> confidential and top secret. you have been
> recommended by an
> associate who assured me in confidence of your
> ability and

> however our trip to your country was called off this

> therefore I decided as an alternative to contact you

> I am a member of the Federal Government of Nigeria
> Contract
> Award and Monitoring Committee in the Nigeria
> National
> Petroleum Corporation (NNPC)
> Sometime ago, a contract was awarded to a foreign
> firm in
> NNPC by my Committee. This contract was over
> invoiced to the
> tune of US$21.5M. U. S. Dollars. This was done
> deliberately.
> The over- invoicing was a deal by my committee to
> benefit
> from the project. We now want to transfer this money
> which is
> in a suspense Account with NNPC into any Overseas
> Account
> which we expect you to provide for us.
>
> SHARE: -
> For providing the account where we shall remit the
> money
> into, you will be entitled to 30% of the money, 60%
> will be
> for me and my partners while 10% has been mapped out
> from the
> total sum to cover any expenses that may be incurred
> by us
> during the course of this transfer, both locally and
> international expenses. It may interest you to know

> Corp. of 153
> East 57th St., 28th floor, NY10022, TEL:
> (212)-308-7788 AND
> TELEX: 6731689. The deal was concluded and all
> covering
> documents were forwarded to MR. MILLER to
> authenticate the
> claim. Once the funds were transferred, MR. MILLER
> presented
> his Bank with all the legal documents and remitted
> the whole
> funds to another Bank Account and disappeared
> completely. My
> colleagues were shattered, as such opportunities do
> not come
> all the time.
> I would require the following: -
> 1. Your Company's Name,Address,Tel.&Fax. Numbers.
> 2. Your Bank Account Number and Address where the
> money will
> be remitted.
> The above informations would be used to make formal
> applications as a matter of procedure for the
> release of the
> money and onward transfer to your account.
> It does not matter whether or not your company does
> contract
> projects of this nature described here. The
> assumption is
> that your company won the major contract and
> subcontracted it
> out to other companies. More often than not, big
> trading
> companies or firms of unrelated fields win major
> contracts
> and subcontracts to more specialized firms for
> execution of
> such contracts.
>
> We have strong reliable connections and contacts at
> the
> Central Bank of Nigeria, as well as the Federal
> Ministry of
> Finance and we have no doubt that all the money will
> be
> released and transferred if we get the necessary
> foreign
> partner to assist us in this deal. Therefore, when
> the
> business is successfully concluded we shall through
> our same
> connections withdraw all documents used from all the
> concerned Government Ministries for 100% security.
>
> We are ordinary civil servants and we will not want
> to miss
> this once in a lifetime opportunity to get rich. We
> want this
> money to be transferred to the overseas Accounts for
> us,
> before the present Democratic Government starts
> Auditing all

> Please contact me immediately through my telefax
