Subject: Dearest One.


Hello, My Good-friend.

Hope you would know the essence of my contact with you. I sincerely
promise that the deal is 100% risk-free to both sides; hence our top
powers to execute it.

My names are Mr. Mele Kyari. Group Managing Director,
Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) Department of Petroleum
Resources (DPR). My term of reference involves the award of contracts
to multinational companies.

My office is saddled with the
responsibility of contract Award, screening, categorization and
privatization of projects embarked upon by Department of Petroleum
Resources (DPR) as well as feasibility studies for selected projects
and supervising the project consultants involved.

A breakdown of the fiscal expenditure by this office as at the end of
last fiscal quarter of 2020 indicates that (DPR) paid out a whooping
sum of US$2B (Two Billion United States Dollars) to successful local
and foreign contractors. The (DPR) is now compelling beneficiaries to
be paid for this First Quarter First Batch of the fiscal year 2021.

The crux of this letter is that the Finance/Contract Department of the
(DPR) under my instruction deliberately over-invoiced the contract
value of the various contracts Awarded. In the course of disbursements
my department has been able to accumulate the sum of $31MUSD (Thirty
One Million U.S Dollars only) as the over-invoiced
sum.

This money is currently in a suspense account of the (DPR) account
with the Debt Reconciliation Committee (DRC). We now seek to process
the transfer of this fund officially as contract payment to you as a
foreign contractor,

who will be fronting for us as the beneficiary of the fund? In this
way we can facilitate these funds into your nominated foreign account
for possible investment abroad. We are not allowed as a matter of
government policy to operate any foreign account to transfer this fund
into.

1. Can you handle this project?
2. Can I give you this trust?

Be informed that on completion of this Project we will use part of us
own share to invest in your country under your care.

Please note that the transfer operation will take ten working days to
be completed.

Send the requested information below so that we can
proceed further.

(1) Your Full Name:……………………
(2) Your Full Contact Address:………….
(3) Your Direct Mobile Line:……………
(4) Your Private Fax No:……………….
(5) Your company name if any……………
(6) Your occupation:…………………..

For Joint Venture

Thanks, And Remain Blessed

Mr. Mele Kyari.
Group Managing Director.
