DEAR SIR,
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR RESPONSE TO MY BUSINESS PROPOSAL
TO YOU.PLEASE SORRY FOR THE DELAY IN RESPONDING BACK.
I HAVE INFORMED MY COLLEAGUES OF YOUR RESPONSE AND WITH YOUR
APPARENT UNDERSTANDING OF THE NEED FOR CONFIDENTIALITY IN
ALL MATTERS RELATING TO THIS TRANSACTION, WE HAVE DECIDED
TO MOVE WITH YOU. PLEASE FIND THE DETAILS BELOW.
I GOT YOUR ADDRESS FROM AN ASSOCIATE OF MINE WHO IS AT THE
NIGERIAN CHAMBER OF COMMERCE AND INDUSTRY. THIS IS A
PLACE IN MY COUNTRY WHERE THEY HAVE RECORDS OF ALL FOREIGN
AND INTERNATIONAL BUSINESSES WORLDWIDE. WHEN WE WANTED
TO BEGIN THIS TRANSACTION WE HAD TO GO THERE TO SOURCE FOR
A TRUSTWORTHY AND COMPETENT FOREIGN PARTNER WITH WHOM WE COULD
DO BUSINESS WITH. HOWEVER, WE DID NOT DISCLOSE THE NATURE
OF BUSINESS WE WANTED TO TRANSACT WITH YOU, SO YOU CAN BE
REST ASSURED THAT CONFIDENTIALITY WAS MAINTAINED.
WHAT MUST BE DONE:
YOU ARE TO TRANSCRIBE THE ACCOMPANYING SPECIMEN APPLICATION
FOR PAYMENT THAT IS ATTACHED TO THIS EMAIL INTO YOUR LETTERHEAD
PAPER AND RETURN TO ME BY FAX TODAY TO ENABLE ME MAKE APPLICATION
FOR THE FUNDS TRANSFER TO THE CENTRAL BANK OF NIGERIA (C.B.N.)
THROUGH MY OFFICE THE NIGERIAN NATIONAL PETROLEUM CORPORATION
(N.N.P.C.). PLEASE PROVIDE A CONFIDENTIAL FAX NUMBER
FOR FUTURE FAX COMMUNICATION TO YOU. WE WILL HAVE A
NOTARY PUBLIC ENDORSE THE FAX COPY SO IT CAN SERVE AS AN ORIGINAL.
YOUR COMPANY SHALL BE INTRODUCED BY US AS THE BONAFIDE CONTRACTOR
AT THE NIGERIAN ANATIONAL PETROLEUM CORPORATION (N.N.P.C.)
AS WHO EXECUTED THE CONTRACT NO. 043/NNPC/SW-NE/97.
BASED ON THE HOMEWORK WE HAVE DONE, THE APPLICATION WILL BE
APPROVED AND SENT TO THE FEDERAL MINISTRY OF FINANCE (F.M.F.)
AND THE CENTRAL BANK OF NIGERIA (C.B.N.) FOR THE FINAL APPROVAL,
AFTER WHICH THE MONEY WOULD BE TRANSFERRED TO YOUR NOMINATED
ACCOUNT BY TELEGRAPHIC TRANSFER OR SOLAR DRAFT FOR US ALL.
THE CONTRACT WILL BE PERCEIVED TO HAVE BEEN EXECUTED BY YOUR
COMPANY FOR THE NIGERIAN NATIONAL PETROLEUM CORPORATION (N.N.P.C.)
WHICH IS THE FEDERAL STATUTORY CORPORATION, FOR WHICH THE
ORIGINAL CONTRACT WAS DONE, WHILE ITS VERY NATURE AS AN ORGANISED
DEAL, REMAINS WITHIN OURSELVES (PARTNERS ONLY EXCLUSIVE KNOWLEDGE).
