"Make millions helping me defraud somebody else..."

Dear Mike Roberts

Sir,

REQUEST FOR ASSISTANCE TO TRANSFER MONEY INTO YOUR COUNTRY.

I need your help sir. I am the chairman of the Contracts Award Ratification  and Payment  Committee of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC). In 1999, a contract was awarded for the complete Turn Around Maintenance (TAM) of the Kaduna  Refinery of the NNPC for the total sum of $188,501,000 USD. On completion of the job, the sum of $170,000,000  USD leaving an outstanding balance of $18,501,000 USD was paid to the Main General Contractor that carried out the TAM.  This outstanding sum of  $18.5m USD represent the P.R fees/gratification that the main general contractor agreed should be deducted from the contract sum. The name of a "ghost" company Orient Petroleum Services  was listed as the beneficiary of the $18.5 m USD. Orient Petroleum Services was entered as a foreign company based in your country.

This sum of $18.5 m USD has been approved for payment to the nominated  offshore account of  Orient Petroleum Services. This is therefore clear and clean funds not related to drugs or arms or of such criminal origin.
Our problem is , desperately, an offshore bank account in your country to which this amount of $18.5m USD can be transferred into.  The thing is that we want an  account to be provided to be used as the nominated offshore account of Orient Petroleum Services.  The account can possibly be in the name of Orient Petroleum Services to which the funds  is to  be remitted. This problem has arisen because my partner, the former minister of State for Petroleum Affairs who had an account in your country is now dead.

If you provide me with an  account to be used as the nominated offshore account to which this money can be remitted and held , we hereby agree and guarantee that for your effort and part I will give to you the sum equivalent to 20% of the total sum remitted.  Believing that this amount will be adequate compensation to you for your part, sincerity and trust. Some money will be used to settle any out of pocket expenses on taxes, contingencies, e.t.c. that may arise. 

The remaining  sum of $15,000,000 USD is for myself and my other colleagues which money shall be held in the account you provide on trust for me until I arrive to meet with you upon remittance of the money into the account.  Note that the Central Bank of Nigeria has allocated foreign exchange  for this payment.

 To avoid delay arising from the time needed for the registration of the company we have decided to use any private bank account as provided by you as the nominated offshore account of Orient Petroleum Services. Any simple account will do provided you have complete control over the account. There need not be any money in the account to avoid future arguments.

Send to me upon receipt of this letter, if it meets your favour:

1. The account of your choice to be used as the nominated offshore account of the company.  The account name, numbers, and other details. 

2. Details of the Bank  i.e. the name, physical address, Telephone / Fax, and the Bank's Swift code etc.

3. Your physical address  together with your Fax  and Telephone Nos. in event of communications by the remitting Bank .

NOTE IMPORTANTLY that immediately I receive the above information  same will be filled into the payment records and forwarded on behalf of NNPC to the Central Bank of Nigeria (C.B.N) for the remittance of the funds to the provided account.  The wiring of the funds will be completed within 48hours. Once the payment has been made by wire the CBN will issue and send you the T.T copy showing the crediting of the account with the payment and I will travel immediately to meet with you and disburse the funds as agreed.

You will understand the need for great confidentiality in a transaction  like this, more so, as i am a civil servant still in service. I pray for your assistance. We will all smile as I have done everything neccesary to secure this payment.

Best Regards.
