Dear Sir/Madam,
I am o. a anyaoku the GED, Commercial & Investment, Nigerian
National Petroleum Corporation [NNPC]. My colleagues have mandated me
to transfer the sum of US$88 Millions recovered from an over-invoiced
contracts involving the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation[NNPC]
into several private account in Europe and United States. A total sum
of US$75,500,000.00 has been transferred before the emergence of this
present Civilian Administration, in May 1999 leaving the balance of
US$12,500,000.00 which we now have access to following the failure of
our predecessors to complete the transfer before they bowed out of
office leaving us with this golden opportunity to transfer it for our
benefit.
I have made proper arrangement/documentation to transfer the
balance
(US$12,500,000.00) which is retained in a coded account of the NNPC
with one of the banks in Nigeria. We are soliciting that you help us
to receive the fund in trust. We cannot complete this transaction
smoothly without the participation of a foreign partner who would
provide an account where the funds could be lodged. Since it is a
contract payment, the funds must be remitted to a foreign account.
Also people in such position are not permitted by the Nigerian Civil
Service law to own or operate foreign accounts while still in
service. The remittance of the funds requires little documentation
that would be completed as soon as you provide us with a secured bank
account where you may wish to receive the money. I can conveniently
assure you that all modalities have been put in place for a smooth
transaction that is absolutely risk-free as long as you give us
maximum cooperation to make this a success.
There is no risk involved on your part in this transaction since
my
colleagues and I have covered this transaction with adequate contract
and external credit documents from the beginning. What we require from
you now by Email are viz: (i) A reliable Bank Account (presumably an
empty bank account, if available). {ii} A named beneficiary of the
account (i.e. personal or company's account. {iii} Name and address
of Company that stands as Funds Beneficiary. (iv) Private tel/mobile
phone Number.
COULD YOU KINDLY TELL US WHAT PERCENTAGE (%) OF THIS MONEY
(US$12,500,000.00) YOU WOULD LIKE TO TAKE AFTER THE TRANSFER TO YOUR
BANK ACCOUNT? Also we should like to invest our own share of the
money in investment projects: Real Estate Properties, Tourism, Hotel
business in your country. How did you see these business
opportunities? Please reply urgently by e-mail as we expect that the
transaction will not take more than ten working days. And please note
that this transaction must be TOP SECRET
Best regards,
o a anyaoku.
