This was received in Belgium. It's just a tad more blatant than usual, and herein appears the first mention we have seen of "Apex Bank". This bank may or may not exist; if it exists, it probably doesn't know its name is being used. This "Dr. Sheriff Lawal" is using (abusing) a Yahoo account in the UK. From: sheriff lawal Subject: URGENT BUSINESS PROPOSAL To: (kindly contributor) DR.SHERIFF LAWAL TEL/FAX:234-90-401593 Attn: (kindly contributor, name withheld), STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL & URGENT. I am a member of the Federal Government of Nigeria Contract Award and Monitoring Committee in the Nigerian NationalPetroleumCorporation(NNPC). Sometime ago, a contract was awarded to a foreign firm in NNPC by my committee. This contract was over invoiced to the tune of US$21.5M.This was done deliberately. The over-invoicing was a deal by my committee to benefit from the project. We now desire to transfer this money which is in a Suspense Account with NNPC in any Overseas Account which we expect you to provide for us. For providing the account where we shall remit the money, you will be entitled to 30% of the money, 70% will be for me and my partners. I would require the following:1) Bankers Name and Address (2) Telephone and Fax Number of Bankers 3) Sort/ABA/Routing Number of Bankers 4) Account Number 5) Name of Beneficiary/Company Name /Address. 6) Telephone and Fax No. of Beneficiary The above information would be used to make formal applications as a matter of procedure for the release of the money and onward transfer to your account.It does not matter whether or not your company does contract projects of this nature described here, the assumption is that your company won the major contract and subcontracted it out to other companies. More often than not, big trading companies or firms of unrelated fields win major contracts and subcontract to more specialized firms for execution of such contracts. We have strong and reliable connections and contacts at the Apex Bank and Federal Ministry of Finance and we have no doubt that all this money will be released and transferred if we get the necessary foreign partner to assist us in this deal. Therefore, when the business is successfully concluded we shall through our same connections withdraw all documents used from all the concerned Government Ministries for 100% security. We are civil servants and we will not want to miss this opportunity. Please contact me immediately through my above e-mail address or Tel/Fax number 234-90-401593, whether or not you are interested in this deal. If you are not, it will enable me scout for another foreign partner to carry out this deal. But where you are interested, send the required documents aforementioned herein without delay, as time is of the essence in this business. I wait in anticipation of your fullest co-operation.Yours faithfully, DR.SHERIFF LAWAL. Stay far, far away from the Lads who wrote these! |
