To. Executive Director,
Attention.Gentleman.
I am Mr.John Williams , the Director of Contracts and Finance
Allocations with the Shell Petroleum Development Company of Nigeria Ltd I
seek your confidence and assistance in a business relationship for our
mutual benefits.In 2004, a contract was awarded to an American Contractor
for the Turn Around Service Maintenance of our four major refineries here
in Nigeria and was grossly over-invoiced up to the tune of
$296,000,000.00USD (Two Hundred and Ninety Six Million United States
Dollars).
The total contract sum was $260,000,000.00USD (Two Hundred and Sixty
Million United States Dollars) but as a result of the over-invoicing, it
was raised up to $296,000,000.00USD (Two Hundred and Ninety Six Million
United States Dollars) and the contractor has been fully paid i.e
$260,000,000.00USD (Two Hundred and Sixty Million United
States Dollars).
We however seek your assistance and support to enable us transfer the
remaining sum of $36,000,000.00USD (Thirty Six Million United States
Dollars) into your bank account or any other reliable bank account in your
Country for possible investments.The modalities to effect this transfer
has been worked out as we are going to use our position here to place you
as the contractor who the contract was awarded to and having accomplished
the contract wish to apply for the Balance.We shall scrap every detail of
the former contractor and replace it with yours to enable you apply for
payments on our behalf as the beneficiary.
There are other documents to be obtained to support this transfer in your
favour while we are assuring you that there is no risk involved in this
transaction as all modalities will take the semblance of a real
contractor. We have arranged to compensate you with 20% of the total
funds, setting aside 5% to cover all expenses that might be incurred by
both of us to facilitate the transfer into your nominated bank account.
If this business proposal is okay to you,please kindly get back to me
through the e-mail address stated above to enable me enlighten you more on
how to conclude this transaction
It is expected that this transaction is going to be concluded in the next
21 working days given your fullest cooperation.
Best Regards,
Mr. John Williams
