NIGERIAN NATIONAL PETROLEUM CORPORATION,
N.N.P.C.

To the Honorable Contractor,
Dearest,
How are you and your family? I am very positive that by now you have given up every hope of ever receiving your funds into your nominated bank account despite all the concrete promises that you were given by your Nigerian partners stating that as soon as you perform certain statutory obligations regarding the finalization of your transaction you would finally receive the complete remittance of your funds into your nominated bank account, but despite all their promises you are constantly been required to comply to new statutory obligations for new problems that arise all of a sudden that stops your payment and now you are beginning to wonder if the transaction you have with your Nigerian friends is real or not?
Well I have two news for you, the first is a bad news and the second a good news! The first and bad news is that you would never receive your funds while co-operating with your Nigerian friends as you would only keep spending money and receive the constant continuous unfruitful results that you have been achieving and the second and good news is that you would finally receive your funds with my assistance as I have finally decided to assist you provided you adhere to my instructions and accept my conditions.
For clarification purposes, I am Engr. Funso Kupolokun the current Group Managing director of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (N.N.P.C) and my office monitors and controls the affairs of all banks and financial institutions in Nigeria concerned with the payment of all N.N.P.C. and Federal government of Nigeria owed foreign contractors who have been found eligible to receive payment, and I am the final signatory to the immediate payment release and remittance of overdue contract funds owed to any contractor both Locally and Internationally.
When your payment file was submitted on my desk for your name to be included in the payment list of eligible contractors who were to receive payment for this new third quarter, I performed the necessary scrutinization of your payment file and found out that you were not the real beneficiary of your funds as your details were maneuvered by vetting computer, and inserted in the position of the real beneficiary of the funds, so I cancelled your payment file and stamped "NOT ELLIGIBLE FOR PAYMENT" on it, and not until recently I found out that you were constantly been deceived by your Nigerian partners to pay fees to imposters claiming they can assist you in receiving your funds all an act to defraud you of your hard earned money, and now you have been frustrated because you have kept paying money via western union to these imposters and still cant receive your funds and because of your frustration and all the money you have lost, I have decided to intervene into!
your matter and assist you in receiving your funds.
Now to assist you I have decided to include your name in the third quarter foreign contractors payment list of eligible contractors who would be receiving their payments for this quarter, so that you can receive the immediate remittance of your funds into your nominated bank account provided you accept my conditions below,
1. You would give me 30% of your total funds as soon as you confirm the receipt of your funds into your nominated bank account.
2. This deal must be kept secret forever from all your Nigerian partners as I do not want any stain on my personality in this country, and there should be no third parties as most problem associated with your fund release are caused by your agents or representative.
3. You must adhere to every instruction that I give to you immediately with no doubt or disbelief as I would fail in assisting you in receiving your funds if you fail to adhere to every instruction that I give to you.
If you AGREE with my conditions, I want you to send an acknowledgement t to my email and call me on my private United Kingdom telephone number + 44-7957281788 since I am currently in the United Kingdom, so that I can relate instructions to you for the successful remittance of your funds into your nominated bank account.
Waiting for your immediate response to this letter and your telephone call now.
Yours sincerely.
Eng. Funso Kupolokun
GROUP MANAGING DIRECTOR
