I am Dr Leo Mike,Project Accountant of the Contract Award Committee of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC).In Apirl/20/2003 my cooperation was awarded some contracts for refurbishing of the petro-chemical complex at Eleme,supply and installation of rigging and drilling eqiupment and repairing of Warri and Port-Harcourt Refineries for $420,000,000.00 but with my privileged position , the contract value was over-invoiced to $427,000,000.000, this benefits me and my department $7,000,000 as over invoiced.

On August/16/2004 ,the foregign contractor that we awarded the contract received their full payments from the Central Bank of Nigeria(CBN). In this view,we require an honest and trustworthy person who will not betray our trust to use his company and account to transfer out the balance of the over in-voiced before we could share it, because if we use our local account for the tranfer, CBN will suspect us.

That is why we want to bestow this trust on you and it is our sincere wish that you do not betray us .So it is because of the balance of $7m which we now have left that we are sending you this confidential e-mail ,we have favoured an incentive of 10% to you as the account owner and 5% to offset all expenses that might be incured on the process of the tranfer, while the remaining 85% will for me and my department.

Confirm to me your trustworthiness and acceptance of this proposal, Please your urgent response is greatly required and should you not be in a position to assist,kindly inform me as quickly as possible so that i could make an alternative arrangement. Pls reply through leo_mike23@yahoo.co.in

Thanks for your cooperation.
Dr.Leo Mike
