ATTENTION!!!
BUSINNESS PROPOSAL
I am Mr. Ovie O. Odafe the Managing Director - Finance with The National Petroleum Investment Management Services Company (NAPIMSC), the upstream arm of the NNPC which oversees the government's investments in the Joint Venture producing companies, (JVC's), and a senior key member of the Federal Contract Award Committee board both to "The NAPIMSC & The NNPC". I do have an urgent need for a trust worthy foreign contact person with whom I can carry out a successful business deal.
Four of our Refineries and one Liquefied Natural Gas Plant have been bad all these years, and now the Present Elected Democratic Government has voted the sum of One Billion, Eighty Six Million United States Of American Dollars for the repairs and turn around maintenance in this year's 2005 budget. In view of this, we have started awarding new contracts to that effect. As an incentive to do a good job and finished promptly, the Federal Government makes 75% upfront payment to successful bidders.
Based on this, we wish to transfer EIGHTY FIVE MILLION AND FIFTY THOUSAND UNITED STATES OF AMERICAN DOLLARS for disbursement that we have just secured access to push out which generates from the OVER INVOICING. But because we are citizen and still working civil servant, we cannot move this money out ourselves. For record purpose and for your information, I must let you know that when I was the Senior General Manager, we had made an attempt before which was an unsuccessful cash movement of "EIGHT HUNDRED MILLION UNITED STATES OF AMERICAN DOLLARS" that was disrupt at the Murtala Mohammed International Airport On August 12, 1995 by the Nigerian Customs and Air- port Security Officials. Now that there is another opportunity, we decide now to carry out this project via TELEGRAPHIC TRANSFER.
At this point in time we therefore need an honest, trustworthy and reliable assistance of a foreigner who will be a kind and honest person to us and will not disappoint us at the end of this transaction ( RECIVING THE FUNDS IN THE PROVIDED ACCOUNT BY HIM TO ME ) . To this, I want you to summit immediately your complete "Company's name and address, your full names as President or Managing Director / C.E.O of the company", your Banking Particulars:- (Bank's Name & Address, Telephone, Fax and Telex numbers. Your Receiving Account Numbers, Swift and Routing Numbers). With this information received from, I can get you properly registered as one of the contractors to NAPIMSC who has already been awarded this contract for the sum of ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTEEN MILLION, FOUR HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED STATES OF AMERICAN DOLLARS to supply, install and service some of the REFINERIES PLANT'S PARTS which documents I already have in my custody.
After receiving the above needed and stated information from you, I will process all the documentation in your name on your behalf through an Attorney, and summit them for immediate approvals, and the Federal Government will pay 75% of the total sum of ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTEEN MILLION, FOUR HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED STATES OF AMERICAN DOLLARS into your given account. In no time, the remaining of the TWENTY EIGHT MILLION, THREE HUNDRED AND FIFTY THOUSAND UNITED STATES OF AMERICAN DOLLARS shall be paid as balance payment or we together in agreement as partners will use another foreign firm's name that will carry out the plants servicing documentation as a sub-contractor to your company in our follow up documentation to receive the balance payment.
I shall come to your Country immediately this fund is in your account to share the EIGHTY FIVE MILLION AND FIFTY THOUSAND UNITED STATES OF AMERICAN DOLLARS. The sharing pattern is as follows:- We will give to you 25% of the total sum, 5% will be set aside for all expenses incurred during the transacting period and 70% will be for me and my colleague. However, be rest assured that no risk is involved or any scandal in the future, for we have done all our homework very well, nobody will be hunt or hurt during and after this transaction.
It may also please you to know that all the GOODS that covers the 75% payment of this contract had earlier been supplied by other contractors with document in place whose contract were cancelled half way during the past Military Regime Of Gen. Sanni Abacha. No record of this exists anywhere only the two of us that are key members of the contract board committee has this knowledge and information so there is the serious need for you to keep this transaction very secret and highly confidential. To that effect, I would require your direct private home phone / mobile and fax numbers for easy and confidential communication. I await your immediate respond to this PROPOSAL through my direct email address immediately:- ovieodafe3@megamail.pt
Meanwhile, I look forward to establishing a life long business relationship with you.
Best regards.
