Subject: The Chairman Contract Awarding Committee
From Mr Richard Egombia
The Chairman Contract Awarding Committee
Nigeria National petroleum corporation {NNPC}
Tel/No:234-8063-61-9035
Email Address: richard_egombia@yahoo.co.in
My dear Friend,
My name is Mr. Richard egombia. I am the chairman contract awarding committee of Nigeria National petroleum corporation {NNPC}. I saw your name in our directory of Nigeria chamber of commerce and industry and developed an interest to contact you for this lucrative business proposal which I know that you must be interested to participate although you may be surprised to be opportune to be involved in this lucrative business but that is your own luck because I don’t know you before.
As I stated above, I am the chairman contract awarding committee of Nigeria National petroleum corporation {NNPC}. In 1998 we awarded a contract to one firm / company in Germany at the cost of $330,000,000.00 Three hundred and thirty million united state dollars for maintenance and services of our refinery in Port Harcourt refinery which we manipulated to be over invoiced by 10% as our commission and 10% of the amount is $33,000,000.00 Thirty three million united state dollars.
So we want to transfer / remit this over invoice fund to aforeign account as our own commission and we are looking for a very honest and trust worthy person who will receive this fund on our behalf because we are not allowed to operate foreign account because we are still in service. So, I was mandated by the officers involved to bring any honest and trust worthy person who will receive this fund on our behalf by providing his or her bank account where we will credit this fund for our sharing. We will give you 30% of the total amount which is $9,900,000.00 Nine million nine hundred thousand united state dollars.
This is very big opportunity and it is risk free. The original contractor who executed the contract has already received their capital fund in a god faith remaining the commission which is floating in the central bank of Nigeria suspense account.
Please if you are interested do not hesitate to contact me immediately on my email address: richard_egombia@yahoo.co.in and also forward your bank particulars where you want to receive the fund on our behalf. Your telephone and fax number is also needed for easy communication.
As soon as the fund is credited / transferred into your account I will come over to your country to receive our own share of 70% which is for me and my colleagues and I will like to invest part of my own share in your country. Hope that you will assist me.
I am expecting to hear from you soonest and please acknowledge the receipt of this message.
Yours truly,
Mr Richard Egombia
