Subject: YOUR CO-OPERATION NEEDED
DEAR FRIEND,
I AM ONE OF THE MEMBERS OF THE SPECIAL COMMITTEE FOR BUDGET AND PLANNING OF
THE MINISTRY OF PETROLEUM of the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation
(NNPC) set up by the democratic Government in Nigeria, to review and make
recommendations for payments on all outstanding foreign debts resulting
from contracts executed for the Nigeria National petroleum Corporation
(NNPC) under the past military dispensation.
During the course of my committees assignments, I discovered a deliberately
over invoiced and unclaimed contract payment to the tune of US$35.5
Million(Thirty Five Million, Five Hundred thousand United State Dollars).
This fund had been floating reluctantly unidentified in the vault of the
central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), ready for immediate transfer. I PLAN TO
TRANSFER THIS AMOUNT OF MONEY THIRTY FIVE MILLION, FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND
DOLLARS (US$35.5M) INTO AN OVERSEAS ACCOUNT BY AWARDING A NONE EXISTING
CONTRACT FROM MY MINISTRY (NNPC).
TO THIS EFFECT I DECIDED TO CONTACT YOU AND ASK FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE. WHAT I
NEED FROM YOU, IS YOUR TELEPHONE/FAX NUMBER AND MAILING ADDRESS FOR US TO
HAVE A BETTER UNDERSTANDING ABOUT YOU,AND YOU CAN NOW OPEN AN EX-CREW
ACCOUNT THAT THE TOTAL MONEY IN QUESTION WILL BE REMITTED TO.
I HAVE AGREED TO COMPENSATE YOU FOR ASSISTING US REGARDS TO THIS
TRANSACTION WITH 40% OF THE TOTAL AMOUNT REMITTED. WE SHALL KEEP 50% AND
REMAINING 10% RESERVED FOR TAXES AND OTHER MISCELLANEOUS EXPENSES.
PLEASE, KINDLY TREAT AS VERY URGENT AND STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL, I HONESTLY
ASSURE YOU THAT THIS TRANSACTION IS 100% RISK FREE.
I AM SORRY IF YOU ARE EMBARRASSED BY MY MAIL, I ONLY FOUND YOUR E-MAIL
ADDRESS ON THE WEB DIRECTORY AND DECIDED TO CONTACT YOU.
PLEASE YOU CAN REPLY ME BACK TO: [email protected]
BEST REGARD
Aminu A. Babakusa
