Dear Friend,
I am Engr.Desmond Elliot, the chief Accountant of The Nigeria National
Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) and I head a five man tender board in
charge of contract award and payment approvals. I came to know of you
in my search for a reliable person to handle a very confidential
transaction, which involves the transfer of a huge sum of money to a
foreign account.
There were series of contracts executed by a consorting of
multinationals in the oil industry in favor of Nigeria National
Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) among which were for the following:
1. The expansion of the pipelines network within for a crude down
stream products distribution and subsequent evacuation, which cost
$8bUSD(8 Billion United States Dollars).
2. Contract for the turn around maintenance (TAM) of the various
Refineries in the country $115 million United States Dollars.
3. The construction of storage tanks for petroleum products (depots)
$190 Million United States Dollars.
The original value of these contracts were deliberately over invoiced
in the sum $39mUSD (Thirty nine Million United States Dollars Only)
which has now been approved and is now ready to be transferred, being
that the companies that actually executed these Contracts had been
fully paid when the projects were officially commissioned.
It does not matter whether your company did the contract or not, the
assumption is that your company won the major contract and sub-
contracted it out to other companies. Consequently, my colleagues and I
are willing to transfer the total amount to 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. Needless to say, the trust imposed on
you at this junction is enormous.
In return, we have agreed to offer you 30% of the transferred sum, the
remaining 70% is for us, the Nigerian officials.Modalities have been
worked out at the highest level of the ministry of finance and the
central bank of Nigeria for the immediate transfer of the fund within
14 working days subject to your satisfaction of the above stated terms.
Our assurance is that your role is risk free, I accord this transaction
the legality it deserves and for mutual security of the fund, the whole
approval procedures will be officially and legally processed with the
name of any company you may nominate as the bonafide beneficiary of the
above mentioned amount.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
risk free
. Once more, I want you to understand that having put in over
21 years in the civil service of my country, I am very careful to have
my image and career deemed.
One blank letterhead, one invoice sheet and your bank particulars
through my above address, as time is not on our side in the business.
Send by Email for security reasons: http://mymail.india.com/scripts/mail/compose.mail?compose=1&.ob=8fa25690bfbfc4c1086d9260210718bf103f21d9&composeto=desliot%40omaninfo.com
Thanks as I wait in anticipation for your fullest co-operation.
Very truly yours,
Engr.Desmond Elliot

Dexter, who died leaving some funds unclaimed in our bank without any beneficiary.Am aware that you might not be related to him but I want you to stand in as the beneficiary of which I will fill you in since I work in the same bank where the fund is being deposited before the death of the Late account Holder and I have all the details for the transfer properly.I will work with you if only I have your words on not standing on my share of the money when being transferred to you.This requires a private arrangement,Could you perhaps be able to receive these funds under legal claims then I will fill you in. I am willing to pay a generous management and transfer fees and your participation 30%.I will need you in legal capacity to stand as his beneficiary.I have all the details and will fill you in if you are really willing.Your major role will be to open a bank account in your country that can contain the said amount where the funds will be transferred.The funds in question are quite large ( $26 M USD ).I will expect a straight answer from you.Yes or no.If yes,then let's work out the modalities and a brief profile of your person is expected. Closing with anticipation. Mr.Vincent Oronto E.

Good day to you.
Dear Sir,
I hope this letter meets you well, I am Mr. FREDERICK WILLIAMS I am
sorry if I have intruded on your privacy or barged in on you without
your permission. I have a very rewarding project which I think will be
beneficial to both of us putting trust,confidentialty and most of all
the fear of God into focus. If after going through this email you do
not find
it interesting please disregard it and send me a formal response.
I was a member of the Abuja National stadium building and organizing
committee of the just concluded "ALL AFRICAN GAMES" which was organized
and hosted by Nigeria but before now I have been a director of sports
in the Federal Ministry of Sports and Youth Development.
We were appointed over 3 years ago to supervise the building of the
ultra modern Abuja National Stadium,putting in place all equipments
needed for the completion of the stadium which is acclaimed to be one
of the best in the world today and also involved in the planning and
hosting of the games. This project cost the government of Nigeria
Millions of dollars.
The stadium project has been completed,all equipments put in place and
commissioned and used for the All African Games tagged "ABUJA 2003".The
accounts have been rendered to the government satisfactorily and we
have received commendations for a job well done.
During the construction, planning and execution of this project,as the
chairman of contract award committee I was able to make some money for
myself through contract that was awarded to Dewolfgang Gmbh which I
over-invoiced to the tune of USD18.5M with the help of Dewolfgang Gmbh
the original contractor.
All I want you to do is to assist me in clearing this amount while
standing in as the owner and director of Vacknol Nigeria International
Limited in whose name I made as the beneficiary of the funds. Vacknol
Nigeria International Limited is an international company and could
have a company anywhere in the world the most important thing been that
it is registered here in Nigeria as a limited liability company in line
with the company and allied matters decree of Nigeria which I have
since done, I have also in my possession some contract document which
will act as proof that Vacknol Nigeria International Limited executed
the contract as a sub contractor under the Dewolfgang Gmbh who is the
major contractor that executed the
contract that was over -invoiced.
On the payment of this money to you as the supplier in the name of
Vacknol Nigeria International Limited because I will apply for the
transfer in this name,and you as the director of the company. I will
come to meet with you so that we can both sit down and discuss
further,what kind of business we will enter into or if need be expand
your already existing business, but actually I hope to establish a
five star hotel and go into real estate development as these are life
time businesses that I know are of high yeild interest any where in the
world.
I know you will be entitled to some percentage of this money as
compensation for your efforts, Please feel free to indicate what you
will take from this amount,as this is very important to me before we
commence proceedings.
I will tell you more about this when I hear from you.I will give you
every detail of what we are to do . I want to assure you my dear friend
that with your cooperation and understanding the sky will be our limit.
Please do contact me immediately.
Regards.
Frederick Williams.
