I am DANIEL AMACHREE the chairman of the contract award committee of the
petroluem and natural resources ministry here in Nigeria, for security reasons,
I may not wish to disclose how I got your email address for now.
After due deliberation with my partner, I decided to forward to you this
business proposal, we want you to assist us receive the sum of
Twenty eight million, six hundred thousand united state bills
(us28.6m) into your account. This fund resulted from an over-invoiced contract
awarded by us under the budget allocation to my ministry and the bill was
approved for payment by the concerned ministries. The contract was executed,
commissioned and the contractor was paid his actual cost of the contract.
Now, we are left with the balance of us28.6m as the over invoiced amount,
which we have deliberately over estimated for our own use. Please note that
the law forbids civil servants to operate or own foreign accounts hence this
contact, we have agreed to share the money in the following percentages:
30 for you, 60 for us 10 for tax as may be required by your government.
Note that this transaction is very much free from all sorts of risk hence
the business was carefully planned before it was successfully executed and
we the officials involved in the deal have put many years in service to our
ministry. We have been exercising patience for this privilege for so long
not until the presidential announcement last week, that all foreign contractors
owed be paid forthwith, this will enable the presidency reconcile our debt
ratio with the outside world and to most of us, this is a lifetime blessing
we cannot afford to miss. Upon indication of your interest to fully co-operate
with us, a payment application/information form will be sent to you via email
for completion.
Note that the following information: a) bankers name and address, b) account
number and account name and c) your private phone number and email address
will enable us seek/secure approval of the fund from the concerned government
quarters/ministries within 3-4 banking days.
As soon as we confirm receipt of this money in your nominated bank account,
my partner and I will come over to your country to arrange for our own share
and possibly invest part of this money in your country.
Let honesty and trust be our watchword throughout this transaction. I shall
furnish you with some details about myself. Your prompt reply will be highly
appreciated.
Best regards.
DR DANIEL AMACHREE.
(CHAIRMAN CAC NNPC)
