This just goes to prove, you can't be too careful who you
befriend on "Friendster" or anywhere else! Good 'ol "Badmus w Crane" has got his
career as a civil servant (accountant) at the "Nigerian National Petroleum
Corporation (NNPC)" in order, and now he's ready to try to steal money from an
"over-invoiced account" by transferring out of the country, with your help, of
course.
Hello my Dear Lora,
How'r you doing today,your health,studies and everyone around you.
Well to say the truth i miss you so much and i thank you for creating time to
write me,am thankfull.
sorry you have'nt hear from me for a while now,you need to understand the
lavel and suituation of my job..
I've seceeded in storing all my goods(crude oil) in a ware house here in
these island,waiting for them to be export out of the country to the
states(America).the problem is that i have a business proposal that is holding
me down right here.
Lora i will like you to help me out with it cos u'r the only one i can trust
now...
Having consulted with my colleagues and based on the information gathered
from the Nigerian Chambers Of Commerce And Industry, I have the privilege to
request your assistance to transfer the sum of $500,000.00 ( five hundred
thousand United States dollars) into your accounts. The above sum resulted from
an over-invoiced contract, executed, commissioned and paid for about five years
(5) ago by a foreign contractor. This action was however intentional and since
then the fund has been in a suspense account at The Central Bank Of Nigeria Apex
Bank.
We are now ready to transfer the fund overseas and that is where you come in.
It is important to inform you that as civil servants, we are forbidden to
operate a foreign account; that is why we require your assistance. The total sum
will be shared as follows: 70% for us, 25% for you and 5% for local and
international expenses incidental to the transfer.
The transfer is risk free on both sides. I am an accountant with the Nigerian
National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC). If you find this proposal acceptable, we
shall require the following documents:
(a) your banker's name, telephone, account and fax numbers.
(b) your private telephone and fax numbers — for confidentiality and easy
communication.
(c) your letter-headed paper stamped and signed.
Alternatively we will furnish you with the text of what to type into your
letter-headed paper, along with a breakdown explaining, comprehensively what we
require of you. The business will take us thirty (30) working days to
accomplish.
Please reply urgently.
Best regards
Badmus w Crane
