Subject: A RELIABLE PARTNER
CONTRACTS VERIFICATION N. N. P. C
ATTN: PRESIDENT/CEO
Dear Sir/Madam,
l am Dr Mallam Galadima., the contracts verification manager of Nigeria
National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), Because of my position and that of
other strategic officials who are heads in their Departments, we have in our
possession, since 2001 the sum of US$400M Dolllars (Four hundred million
United States Dollars) which we emassed through over invoicing of foreign
contracts fully executed and commissioned with the different foreign
contractors duely paid their full contract amounts.
We have made several fruitless moves to transfer this fund abroad for our
mutual benefits. One in 2002 when one Mr. Patrice Miller of the United
States of America, living at No 10, West 54th Street, New York, ran away
with our US$65M Dollars after the fund has been transfered into his account.
lt was unbelievable, shocking and hypertensive that when we went there to
claim our share of the fund, we were told that nobody with that name was
living in that house and that the former occupant of the flat moved away few
weeks ago to an unkown house. This is how we lost US$65M Dollars to the
heartless Patrice Miller.
The second attempt was when in 2003, we decided to carry US$50M dollars in
cash through the Lagos lnternational Airport but was stopped by the Nigerian
Custom Officers who seized the fund till date . This is how we lost another
US$50M Dollars to the Nigerian Custom.
Following the peaceful life ushered in by the current democratic
dispensation in Nigeria, l and my colleages have decided to transfer the sum
of US$22M (Twenty Two Million dollars) into a foreign account operated by a
foreigner for our mutual benefits. By this letter, l request your assistance
in transferring and safeguarding the sum of US$22M Dollars for our mutual
benefits.
For assisting us in transferring and safeguarding this fund, you will be
entitled to 35% of the total sum 5% will be set aside for charity and
philantropic purposes 57% belongs to me and my colleagues while 3% will go
for reimbursement of all expenses made by both parties. However, l want you
to be human and humane so that you do not become this second Patrice Miller
of the United States. lt is imperative to note that this transaction is
riskfree as all modalities for the successful transfer of this fund have
been perfected by my colleagues in the relevant ministries.
However, we should see absolute confidentiality as our watchword throughout
the course of this transaction for we are civil servants and will equally
not like the 2002 event to redramatise itself.
l will not be ungrateful if you can urgently furnish me with your private
telephone, fax and mobile numbers and name of beneficiary with the telex
numbers of the receiving bank. These will enable us speed up the claim of
the fund and eventual transfer into your nominated account. Kindly reply me
via this alternative email address:mallamgaladima@myway.com
Looking forward to hear from you soonest.
Dr.Mallam Galadima.
