Michael EgegeDirector Budget and ImplementationNiger Delta Development Commission
My Dearest One,My reason of contacting you is to build up a business relationship with you, and with a great honor and due respect in all sincerity and honesty, I crave this indulgency for intruding into your privacy. Equally I wish to introduce to you a business I have at hand that will mutually benefit both of us and I believe that I am contacting you with God's directives.My name is Michael Egege and I am the Director of budget and implementation in the Niger Delta Development commission, his commission is in charge of development of the petroleum producing areas of Niger delta Region of Nigeria and as such we award contracts and for see the payment of such contracts when executed and commissioned. In my position as the director of budget and implementation department of this commission I am also the chairman tenders board of NDDC.However, I used my position in the tenders board to over invoice a contract that was executed two years ago by a foreign company to the tune of US$31,500,000.00.The original contractor has been paid the actual value of the contract and the last payment due to him and his company was effected last year December. Now an approval has been released for the payment of this over invoiced amount and this must be effected within now and three weeks time and I need your assistance in your receiving this payment on my behalf as I do not have a foreign account where the amount will be paid as it is required that the payment must be effected into a foreign account as the original contractor has being receiving his payments in foreign bank accounts. My reason of contacting you being that our laws do not allow civil servants like me to own and operate foreign bank accounts.Therefore I require your cooperation to effect the payment into your account within the allow time.
I am hopeful that you will justify this confidence I have reposed on you and come out to assist me. In case you are interested send the following information’s about you and your company that will enable me procure some relevant contract documents in your favor and effect the payment into your given bank account:The name and address of your company.Your bankers name and address and your account number and name.Your name and address and telephone numbers.I will have to assure you that this transaction is risk free and with the documents I will procure in your favor will legalise this transaction and as such you will have 30% of the total amount for your assistance, while 10% will be used to pay for expenses incurred and 60% will be for me and my co officers in this office and you will look for a profitable business and invest our share for us in your country.Please note that the confidentiality required in this transaction must be kept till the confirmation of the said amount in your account as I look forward to your favorable response.