WE BEING CIVIL SERVANTS ARE VERY CONSCIOUS OF THE DICTATES
OF LAW THIS IS IN ORDER TO SAFEGUARD OUR POSITIONS AS CIVIL
SERVANTS AND ALSO THE LEGAL INTERESTS OF YOUR COMPANY NOW
AND IN THE FUTURE FOR THIS WE WOULD MAKE SURE YOUR COMPANY
IS REGISTERED WITH THE NIGERIAN NATIONAL PETROLEUM CORPORATION
(N.N.P.C.) AS A CATEGORY "A&B" CONTRACTORS BECAUSE
ONLY A BONAFIDE REGISTERED COMPANY IS GRANTED CONTRACTS.
BECAUSE OF THESE REASONS, WHAT I WILL ADVICE IS THAT THE PROCESS
OF SEEKING OF APPROVAL FROM THE DIFFERENT MINISTRY AND MAKING
FINAL PAYMENT TO YOUR DESIGNATED ACCOUNT SHOULD BE DONE BY
US REPRESENTING YOU. THIS WILL BE ACHIEVED AFTER I HAVE
REGISTERED YOU AS A CONTRACTOR AND ALSO FILLED YOUR APPLICATION
FOR PAYMENT.
ONCE THE APPROVAL OF THE FEDERAL MINISTRY OF FINANCE (F.M.F.)
IS READY, THE FOREIGN CONTRACTOR AMENDMENT ACT OF 1995 PROVIDES
THAT THE BENEFICIARY OF THE CONTRACT PAYMENT SHALL BE REQUIRED
TO BE PRESENT IN NIGERIA TO ENDORSE THE CLASSIFIED TRANSFER
DOCUMENTS AT THE INTERNATIONAL REMITTANCE OFFICE OF THE CENTRAL
BANK OF NIGERIA (C.B.N.) OR ENDORSE THE CLASSIFIED TRANSFER
DOCUMENTS IN ANY OFFSHORE OFFICE NORMINATED TO YOU.
ALTERNATIVELY, IF THE BENEFICIARY IS UNABLE TO COME TO NIGERIA
OR GO OFFSHORE TO ENDORSE, HE IS LIABLE TO RETAIN THE SRVICES
OF A LOCAL ATTORNEY WHO IS A REGISTERED CONSULTANT AT THE
CENTRAL BANK OF NIGERIA (C.B.N.), TO ENDORSE ON HIS BEHALF,
PROVIDED THERE IS A PROPERLY EXECUTED POWER OF AUTHORITY TO
THAT EFFECT. PLEASE COMMENT.
I WANT TO REASSURE YOU THAT ALL EXPENSES INCURRED BY ALL PARTNERS
IN PROCESS OF THIS TRANSACTION SHALL BE PAID BACK FIRST WHEN
THE FUNDS ARE REMITTED FROM THE 10% SET ASIDE FOR REFUNDING
OF ALL EXPENSES INCURRED BY BOTH PARTNERS DURING THE COURSE
OF THIS TRANSACTION AND THE REMAINING WILL BE SHARED ACCORDING
TO THE AGREED RATIO OF 75% FOR US AND 15% FOR YOU.
AT THE END THE TRANSACTION TWO OF US SHALL ARRIVE THE COUNTRY
OF OYUR NOMINATED BANK ACCOUNT FOR THE PURPOSE OF SECURING
OUR SHARE AND USING YOUR ASSISTANCE TO INVEST OUR SHARE OF
THE MONEY IN ANY VIABLE BUSINESS IN YOUR COUNTRY.

DEAR SIR,
REQUEST FOR URGENT BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP IN RESPECT
OF THE TRANSFER OF US$40,000,000.00M. (FORTY MILLION
UNITED STATES DOLLARS ONLY) INTO YOUR ACCOUNT.
I, ON BEHALF OF MY OTHER COLLEAGUES FROM DIFFERENT FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT OF NIGERIA OWNED PARASTATALS DECIDED TO SOLICIT
YOUR ASSISTANCE AS REGARDS THE TRANSFER OF THE ABOVE
STATED AMOUNT INTO YOUR ACCOUNT. THIS FUND AROUSE
FROM THE OVER-INVOICING OF VARIOUS CONTRACT AWARDED
IN MY PARASTATALS TO CERTAIN FOREIGN CONTRACTORS SOME TIME
AGO.
