Subject: TREAT AS URGENT
MR ALFA IDRIS,DIRECTOR OF FINANCE & ACCOUNTS,NIGERIAN PORTS AUTHORITY PLC, Dear Sir, I am the Executive Director with the Nigerian Ports Authority Plc. I will retire from service shortly because I am on a political appointment. Based on this I would like to do this business with you so that at my retirement I would have a solid financial investment to fall back on while enjoying my retirement age. THE DEAL: By my position, I have been able to secure US$9.650 Million Dollars from an over invoiced contract awarded and executed a few years ago by the Authority under my direct supervision. With my position in the office, and the fact that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) watching the activities of Senior Government Officers still serving in Government, I cannot single handedly secure this fund within my reach. For me to be on a safer side, I want you to search for a lucrative business to invest the money for our mutual benefits after receiving it in your account. NOTE: It is true that our country has suffered negative publicity in the recent past, but be informed that there are still good people and good businesses in our country. It is my optimism to receive your urgent reply and let me know your commission. reply to this Email:micdon_gold01@yahoo.com
Mr Alfa Idris,Director of Finance & Accounts,Nigerian Ports Authority Plc
