Subject: From Mr. Aliyu Usman
IKOYI – LAGOS.
I am Mr. Aliyu Usman, 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.
I came to know of you in my search for a reliable and reputable 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 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 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.
Needless to say, the trust reposed in you at this juncture is
enormous. In return, we have agreed amongst ourselves
to offer you 30% of the transferred sum, 5% shall be set aside for any
incidental expenses during the course of this
transaction, you will then be mandated to revert the balance to us in
due course.
You must however NOTE that this transaction is subject to the
following terms and conditions; our conviction of your
transparent honesty and diligence, that you must accord this
transaction with utmost confidentiality and secrecy.
Modalities have been worked out at the highest levels of the Ministry
0f Finance, Central Bank of Nigeria and the
Presidential Task Force on Contract Payment for the immediate
remittance of the funds within 10 – 14 working days
subject to your satisfaction of the above terms.
Our assurance is that your role shall be totally risk free. 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 careeris matter should therefore be
treated with utmost secrecy and urgency.
Kindly expedite immediate action as we are well behind schedule to
enable us include this transfer in the second
batch of the 2022 fiscal year contract payments.
BEST REGARDS.
Mr. Aliyu Usman
