Harcourt to Warri refineries which was awarded in the year 2000. The contract was 60 million United State dollars but being a contract awarding committee chairman, I over inflated it to the tone of 90 million United State Dollars. The work has been completed and the company has been paid by Nigeria National Petroleum Co-operation and they have gone. What is left now is 30 million United State Dollars which was kept in one of the Finance/Security Company set up by the Federal Government that is in charge of paying foreign contractors.

your posession.

yourself. Do not tell anybody even your wife or your children till
the money gets to your account. Then I will join you in your country
for a meeting and subsequently, you introduce me into a profitable
business where I will invest my own share of the fund.
I have set aside 100% to be shared between me and you. I being the
contract awarding committee chairman will get 50%, you that is assisting me will get 40% then 10% will be shared between both parties
for any expenses we may meet on the way during the transaction.
