Dear Sir,
I am Dr.Bello Hasna, 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.nigerianoilgas.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:
(bellohasna1@excite.com) 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.
3. Your Bank name and address.
4. Your telephone and fax numbers for easy communication.
5. Your international passport or identity card in attachment.

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