WE AS HOLDERS OF SENSITIVE POSITIONS IN OUR PARASTATALS
WE ARE MANDATED BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT OF NIGERIA
TO SCRUTNIZE ALL PAYMENT MADE TO FOREIGN CONTRACTORS,
AND WE DISCOVERED THAT SOME OF THE CONTRACTS THEY EXECUTED
WERE GROSSLY OVER INVOICED, EITHER BY OMMISSION OR COMMISSION.
ALSO, WE DISCOVERED THAT THE SUM OF (US$40.M) FORTY MILLION
UNITED STATES DOLLARS ONLY WAS LYING IN A SUSPENCE ACCOUNT,
ALTHOUGH THE FOREIGN CONTRACTOR WERE FULLY PAID THEIR ENTITLEMENT
AFTER EXECUTING THE SAID CONTRACT.
WE ALL AGREED THAT THE OVER-INVOICED AMOUNT BE TRANSFERRED
(FOR OUR OWN USE) INTO A BANK ACCOUNT PROVIDED BY A FOREIGN
PARTNER. AS THE CODE OF CONDUCT OF FEDERAL CIVIL SERVANTS
THERE ARE LAWS WHICH RESTRICT US TO A CERTAIN LEVEL OF BANKING
FACILITIESWHICH DOES NOT ALLOW US THE OPPORTUNITY OF OPERATING
A DOMICILIARY ACCOUNT (FOREIGN ACCOUNT) WHICH MAKES IT IMPERATIVE
OF THE NEED OF A FOREIGN PARTNER LIKE YOU.
HOWEVER, IT MAY INTEREST YOU TO KNOW THAT WE HAVE SUCCEDED
IN TRANSFERRING SOME OF THE MONIES BEFORE PRECISELY (US$5.M)
FIVE MILLION UNITED STATES DOLLARS ONLY INTO A FOREIGN ACCOUNT
IN MOROCCO (NORTH AFRICA), BUT UNFORTUNATELY THE PROVIDER
OF THE ACCOUNT HAS SEVERED ALL FORMS OF COMMUNICATIONS WITH
US IMMEDIATELY THE FUNDS WERE DISBURSED INTO HIS ACCOUNT.
OUT OF THE US$5.MILLION WE WERE NOT COMPENSATED AT ALL, HOW
CAN ONE GUARANTEED FULL COMPENSATION ON REMITTANCE OF THE
BALANCE (US$35.MILLION) THIRTY FIVE MILLION UNITED STATES
DOLLARS ONLY. WE THEREFORE SEEK YOUR ASSISTANCE BASED
ON THE BALANCE AMOUNT OF US$35.MILLION WHICH CAN BE SPEEDILY
PROCESSED AND FULLY REMITTED INTO YOUR NORMINATED ACCOUNT,
YOU WILL BE COMPENSATED WITH 15% OF THE AMOUNT FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE
AND SERVICE.
THIS TRANSACTION IS CLOSELY KNITTED AND IN VIEW OF OUR
SENSITIVE POSITION, WE CANNOT AFFORD ANY MISTAKES, I ASSURE
YOU THAT THIS TRANSACTION IS 100% HITCH FREE. WE WILL
AVAIL YOU WITH OUR IDENTITIES AS REGARDS OUR RESPECTIVE OFFICES
WHEN RELATIONSHIP IS FULLY ESTABLISHED AND SMOOTH OPERATION
COMMENCES.
I AM AT YOUR DISPOSITION TO ENTERTAIN ANY QUESTION FROM
YOU IN RESPECT OF THIS TRANSCATION, SO CONTACT ME IMMEDIATELY
THROUGH MY EMAIL ADDRESS FOR FURTHER INFORMATION ON THE REQUIREMENT
AND PROCEDURE.
PLEASE NOTE THAT WE HAVE PUT IN MANY YEARS OF MERITORIOUS
SERVICE TO OUR COUNTRY AND THEREFORE WOULD NOT WANT OUR REPUTATION
DENTED, WE THEREFORE URGE YOU TO HANDLE THIS PROPOSAL WITH
STRICT CONFIDENTIALITY. PLEASE TREAT WITH STRICT CONFIDENTIALITY
AND UTMOST URGENCY.
