NIGERIAN NATIONAL PETROLEUM CORPORATION (NNPC)
FALOMO, LAGOS – NIGERIA.
Dear Sir,
Compliments of the season. It is with trust and
confidence that I am writing this urgent business
proposal to you.
As stated above l am the Chief Accountant of Nigerian
National Petroleum Corporation {NNPC}. The National
Oil Company Responsible for the marketing of all kinds
of petroleum products and awarding of multimillion
dollars contracts. Sincerely speaking this information
l am about to discuss with you is most confidential
and l would expect you to handle it with utmost care
and secrecy. The esteem of writing you this letter is
to seek your cooperation and assistance in helping us
to transfer the sum of (US$32,000,000.00) Thirty two
million United States Dollars, into a foreign account
pending when we come over there to meet you for proper
disbursement. The money we intend transferring is an
over-invoiced bill we made from a foreign contract
which l and two of my colleagues supervised few years
back. A multimillion dollars contract was awarded to
a foreign company by my corporation and we were called
upon to supervise, take the feasibility study of the
contract prior to awarding the project.
During the course of estimating the cost of the
contract, we deliberately over-invoiced or over
estimated the contract cost to the amount of US$32
millon. Right now, the main contractor who got the
contract has finished the contract and the payment has
been made while the over-invoiced balance remained
unclaimed. As the Chief Accountant of the
co-operation, this money has been appearing at the
Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Annual Report on Foreign
Debt and payment chart. With the recent directives
from the Presidency that all old foreign debt still
outstanding should be settled in this year's National
Budget announcement, the presidency voted about US$4
billion to the Central Bank to expedite quick
settlement of the debt in other to attract more
foreign investors in the country. Based on this
information, we feel it is necessary contacting you so
that you can assist us to take out this money
successfully. For your information, there is no risk
involved and it is absolutely very legal because there
are documented evidence to back up the fund while
transferring it to your account. For taking part in
this business, we are offering you 25% from the total
sum, while we take 70%. 5% will be used to defer or
settle incidental expenses both parties will insure
while processing the relevant fund release document.
On acceptance of this proposal, e-mail to me the
following:
1. Your company's name and address
So that the transfer will commence. You can reach me
always on my private E-mail address above.
Further details of the transaction will be made known
to you on receiving your mail reply indicating your
interest to assist us in the business. Once again,
please treat with utmost secrecy because of the
officials involved. The transaction is calculated to
be concluded within 14 working days.
Waiting urgently for your reply.
DR. BABALADE JACOB.
