Subject: APPEAL FOR ASSISTANCE
How are you today? Hope fine.
Dear Sir,
REQUEST FOR BUSINESS PROPOSAL
After due deliberation with my colleagues, I decided to forward this proposal to you. We want a reliable person who could assist us to transfer the sum of Twenty-Five Million, Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars (US$25,5M) into his/her account. This fund resulted from an over-invoiced bill from contract awarded by us under the budget allocation to my ministry and the bill was approved for payment by the concerned ministries.
The contract has been executed, and commissioned and the contractor was paid the
actual cost of the contract. We are left with the balance of US$25.5M as part of the over-invoiced amount, which we have deliberately over estimated for our own. I am
contacting you to be our custodian for this fund.
1. 25% for you (Account Owner)
2. 70% for us
3.5% for Tax, as may be required by your government and ours.
I am the Director of the Contract awarding Committee(CAC) of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation ( NNPC).This transaction is very much free from all sorts of Risk from my Government. We have been exercising patience for this opportunity for so long and to most of us this is a life opportunity we cannot afford to miss.To get this fund paid into your account, we have to present a foreign establishment like yours. With that we will seek for approval to transfer the fund within (7) seven banking working days through the Apex Bank (CBN) to your designated Bank Account.
My colleague in this deal and myself will come to your Country to arrange for our share upon confirmation from you that the money has been credited into your nominated Bank Account. Our intention is to go into realestate,Upon your acceptance, do confirm your sincere interest to enable me give you the detailed procedure for the transfer. It will surprise you why we chose and trusted you for this transaction.
Yes, we believe that good friends can be discovered and business like this cannot be realized without trust. This is why we have decided to trust you for this transaction. We are looking forward to doing this business with you.
Be further informed that everyone's interest and security had been considered before this mail to you. So be rest assured and feel free to go into this transaction with us. But let Honesty and Secrecy be our watchword throughout this transaction and your prompt response
shall be highly appreciated.
Best regards,
PAUL DADA
Director {NNPC}
