ATTENTION
PERSONAL AND CONFIDENTIAL
Having consulted with my colleagues and based on the information Gathered from the Nigerian
Chambers Of Commerce And Industry, I have the privilege to request your assistance to transfer the
sum of (15,500.000.00) FIFITEEN MILLION, FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED STATES DOLLARS, into your
accounts.
The above sum resulted from an over-invoiced contract, executed, Commissioned and paid for about
three years (3) ago by a foreign contractor.
This action was however intentional and since then the fund has been in a suspense account at The
Central Bank Of Nigeria Apex Bank. We are now ready to transfer the fund overseas and that is where
you Come in. It is important to inform you that as civil servants, we are Forbidden to operate a
foreign account; that is why we require your assistance.
The total sum will be shared as follows: 65% for us, 30% for you and 5% for local and international
expenses incidental to the transfer.
The transfer is risk free on both sides. I am an accountant with the Nigerian National Petroleum
Corporation (NNPC). If you find this proposal acceptable,we shall require the following
documents:(1) Your banker name and address (2) Your private telephone and fax numbers ? for
confidentiality and easy communication. (c) Your full name and address.
Alternatively we will furnish you with an application form which you will file and apply directly
to the Central Bank of Nigeria, where this money was deposited, along with a breakdown explaining,
comprehensively what we require of you.
The business will take us (14) working days to accomplish.
Await your urgent response.
Yours Sincerely
Rev. Dr. THomas Ella.
