Dear Friend, This might come to you as a surprise but i assure you it is genuine and well intended. My search for an individual who is capable of pursuing a highly confidential & urgent business transaction has neccessitated my contacting you on this viable venture.. My colleagues & I are members of a recently constituted Contract Review & Award Committee of the Government owned Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation. We are currently in possession of thirty six million five hundred and sixty thousand united states dollars ($36,560,000.00),currently in a secure suspense account of the Central Bank of Nigeria,awaiting payment into a foreign account of our choice. This money is as a result of a deal deliberately done by us, where we over-invoiced one of the contracts awarded under our supervision. The origin al contract has already been executed & commissioned, leaving us with the balance of $36,561,000.00. What we need is a foreign bank account for us to transfer these funds. This we are unable to do ourselves because we are ordinary civil servants, & the laws of our country forbid us from operating foreign accounts. If you agree to assist us in this transaction, my colleagues & I have decided to share the funds as follows: 20% to you for providing us with an account & for safe keeping of the funds. 70% to us the originators of this deal. 10% to cover any expenses (both local & international) that might be incurred during the course of this transaction. Be assured that this transaction is absolutely risk free on your part and all modalities have been put in place for a smooth and easy transfer within 14 working Days from the commencement of the deal. Contact me as soon as you receive this via my e-mail address, whether you are interested or not. In case you are not, it will enable us to find another alternative arrangement. Please endeavour to keep this transaction to yourself, as we are top government officials and we do not want any type of exposure. I await your immediate reply.
PLS DO INCLUDE YOUR PHONE AND FAX NUMBERS. Best regards, DR BELLO ABDULLAHI
