Treasury Controller
Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation,
Lagos-Nigeria
My Dear Sir/Madam,
I am the Treasury Controller, Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation [NNPC] and a close associate
of the immediate past Minister of Petroleum Resources. The Minister has mandated me to transfer the
sum of US$88 millions Recovered from over-invoiced contracts involving the Nigerian National
Petroleum Corporation [NNPC] into several private accounts in Europe and United States. A total sum
of US$68,000,000.00 has been transferred before the Emergence of this present Civilian
Administration, leaving the balance of US$20,000,000.00.I have made
proper arrangement/documentation to transfer the balance which is retained in a coded account of
the NNPC with the Central Bank of Nigeria. We are soliciting that you help us to receive the fund
in trust. We cannot complete this transaction smoothly without the participation of a foreign
partner who would provide an account where the funds could be lodged. Since it is a contract
payment the funds must be remitted to a foreign account the remittance of the funds requires
littledocumentation.
There is no risk involved on your part in this transaction since the Former Minister and I have
covered this transaction with adequate contract and external credit documents from the beginning
what we require from you
{i} Acceptance letter of this offer
{ii} Your company name/Address and confidential
Telephone and fax numbers
{iii} Convincing Honesty, Trustworthiness and Willingness
to abide by the requirements of this proposal paramount of which is CONFIDENTIALITY. We have agreed
that you will retain 30% of the entire US$20,000,00 0.00 for your effort in this transaction, 60%
for us partners here in Nigeria and the remaining 10% will be usedfor defrayal of incidental cost
in the course of this transfer.
Please reply urgently as we expect that the transaction will not take more than ten working days.
And please note that this transaction must be top secret.
