ATTN:PRESIDENT/CEO
Dear sir/Madam,
I am ALHAJI AHMED BELLO,the chief Project Account of Nigeria National
Petroleum Corporation (NNPC)Headquarters in Lagos,Nigeria.I reliably got
your contact from Nigeria Chamber of Commernce.I have no reason to doubt
your honesty and credibility hence i made this proposal to you even
though we are not personally acquainted.Please treat with utmost
confidence and excuse me for the embarrassment this mail might cause you.
ORIGIN OF THE FUND:
I have the mandate of my colleagues in office to solicit your
assistance for a dael we want to execute.My co-opeartion (NNPC)awarded a
contract of $86.700,000.00(EIGHTY-SIX MILLION,SEVEN HUNDRED THOUSAND U.S
DOLLARS) to a foreign frim to supply Rig and Drilling Equipments for
Kaduna Refinary here in Nigeria. But due to my position,this contract was
over invoiced to $115.300,000.00 (ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTEEN MILLION,THREE
HUNDRED THOUSAND U.S DOLLARS).The original contract sum has been paid to
the contractors that executed the projects now we are left the over
invoice sum of $28.600,000.00 (TWENTY-EIGHT MILLION,SIX HUNDRED THOUSAND
U.S DOLLARS).
All arrengements have been perfected on how this money would be
remitted into your account.Our constraint lies on the fact that will
required a foreign firm or individual account number where the money will
be paid into,whose owner will act as the beneficiary of the contract
fund.In fact, this is why i am sending you this mail.
SHARING MODALITIES:
As a civil servant,we are aware that some financial assistance would be
required to conclude this transaction,we are prepared to give you as much
as 40% to the account owner and as acting as the beneficiary of this
fund.Again,10% is being map-out,to be earmarked to cover all the
expencess (BOTH LOCAL & INTERNATIONAL)which will be refunded at the
successful transfer of the money.Then 50%will be for us. This is because
the process would pass through some directors in the Ministry Of Finance
and Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN). This officials might require some tips
to facilitate payment without delay since they are not aware of the deal.
REQUIEMENTS:
Please,should you be willing to assist?, will require some of the
following information to enable us put claims immediately,Your Bank
name,Address and Account number,Fax number of the bank/telex bank number,
sorting/routing code number where the money will be transfer into, and

receiv this money on our behalf and that you will release our own share
of the money at the successful transfer of the money.You are strongly
advice with a third party as that party could jeopardise the enterie
transaction.It is important that i mention the official involved in this
transaction are top Governments functionarise who have put in years of
service in their various parastatals.
Please be inform that the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT OF NIGERIA through the
Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and (NNPC)have in the recent time carried
out the publication aimed at discouraging foreigners from assisting the
top Government officials from accumulating money Abroad, please do not
get worried whenever you come across such publication.
Thanking you in anticipation of your co-operation,
