Attn:
Dear,
I am Dr.Mike Ike, Project Director and Chairman of the Tender
Committee of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC). My
Committee is principally concerned with payment of all contract awarded
from 1998 to date, in order of priority as regard capital projects of
the NNPC. You can visit the website below:
( www.nigerianoil-gas.com/upstream/nnpc.htm)
The information we gathered from the Foreign Office of the 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 ($31,000,000) 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 your 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 risk free transfer. If this proposal satisfies you, please contact me
through my alternative email address:

with the following important informations.
1. Your full name and address Which I will use to procure the
documents in your name.
2. Your Banking informations were the fund will be transfered into.

the time we submit the required information, as all modalities
concerning this transaction have been worked out and it is completely risk
free
and legal.Please be informed that this subject is classified sensitive.

treat the transaction with utmost confidentiality and urgency. I wait
for your reply.
