of priority as regard capital projects of the NNPC.

The information we gathered from the Foreign Office ofthe Nigeria Chambers
of Commerce and Industries is so positive as to convince us that you could
provide us with solution to a money transfer deal valued at Thirty One Million
United States Dollars and subsequently a joint business venture.In the course
of our duties as values, and project inspectors for the on-going liquefied
Natural Gas(LNG) project, we have over-invoiced the value of some jobs done
by foreign contractors for the NNPC to the tune of US$31M.As follows:Computer
optimization and Installation $16,000.000.00 Installation of 250,000.00,Monax
turbine $10,000.000.00,Turn round Maintenance $5,000,000.00 Our aim of over-invoicing
this payment is to divert the excess amount to a discrete account abroad.This
fund is now floating in suspense account at the Central Bank of Nigeria(CBN).
This is the fund my myself and colleagues have decided to transfer into your
account since we, as civil servants are not allowed to operate or own foreign
account.The money will be shared as follows after transfer : 30% for you
(Account Owner) 60% for me and my colleagues,10% for reimbursement for both
local and international expenses that Would be incurred in the course of
this transaction. To be able to claim the funds, we will be purporting your
name and a company name to be the original contractor/ beneficiary of the
funds so that all procedures for international transfer shall be strictly
followed,as we have worked out all modalities for a swift and riskfree transfer.
If this proposal satisfies you, please contact me through dr_zakaka10@yahoo.co.in,
with the following mportant information.Your Bank Name / Address Account
Name ,Account NumberTel/Fax Telex of Bank,with your Personal Phone/Fax Numbers
for easy communication. This transaction will last for 7 working days from
the time we submit the required information,as all modalities concerning
this transaction have been worked out and it is completely risk free.
