Attention
I hope you would know the essence of my contact with you. I sincerely promise that the deal is 100% risk-free to both sides; hence our top powers to execute it.
My names are Engr Usman Bello, Director Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR). My term of reference involves the award of contracts to multinational companies. My office is saddled with the responsibility of contract Award, screening, categorization and privatization of projects embarked upon by Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR) as well as feasibility studies for selected projects and supervising the project consultants involved.
A breakdown of the fiscal expenditure by this office as at the end of last fiscal quarter of 2017 indicates that (DPR) paid out a whooping sum of US$2B (Two Billion United States Dollars) to successful local and foreign contractors. The (DPR) is now compelling beneficiaries to be paid for this Third Quarter first Batch of the year 2018.
The crux of this letter is that the Finance/Contract Department of the (DPR) under my instruction deliberately over-invoiced the contract value of the various contracts Awarded. In the course of disbursements, me department has been able to accumulate the sum of $31MUSD (Thirty-One Million U.S Dollars only) as the over-invoiced sum.
This money is currently in a suspense account of the (DPR) account with the Debt Reconciliation Committee (DRC). We now seek co-operation, and financial assistance, to process the transfer of this fund officially as contract payment to you as a foreign contractor, who will be fronting for us as the contractor/beneficiary of the fund. In this way we can facilitate these funds into your nominated foreign account for possible investment abroad. We are not allowed as a matter of government policy to operate any foreign account to transfer this fund into.
Now my questions are: -
1. Can you handle this project?
2. Can I give you this trust?
3. I intend to give you a 30%, if you can facilitate the movement of this fund into your account, and assist me financially through the execution process.
Be informed that on completion of this Project we will use part of our own share to invest in your country under your care. Please note that the transfer operation will take ten working days to be completed.
Please send the requested information below to ME so that we can proceed further.
(1) Your Full Name, and contact address.
(2) Your Direct Mobile Line.
(3) Your occupation, and company name if any.
(4) Your Full Banking Details Where the funds will be transferred into.
Thanks, And Remain Blessed
Best regards,
Engr Usman Bello,
DIRECTOR, DEPARTMENT OF PETROLEUM RESOURCES (DPR).
Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC)
