Dear,
 
REQUEST FOR URGENT BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP TRANSFER OF US$25,500,000.00
 
This letter may come to you as a surprise since it is coming from someone you have not met before. I got your contact from the world trade bureau with further confirmation from a reliable source.   
 
However, we decided to contact you based on a satisfactory information we had about your business person as regards this business information concerning your country and safety of our funds in a steady economy such as that of your country compared to our country Nigeria, Africa. 
 
I am Mr. Kennedy David a director in the project and planning department of the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), I head a seven man Tenders Board Committee in charge of contract award and Payment approvals.
 
There were series of contracts executed by a consortium of Multinationals in the oil industry in favour of the (NNPC) among which were; 
 
1)    The expansion of Pipeline network within Nigeria for crude oil and downstream products distribution and subsequent evacuation -  US$2 Billion. 
 
2)    Contract for Turn Around Maintenance (TAM) of various Refineries in the country. 
 
3)    The construction of Storage Tanks for Petroleum Product (Depots)-US$94 Million. 
 
The original value of of these contracts  were deliberately over invoiced in the sum of Twenty Five million, Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars US$25,500,000.00) which has recently been approved and now ready to be transferred. However the companies that actually executed the aforementioned contract have been fully paid and the projects officially commissioned. 
 
Consequently, my colleagues and I are willing to transfer the total amount into 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.

This business is 100% risk free as we have secured our own side of the transaction. To accord this transaction the legality it deserves, and for mutual security of funds, the whole procedures shall be legally processed with your name or any company you may nominate as the bona fide final beneficiary. 
 
Once more, I want you to understand that having put in over 20 years in the Civil Service of my country, I am very  much averse to having my image and career dented.
