I am the member, fund coordinator of the Finance Contract
Department of Nigerian Ports Authority. The crux of this letter is that the
Finance/Contract Department of the NPA deliberately over-inflated the
contract values of various contract awarded. In the course of disbursement my office was able to track down the sum of US$15M (fifteen Million U.S Dollars) as the over invoiced sum. This money is now floating in the NPA domiciliary account with the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN). My colleagues and I now want to quickly transfer this fund to a safe nominated foreign account for possible investment abroad.
We are not allowed as a matter of government policy to operate any
foreign account because of our status as civil/public servants. Hence the
need to solicit for youre full banking details, to enable us transfer
this money into your account. Upon your acceptance of this proposal, we
have agreed on a sharing ratio: –
1) 30% for you as the account owner
2) 60% for I and my colleagues
3) 10% will be set aside to defray all incidental expenses both locally and internationally during the
course of this transaction.
Furthermore, we shall be coming over to your country when the money is
finally in your account and we shall be relying on your advise as
regards to investment of our share. Be informed that, this business is
genuine and 100% safe considering the high-powered government officials involved.
Send to me by email the following information: –
1) Your company name and address, bank name, address
and account number.
2) Your private email address, telephone and fax
number for effective communication.
This is to affect the Swift Transfer of this fund into
your account in less than Seven (7) working days.
Expecting your mail immediately while looking forward to a healthy
business relationship with you.
Sincerely yours,
Professor Idris Abubakar
