Subject: REPLY ASAP IT IS VERY URGENT
Dear Sir,
Good day, I am a civil servant and I have a business proposal for you which
came up from an over inflated contract for some supplies to my organization
the
NNPC as a result of which the sum of USD $25.8m (Twenty five million, Eight
Hundred Thousand United States Dollars only) is now outstanding as the
contract
margin in the nation apex bank waiting for disbursement.
The original contractor has long been paid and this outstanding is what I
would appreciate if you can put up a tender for claim and I will approve it
and it
shall be transferred to your personal or company account.
This is what I want to transfer into an oversea account since as a Civil
Servant I am not allowed to own an offshore account while in service.
This funds after the successful transfer into your account shall be shared
at a ration of 70% for me and the rest for any individual or group that can
assist
me to accommodate it in his or her account, while 5% takes care of any
expenses that we incurs at the end.
If you are interested please contact me.
Chudi Amaechi Tiko.
