- Dear Sir/Madam, I am Mr.Fredrick Richard the Auditor General of Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC). Certainly, the prompting of this letter to you is anchored on my strong desire to solicit your sincere understanding and co-operation in this transaction that would certainly boost the financial stand of both parties involved when completed. As a matter of fact, We want to transfer to overseas (US$ 153,000.000.00 USD) One hundred and Fifty three million United States Dollars) from the oil company's operating Bank account here in Nigeria and I want you to quietly look for a reliable and honest person who will be capable and fit to provide either an existing bank account or to set up a new Bank A/C immediately to receive this money, even an empty account can serve to receive this money, as long as you will remain honest to me till the end of this important transaction believing that you will never let me down either now or in the near future. In all honesty, during!

Meanwhile, Mr. Magnus Leon, the President of the Oil Company was the only signatory to the account, but unfortunately he died after a brief illness in 1993. And no other person knows about this account or any thing concerning it, and the account has no other beneficiary. And my investigation proved to me that Mr. Magnus Leon, until his death had wanted to siphoned that money into his personal account in New York hence he did not disclose the operating devises of the account to the Board of Trustees. I am only contacting you in this regard, based on the fact that you are a foreigner because, this money can only be approved to any f!
oreigner who can present all documents that will prove that he/she is
the Next of Kin/Beneficiary to the account base on the fact that Mr. Magnus Leon the owner of this account is a foreigner, and the money can only be approved into a foreign bank account. Therefore, if you are capable of handling this transaction with me, lets make the necessary arrangement for the hitch-free transfer of this money to any safe bank account that you may nominate, on a share percentage bases. I shall commence actions immediately to process the payment of the money in your favor as the beneficiary as soon as i receive a positive response from you that you are capable of handling the transaction. Please send your response to my direct email address : fredrickrichard@jmail.co.za Yours Faithfully Mr.Fredrick Richard Tel: +234 7056068219"
