I got your address and necessary information from the Nigerian-online-business directory as I picked a keen interest for a business relationship.

I am a director with the Budget and Planning Department in Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), Lagos. We, the members of the Tenders' Board in collaboration with the contract Appraisal Director in this corporation over inflated the contract value(TURN AROUND MAINTENANCE (TAM) OF THE TWO OF THE SOUTHERN REFINERIES) awarded in 1997 to an expatriate firm with the consideration of 10% commission agreement on the total contract value.

This contract has been completely executed and the contractor has been paid all the phases instalment system agreed on, remaining US$31Million. This US$31 million represent 10% contract value commission we demanded.

However, we ask for your hand in relationship by your providing all necessary assistance for the fund to be paid into your account. We hereby solicit your account number where the fund will be remitted into since it is not possible for us to claim it here in Nigeria, it is our intention to invest some part of it  in your business (if you accept ) and other viable companies with your advice, some part would be used in the purchase of finished products from your country for sale in Nigeria while the balance you would help us to put in a fiduciary or trust account.

Some part of the 60% which is our share will used for the importation of your products while the remaining may be kept for any other investment you may advice.

All modalities to effect the transfer of the fund has been worked out and there is absolutely no risk involved, IT IS IMPORTANT TO KNOW THAT THIS BUSINESS IS ABSOLUTELY CONFIDENTIAL AS WE ARE STILL WORKING WITH THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.

It is pertinent also, to note at this point that importation of your product will be continual, hence if this business transaction is successful and in completion (i.e. when the money gets to your account) we shall have a face to face meeting for closer deliberation because we will resign from the
government services to private business.
