ATTENTION: THE PRESIDENT/MANAGING DIRECTOR
 
DEAR SIR,
 
REQUEST FOR URGENT CONFIDENTIAL BUSINESS 
RELATIONSHIP RE: TRANSFER OF US$28.6 AMERICAN
DOLLARS INTO ACCOUNT.
 
AFTER DUE DELIBERATION WITH MY COLLEAGUES, I DECIDED TO FORWARDTO YOU THIS BUSINESS PROPOSAL. WE WANT  A RELIABLE PERSON WHO COULD ASSIST US TO TRANSFER THE SUM OF TWENTY EIGHT MILLION, SIX HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED STATE DOLLARS (US$28.6M) INTO HIS/HER ACCOUNT.
THIS FUND RESULTED FROM AN OVER-INVOICED CONTRACT AWARED BY US UNDER THE BUDGET ALLOCATION TO MY MINISTRY AND THE BILL WAS APPROVED FOR PAYMENT BY THE CONCERNED MINISTRIES. THE CONTRACT WAS EXECUTED, COMIISSIONED AND THE CONTRACTOR WAS PAID HIS ACTUAL COST OF THE CONTRACT. WE ARE LEFT WITH THE BALANCE OF US$28.6M AS THE OVER INVOICED AMOUNT WHICH WE HAVE DELIBERATELY OVER ESTIMATED FOR OUR OWN USE BUT UNDER THE PROTOCOL DIVISION, CIVIL SERVANTS ARE FORBIDDEN TO OPERATE OR OWN FOREIGN ACCOUNT. 
 
THIS IS WHY, I CONTACT YOU ROR AN 
ASSISTANCE. WE HAVE AGREED TO SHARE THE MONEY AS FOLLLOWS:
1. 30% FOR YOU (ACCOUNT OWNER)
2. 60% FOR US
3. 10% FOR TAX, AS MAY BE REQUIRED BY YOUR GOVERNMENT.
 
AS YOU MAY WANT TO KNOW AND TO MAKE YOU LESS CURIOUS, I GOT YOUR ADDRESS FROM OUR REPUTABLE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE AND INDUSTRY AND I AM THE EXECUTIVE CHAIRMAN OF THE CONTRACT AWARD COMMITTEE OF THE NIGERIAN NATIONAL PETROLEUM CORPORATION (NNPC). 
 
THE TRANSACTION IS VERY MUCH FREE FROM ALL SORT OF RISK HENCE THE BUSINESS WAS CAREFULLY PLANNED BEFORE IT WAS EXECUTED AND WE THE N.N.P.C. OFFICALS INVOLVED IN THE DEAL HAVE PUT MANY YEARS IN SERVICES TO OUR MINISTRY. 
 
WE HAVE BEEN EXERCISING PATIENCE FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY FOR SO LONG AND TO MOST OF US, THIS IS A LIFE TIME OPPORTUNITY WE CANNOT AFFORD TO MISS.
 
TO GET THIS FUND PAID INTO YOUR ACCOUNT, WE HAVE TO PRESENT AN INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS OUTFIT AND CONSEQUENT UPON INDICATION OF YOUR INTEREST TO FULLY ASSIST US IN THIS TRANSACTION, YOU ARE ADVISED TO FURNISH US WITH THE FOLLOWING.
1. YOUR BANKER’S NAME AND ADDRESS
2. YOUR BANK ACCOUNT NUMBER AND ROTINE CODE NUMBER IF ANY
3. THE BANK TELEPHONE, FAX AND TELEX NUMBERS
4. THE NAME OF BENEFICIATY OF THE ACCOUNT
5. YOUR PRIVATE TELEPHONE AND FAX NUMBER FOR EASY COMMMUNICATION.
 
THIS INFORMATION WILL ENABLE US SEEK APPROVAL OF THE FUND FROM THE CONCERNED QUARTERS WITHIN 3-4 BANKING DAYS AND THE NIGERIA PETROLEUM CORPORATION (NNPC) PAYMENT INFORMATION DATA WILL BE FAXED IMMEDIATELY TO YOU FOR COMPLETION. 
 
ONE OF MY COLLEAGUES AND I INVOLVED IN THIS DEAL WILL COME TO YOUR COUNTRY TO ARRANGE FOR OUR OWN SHARE UPON CONFIRATION FROM YOU THAT THE MONEY HAS HIT YOUR NOMINATED BANK ACCOUNT. 
ALL THIS WILL ONLY TAKE US ABOUT 14 WORKING DAYS TO TRANSFER THIS FUND INTO YOUR ACCOUNT FROM THE DAY WE RECEIVE THE REQUIREMENTS.
NOTE HOWEVER, THAT DUE TO OUR POOR TELECOMMINCATION SYSTEM, WE FIND IT DIFFICULT TO DIAL OUT (INTERNATIONALLY.) THIS OFTEN AFFECT OUR INCOMING CALLS FROM ABROAD. FURTHERMORE, IN YOUR BID TRYING TO GET THROUGH TO ME, YOU MAY RECEIVE SOME DISCOURAGING TELEPHONE SIGNALS RANGING FROM SUSCIBER NOT AVAILABLE, ALL TRUNKS ARE BUSY;
 
PLEASE TRY LATER, TELEPHONE SWITCH OFF AND MANY OTHER DAUNTING SIGNALS. DO NOT EVEN BE DISCOURAGED AS IT HAS TO DO WITH OUR POOR TELECOMMUNICATION EQUIPMENT STATED ABOVE HENCE, I ADVISE YOU TO KEEP DIALING UNTIL YOU GET HROUGH, DO NOT GO THROUGH INERNATIONAL OPERATOR BECAUSE OF THE CONFIDENTIALITY INVOLVED IN THIS TRANSACTION.
 
LET HONESTY AND TRUST  BE OUR WATCHWORD THROUGHOUT THIS TRANSACTION.
 
I SHALL FURNISH YOU WITH SOME DETAILS ABOUT MYSELF. YOUR PROMPT REPLY WILL BE HIGHLY APPRECIATED.
 
BEST REGARDS.
