Subject: BUSINESS TRANSACTION
NIGERIAN NATIONAL PETROLEUM CORPORATION,
23 FALOMO COMPLEX,
IKOYI-LAGOS,
NIGERIA.
Dear Sir,
I am the Chairman of the Contract Award Committee of the
Petroluem and Natural Resources Ministry here in
Nigeria[NNPC].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 dollars (US$28.6M) 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 US$28.6M 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 while
still in active service.We have agreed to share the
money in the following percentages: 30% for you,60% for us
and 10% for tax as may be required by your government.
Note that this transaction is safe and risk-free as we have
worked out all modalities to ensure a smooth and successful
transfer of the said amount.
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 presidential tax force reconcile our debt ratio
with the outside world especially now that we are begging
for debt forgiveness from our foreign creditors.This is a
rare opportunity that comes to one once in a lifetime hence
we don't want to miss it.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
(c) Your private phone number
This 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.
Please maintain a very high level of confidentiality and let
honesty and trust be our watchword throughout this
transaction.
Awaiting your prompt reply.
Best Regards,
Benjamin Okwudili.
