FROM: MICHAEL OGOCHUKWU
ATTN: PESIDENT\ CEO
REQUEST FOR ASSISTANCE-STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL;
I am Michael Ogochukwu a top management staff in the Nigerian National
Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) and I head a seven-man tender�s board in
charge of Contract Awards and Payments Approvals. I came to know of you
in my search for a reliable and reputable person to handle a very confidential
transaction that involves the transfer of a huge sum of money to a foreign
account. There were series of contracts executed by a constordium Multinationals in
the oil industry in favour of NNPC among
which were:
The Supply of Y2K Compliant Personal Computers and Accessories to the
Warri, Port Harcourt and Kaduna Refineries. Supply of Drugs and Relief
materials to the victims of the Niger/ Delta crises. The construction of Schools,
Hospitals and Housing Units in the Niger/Delta
Region. The original value of these contracts were deliberately over invoiced
in the sum of USD TWENTY FIVE MILLION, FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS
(25.5M) which has now been approved and is now ready to be transferred
being that the Companies that actually executed these contracts have
been paid and the projects officially commissioned.
Consequently, my colleagues and I are willing to transfer the total amount
to your account for subsequent disbursement, since we as civil servants
are prohibited by the Code of Conduct Bureau (Civil Service Laws) from opening and/ or
operating foreign accounts in our
names.
Needless to say, the trust reposed on you at this juncture is enormous.
In return, we have agreed to offer you 20% of the transferred sum, while
10% shall be set aside for incidental expenses (internal and external) between the
parties in the course of the transaction. You will
be mandated to remit the balance 70% to other accounts in due course.
You must however NOTE that this transaction is subject to the following
terms and conditions: Our conviction of your transparent honesty and diligence. That
you would
treat this transaction with utmost secrecy and confidentiality. That
as a foreign partner, you will follow our instructions to the letter.
Provide the account required, and competent to assist us on
profitable investment areas in your Country in an advisory capacity.
Furthermore, Modalities have been worked out at the highest levels of
the Ministry of Finance and the Central Bank of Nigeria for the immediate
transfer of the funds within 10 working days subject to your
satisfaction of the above stated terms. Our assurance is that your role
is risk free. To accord this transaction the legality it deserves and
for mutual security of the fund, the whole approval procedures
will be officially and legally processed with your name of any Company
you may nominate as the Bonafide beneficiary.
Once more, I want you to understand that having put in over 26 years
in the service of my country, I am averse to having my image and career
dented. This matter should therefore be treated with utmost secrecy and
urgency.
Kindly expedite action as we are behind schedule to enable us include
this transfer in the first batch of this financial quarter payment.
Please acknowledge the receipt of this message via my mail box.
Yours Sincerely,
Michael Ogochukwu
