer for this first quarter payment for the year,
2005
has been properly organised and further action on
onward
payment awaits your immediate response. Hurry and send
to
me the details of your account number where the money
will
be transfer and remit into so that we can start to
process
for the approval of this payment. Please you can reply
through my personal e-mail account or my alternative

agreement
