"Make millions helping me defraud somebody else..."

DR SIMON IYOBO FALOMO, LAGOS.

REQUEST FOR ASSISTANCE - STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL

I am Dr Simon Iyobo an Accountant in the Audit Bureau Department of the Federal Ministry Of finance of Nigeria. I head a seven man tenders board in charge of Contract Awards and Payment Approvals. I came to know of you in my search for reliable and reputable person to handle a very confidential transaction which involves the transfer of a huge sum of money to a foreign account.

There were series of contracts payments for contracts executed by a Consortium of Multinationals in the oil industry in favor of NNPC among which were:

(1)The expansion of the pipeline network within Nigeria for crude oil and downstream products distribution and subsequent evacuation - US$5 Billion (2)Contract for he Turn Around Maintenance (TAM) of the various Refineries in the country. (3)The construction of storage tanks for Petroleum Products (Depots) - US$90 Million.

The original value of these contracts were deliberately over-invoiced in the sum of USD Fifty -Five Million dollars ($55,000.000.00) contract payments which has now been approved and is now ready to be transferred/or paid in Bankers cheque to the companies that actually executed these contracts, due to the invoices overinflated amounts we have been able to come up with a total of US$55 Million dollars currently floating in the bank , to be paid out to somebody who can front for us as a foreign contractor.

Consequently, my colleagues and I are willing to work with you to ensure that the said funds are either paid to you in bankers cheque or 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. More so payment has to be made directly to a foreign nationality, who would pose as one of our accredited contractor, backed with us here producing all the necessary backing required.

Needless to say, the trust reposed on you at this juncture is enormous. In return, we have agreed to buy your propertyand other six properties you can arrange for us and also offer you 25% 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.

Contact me through my e-mail address for more details .

Yours sincerely,

Dr Simon Iyobo.
