    Attn:president/Ceo.

    STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL BUSINESS PROPOSAL RE: TRANSFER OF US$21.5 MILLION (TWENTY ONE MILLION,
    FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND US DOLLARS ONLY).

    I know this email will reach you as a surprise, but need not to worry as we are using the only secured and confidential medium available to seek for foreign assistance/partnership in a business transaction which is of mutual benefit.

    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 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 Federal Government owned Parastatals.

    Please contact me immediately through my email address whether or not you are interested in this deal. If you are not, it will enable me scout for another foreign partner to carry out this deal. But where you are interested, send an email to me and i will furnish you with more details as time is of the essence in this business.
    I wait in anticipation of your fullest co-operation.

    Yours Faithfully,

    Dear Friend,

    As regards your swift response i decided to give you
    additional
    information,I wish to explain that this transaction is
    100% legal and genuine and the funds in question
    emanated from an over invoiced
    Contract that my Committee awarded to a Multinational
    Company.
    The contract was for the Contruction, Installation and
    Laying of Pipe in Port-Harcourt and Warri Refineries.
    It was awarded at the sum of US $671.5million; but the
    contractor's
    actual estimate was $650million.
    The contractor has now been fully paid his contract
    sum, less this
    excess amount, which we now wish to transfer into the
    account we expect
    you to provide for us.
    This amount has been in a suspense account with the
    Central Bank of
    Nigeria; and we, as Civil Servants (Government
    Workers) are not allowed
    to operate foreign bank accounts.The way we intend to
    go about it is
    that we will incorporate your Company in Nigeria, and
    backdate all the
    papers to the time when the Contract was awarded.
    We will then raise engineering approvals and other
    contract approval
    certificates in your favour, to show that you executed
    work for the
    Nigerian Government.
    With these documents, we will process your Company
    information into our
    payment chart and apply for the payment of other
    contractors,alongside
    yours.
    Payment will then be processed by the Central Bank of
    Nigeria in your
    favour, and the Central Bank of Nigeria will transmit
    the money via
    telegraphic transfer to your nominated Bank account,
    after which, we
    will withdraw all documents relating to the payment as
    double security
    measure to clean up all records.
    All these will take about 6 working days to complete.
    We will travel to meet you in your country as soon as
    the transaction
    has reached advanced stage, in order to await the
    arrival of the Funds.
    We will bring along, all the Original Documents
    relating to the payment
    to justify the basis for the payment, and to convince
    your Government
    and your Bankers that the funds are not Drug related
    nor Money
    Laundering. This is a deal, and it has taken almost a
    lifetime of
    working (with the Government) for my colleagues and I
    to arrange.
    However, we are working with you in good faith and we
    expect you to
    reciprocate same.
    We are very serious and responsible people and we wish
    to do this
    transaction with a serious and responsible person
    hoping not to be
    betrayed.
    At least we require this assurance for our peace of
    mind.
    Please forward your company name,address,phone and fax
    numbers and Bank name,address,account and routing
    numbers immediately to my email box as soon as
    possible

    Best Regards.

    Bank account number? yea right! I was wondering when the punch line was coming LOL! After I read the first post I was thinking, man someone is being awful risky to try to launder money, then I saw the part about wanting YOU'RE bank account #. I would contact someone about this before some blithering idiot DOES fall for this.

    I actually heard a talk show host or something similar stating, as a fact, that this and the related scams are responsible for Nigeria's third largest revenue.

    It's so bad that I now have a spam filter (give this a try for yourself) for the term "Union Bank of Nigeria", which catches about 60% of these.

    Turn it in. We get tons of 'em. Someday, after piecing enough information together, they'll catch'em. It takes time to build a case. However, there are agencies which keep track of these scams.
