DEAR SIR,
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR RESPONSE TO MY BUSINESS PROPOSAL TO YOU.PLEASE SORRY FOR THE DELAY IN RESPONDING BACK.  I HAVE INFORMED MY COLLEAGUES OF YOUR RESPONSE AND WITH YOUR APPARENT UNDERSTANDING OF THE NEED FOR CONFIDENTIALITY IN ALL MATTERS RELATING TO THIS TRANSACTION, WE HAVE DECIDED TO MOVE WITH YOU.  PLEASE FIND THE DETAILS BELOW.

I GOT YOUR ADDRESS FROM AN ASSOCIATE OF MINE WHO IS AT THE NIGERIAN CHAMBER OF COMMERCE AND INDUSTRY.  THIS IS A PLACE IN MY COUNTRY WHERE THEY HAVE RECORDS OF ALL FOREIGN AND INTERNATIONAL BUSINESSES WORLDWIDE.  WHEN WE WANTED TO BEGIN THIS TRANSACTION WE HAD TO GO THERE TO SOURCE FOR A TRUSTWORTHY AND COMPETENT FOREIGN PARTNER WITH WHOM WE COULD DO BUSINESS WITH.  HOWEVER, WE DID NOT DISCLOSE THE NATURE OF BUSINESS WE WANTED TO TRANSACT WITH YOU, SO YOU CAN BE REST ASSURED THAT CONFIDENTIALITY WAS MAINTAINED.

WHAT MUST BE DONE:
YOU ARE TO TRANSCRIBE THE ACCOMPANYING SPECIMEN APPLICATION FOR PAYMENT THAT IS ATTACHED TO THIS EMAIL INTO YOUR LETTERHEAD PAPER AND RETURN TO ME BY FAX TODAY TO ENABLE ME MAKE APPLICATION FOR THE FUNDS TRANSFER TO THE CENTRAL BANK OF NIGERIA (C.B.N.) THROUGH MY OFFICE THE NIGERIAN NATIONAL PETROLEUM CORPORATION (N.N.P.C.).  PLEASE PROVIDE A CONFIDENTIAL FAX NUMBER FOR FUTURE FAX COMMUNICATION TO YOU.  WE WILL HAVE A NOTARY PUBLIC ENDORSE THE FAX COPY SO IT CAN SERVE AS AN ORIGINAL. YOUR COMPANY SHALL BE INTRODUCED BY US AS THE BONAFIDE CONTRACTOR AT THE NIGERIAN ANATIONAL PETROLEUM CORPORATION (N.N.P.C.) AS WHO EXECUTED THE CONTRACT NO. 043/NNPC/SW-NE/97.  BASED ON THE HOMEWORK WE HAVE DONE, THE APPLICATION WILL BE APPROVED AND SENT TO THE FEDERAL MINISTRY OF FINANCE (F.M.F.) AND THE CENTRAL BANK OF NIGERIA (C.B.N.) FOR THE FINAL APPROVAL, AFTER WHICH THE MONEY WOULD BE TRANSFERRED TO YOUR NOMINATED ACCOUNT BY TELEGRAPHIC TRANSFER OR SOLAR DRAFT FOR US ALL.

THE CONTRACT WILL BE PERCEIVED TO HAVE BEEN EXECUTED BY YOUR COMPANY FOR THE NIGERIAN NATIONAL PETROLEUM CORPORATION (N.N.P.C.) WHICH IS THE FEDERAL STATUTORY CORPORATION, FOR WHICH THE ORIGINAL CONTRACT WAS DONE, WHILE ITS VERY NATURE AS AN ORGANISED DEAL, REMAINS WITHIN OURSELVES (PARTNERS ONLY EXCLUSIVE KNOWLEDGE).

WE BEING CIVIL SERVANTS ARE VERY CONSCIOUS OF THE DICTATES OF LAW THIS IS IN ORDER TO SAFEGUARD OUR POSITIONS AS CIVIL SERVANTS AND ALSO THE LEGAL INTERESTS OF YOUR COMPANY NOW AND IN THE FUTURE FOR THIS WE WOULD MAKE SURE YOUR COMPANY IS REGISTERED WITH THE NIGERIAN NATIONAL PETROLEUM CORPORATION (N.N.P.C.) AS A CATEGORY "A&B" CONTRACTORS BECAUSE ONLY A BONAFIDE REGISTERED COMPANY IS GRANTED CONTRACTS.  BECAUSE OF THESE REASONS, WHAT I WILL ADVICE IS THAT THE PROCESS OF SEEKING OF APPROVAL FROM THE DIFFERENT MINISTRY AND MAKING FINAL PAYMENT TO YOUR DESIGNATED ACCOUNT SHOULD BE DONE BY US REPRESENTING YOU.  THIS WILL BE ACHIEVED AFTER I HAVE REGISTERED YOU AS A CONTRACTOR AND ALSO FILLED YOUR APPLICATION FOR PAYMENT.

ONCE THE APPROVAL OF THE FEDERAL MINISTRY OF FINANCE (F.M.F.) IS READY, THE FOREIGN CONTRACTOR AMENDMENT ACT OF 1995 PROVIDES THAT THE BENEFICIARY OF THE CONTRACT PAYMENT SHALL BE REQUIRED TO BE PRESENT IN NIGERIA TO ENDORSE THE CLASSIFIED TRANSFER DOCUMENTS AT THE INTERNATIONAL REMITTANCE OFFICE OF THE CENTRAL BANK OF NIGERIA (C.B.N.) OR ENDORSE THE CLASSIFIED TRANSFER DOCUMENTS IN ANY OFFSHORE OFFICE NORMINATED TO YOU.  ALTERNATIVELY, IF THE BENEFICIARY IS UNABLE TO COME TO NIGERIA OR GO OFFSHORE TO ENDORSE, HE IS LIABLE TO RETAIN THE SRVICES OF A LOCAL ATTORNEY WHO IS A REGISTERED CONSULTANT AT THE CENTRAL BANK OF NIGERIA (C.B.N.), TO ENDORSE ON HIS BEHALF, PROVIDED THERE IS A PROPERLY EXECUTED POWER OF AUTHORITY TO THAT EFFECT.  PLEASE COMMENT.

I WANT TO REASSURE YOU THAT ALL EXPENSES INCURRED BY ALL PARTNERS IN PROCESS OF THIS TRANSACTION SHALL BE PAID BACK FIRST WHEN THE FUNDS ARE REMITTED FROM THE 10% SET ASIDE FOR REFUNDING OF ALL EXPENSES INCURRED BY BOTH PARTNERS DURING THE COURSE OF THIS TRANSACTION AND THE REMAINING WILL BE SHARED ACCORDING TO THE AGREED RATIO OF 75% FOR US AND 15% FOR YOU.

AT THE END THE TRANSACTION TWO OF US SHALL ARRIVE THE COUNTRY OF OYUR NOMINATED BANK ACCOUNT FOR THE PURPOSE OF SECURING OUR SHARE AND USING YOUR ASSISTANCE TO INVEST OUR SHARE OF THE MONEY IN ANY VIABLE BUSINESS IN YOUR COUNTRY.

PLEASE, IMMEDIATELY YOU HAVE READ THIS EMAIL AND TOTALLY UNDERSTOOD ITS CONTENTS, YOU SHOULD TRANSCRIBE THE SPECIMEN APPLICATION INTO YOUR LETTERHEAD AND SEND TO ME THROUGH MY FAX NUMBER STATED ABOVE OR SEND IT AS AN ATTACHMENT BY EMAIL.
