Be informed that my partner Dr. Maikanti Baru and I awarded a contract to a foreign firm (Sheng Yang Contraction Company) with contract Ref No: NNPC/PED/1462/KADREF/92) for the maintenance of the Nigeria petroleum-chemical complex located at Kaduna, Nigeria.

Right now, we are left with this overestimated balance of (U$D98, 000,000.00) which is still floating at the escrow account in the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) waiting for final payment to any reliable foreign bank account you may provide.

Therefore we need a reliable person who will provide us with a foreign account where to transfer and deposit this US$98,000,000.00. This is the reason we are soliciting for your sincere assistance to provide us with an account where to transfer this money. All modalities for the easy transfer of this money are now in place, the period of this transaction is only two weeks from the day we receive your bank account details.

The balance of 10% will be allocated to cover all expenses incurred by both partners, be informed that this proposal is urgent and confidential, Please send to me your bank account details and full address of company name and address, your private phone and fax number for easy communication which will be used in securing all the necessary documents for easy transfer of the fund.
