Subject: GOOD AND SECURE ACCOUNT NEEDED URGENTLY
Dear Sir/Madam,
I wish to solicit your partnership as the Chief
Accountant of the Liquefied Natural Gas company to
transfer for safe keeping, the sum of US$21.5Million.
We have carefully uncovered and mapped-out this
whopping sum after scrutinizing all records and
accounts of Awarded and executed contracts of the
company (LNG) since the inception of democracy in
Nigeria from 1999 to date.
It might interest you to know that the Liquefied
Natural Gas company came into full working capacity
during the inception of the current civilian
dispensation at a working/asset capacity of
US$3Billion and will defiantly gulp more than
US$2Billion on the completion of the fifth part. You
can authentically apply for supply if it interest you
to be our client with full guarantee from me.However,
the money US$21.5M has been approved for payment by
the board of this company, Federal ministry of Finance
(endorsed by the Accountant General of the Federation)
and to be paid by the Apex bank of Nigeria under
contract number LNG/FGN/FMF/CB/C987/02.
As top civil servant, we are not authorized to operate
foreign bank account and in view of the recent call
for 100% resource control by people of the south-south
region of the country (which might break the country),
we decided to use your account on full trust and
confidence to transfer this money outside the country.
This is the only way we can secure something for
ourselve in the event that the country eventually
break-up into different nations at the end of the
on-going political conference.
We have accepted to reward you with 15% of the total
sum for your effort if you accept to be our foreign
partner. Also note that the deal is absolutely risk
free and can be concluded within a short period of
about two weeks. I will provide further details upon
receipt of your positive reply (which should include
your private telephone number) via my private email:
isajafaru1@hotmail.com
Please keep this correspondence very secret due to our position as very top officials of this firm and
because we are from the northern region of the
country.
Yours faithfully,
ISA JAFARU
