JOINT INVESTMENT. We are members of a special Committee for Budget and Planning of the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation; (NNPC) in West Africa. This committee is principally concerned with contract awards and approval. With our positions, we have successfully secured for ourselves the sum of Thirteen million, seven hundred thousand United States Dollars (US$13.7m). This amount was carefully secured by over-invoicing of an old contract.
Based on information gathered about you on the internet, we believe you would be in a position to help us in transferring this fund (US$13.7m) into a safe account. It has been agreed that the owner of the account will be compensated with 15% of the remitted funds, while we keep the rest after all expenses and taxes have been settled. We intend to use part of our own share to import from your country, agricultural and construction machinery. This is because the present government of my country is emphasizing on providing food and housing for all her citizens before the next election in 2007. Hence, agricultural and construction equipment are in high demand over here for now. We shall also need your assistance in this regard on a commission to be agreed upon when we finally meet. All modalities of this transaction have been carefully worked out and once initiated, will not take more than nine (9) working days, with your full support. In addition, this plan is very safe for all persons that would be involved. A neat strategy has been cut out to see the funds leave our shores successfully, once we have your co-operation. However, we would require the following from you to enable us begin the transaction formally: your full name and address or your company name, address and telephone/fax numbers, your bankers name and address, your account number and name. This information will be used alongside other vital documents over here in forwarding the relevant applications for payment to the concerned quarters where payment approvals would be secured in favour of your company (on our behalf), for the payment to be wired into your nominated account for us all. By our application, it will be assumed that this sum is being requested as payment, which is long-outstanding, for a contract which we shall claim, yourself or your company executed for the NNPC sometime in the year 2002. Hence, we shall follow all normal official protocols usually observed by foreign contractors whenever they are demanding payment for contracts executed for the government of my country. Furthermore, immediately the final approval for wire transfer is granted, the fund will be transferred into your account within 72 hours, by which time my partners and I will be in your country for the final disbursement in the ratio already spelt out to you. Please, you should endeavour to give us an account which you have absolute control over. This is very important because we would not want a situation whereafter the money has arrived your account, you will then tell us you would need to be authorised by another person before we can draw our own share. This, you know, will breed some unhealthy circumstances which none of us would like. You will not be required to travel out of your country, I and my partners will travel down to your country for the disbursement of the fund, after the final transaction. We will also discuss about investing in the Oil Industry in my country when we come over there. We would like to establish a joint business with you; that is we will use your name to register and incorporate an oil company here in our country. Besides, on the completion of this transfer, all documents used for the purpose will be withdrawn from the quarters they were submitted by our contacts in these offices and destroyed thereafter. This way, there would not be any problem arising from this transaction now or in the future. If this proposal satisfies you, please reach us only by this email address for more information. Please, treat as urgent and very important. Yours faithfully, Dr Mike Ukah
