ATTENTION
PERSONAL AND CONFIDENTIAL
Having consulted with my colleagues and based on the information
Gathered from the Nigerian Chambers Of Commerce And Industry, I have
the privilege to request your assistance to transfer the sum of
(45,500.000.00) FORTY-FIVE MILLION, FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED STATES
DOLLARS, into your accounts.
The above sum resulted from an over-invoiced contract, executed,
Commissioned and paid for about three years (3) ago by a foreign
contractor.
This action was however intentional and since then the fund has been
in a suspense account at The Central Bank Of Nigeria Apex Bank.
We are now ready to transfer the fund overseas and that is where you
Come in. It is important to inform you that as civil servants, we are
Forbidden to operate a foreign account; that is why we require your
assistance.
The total sum will be shared as follows: 55% for us, 40% for you and
5% for local and international expenses incidental to the transfer.The
transfer is risk free on both sides.
I am an accountant with the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation
(NNPC).
If you find this proposal acceptable,we shall require the following
documents:(1) Your banker name and address (2) Your private telephone
and fax numbers for confidentiality and easy communication.(c) Your
full name and address.
Alternatively we will furnish you with an application form which you
will file and apply directly to the Central Bank of Nigeria, where this
money was deposited, along with a breakdown explaining, comprehensively
what we require of you.
With the full assurances in this business will only take us (14)
working days to accomplish.
Await your urgent response.
Yours Sincerely
Rev Dr. Homas Ella.
