Subject: VERY IMPORTANT MESSSAGE !
Sir,
REQUEST FOR URGENT BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP
First I must solicit your strictest confidence in this transaction,this is by virtue of its being utterly confidential and top secret as I got your contact on my private search on the internet and I listed your name amongst four other names and prayed over them and decided to contact you directly.
Though, this medium (Internet) has been greatly abused, I choose to reach you through it because it still remains the fastest, surest and most secured medium of communication, However this Correspondence is unofficial and private, and it should be treated as such.
Before I introduce myself, I wish to inform you that this letter is not a hoax or Scam mail and I urge you to treat it with the seriousness it deserves.
Iam the chairman Contract Review Panel (CRP) set up by the federal government of Nigeria to review contracts awards payments in the Petroleum (Special) Trust Fund (PTF) during the previous administration.
Petroleum (Special) Trust Fund (PTF) was established and given a mandate to revive the nation's collapsing social and physical infrastructures in the areas of roads, water ways,education,health,food and security services
In the course of my work on the Contract Review Panel (CRP), I discovered this fund which resulted from grossly over-invoiced contracts which were executed for the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) during the last administration. The companies that executed the contracts have been duly paid and the contracts commissioned leaving the sum of fifteen million eight hundred thousand United States Dollars(USD 15,800,000.00) floating in the escrow account of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) in China ready for payment.
I therefore as a matter of trust decided to look for an oversea partner to whom we could transfer the sum of fifteen million eight hundred thousand United States Dollars(USD 15,800,000.00) legally due to the fact that our service code of conduct forbids us from owning foreign running foreign accounts while in government service.
I have agreed that the fund will be shared thus thrity(30%) of total the money will go to you for acting as the beneficiary of the fund while I retain seventy percent(70%) as the initiator.
All I require from you now is your follow
1) Name in Full:
2) Address in Full:
3) Telephone #:
4) Age:
5) Occupation:
Please your discussions regarding this transaction should be limited because am are still in government service and intend to retire peacefully at the end of this transaction so let honesty and trust be our watchword throughout this transaction and your prompt reply will be highly appreciated.
Best regards
David Owotutu
