My dear,
I have decided to contact you by E-mail due to the
urgency of this transaction. Let me start by introducing myself
properly to you. I am Jackson E. Gaius-Obaseki Group Managing Director,
of NNPC/SHELL petroleum development cooperation in joint venture
(NNPC/SPDC).
I got your contact through the world trade encyclopedia, while
searching for a reliable and reputable person to handle this
transaction, which involves the transfer of the sum of (12.2 million
United States dollars) to a reliable account abroad. Your role
became paramount due to the fact that there are lots of restrictions
binding civil servants here and we are not allowed to operate
foreign accounts.
This amount was secured from excess oil sales from
Nigeria crude oil. The sum of $1.2 billion oil windfall was released by
the NNPC and shell petroleum development company for the month of
august 2002 by The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries
(OPEC). Crude oil price was peg at $22.00 per barrel and fortunately
for oil producing countries like Nigeria, there was rises in oil price
to about $27.00 and $28.00 per barrel and as a result there was excess
oil sales and I believe you would be aware of this rise in Oil price in
last two years. Out of this $1.2 billion excess oil funds, my
colleagues and myself Because of our position in the NNPC and shell
Petroleum Development Company diverted the sum of (12.2 million United
States dollars), we want to transfer into your account, which is in
the excess crude oil sales.
Your Role.
To enable the bank transfer this US$85m secured into
your bank account, You will be acting as one of our contractor
who have executed a government contract here in Nigeria and beneficiary
of the funds, and this money will be paid In your favor. I will guide
you on how we will achieve this. Note, the reason for the transfer of
these (12.2 million United States dollars) into your account is because
of our incapability as Government officials to own a foreign account.
All the necessary documentation for the facilitation
and approval of this fund into your Account will be carefully taken
good care of hence we are involved. This business we assure you is 100%
risk free As all the modalities for the smooth transfer of this fund
into your Account will be monitored.

for your assistance. To enable us proceed with this business.
Your urgent respond is highly needed for the way forward.
