THESE FUNDS ARE PRESENTLY TRAPPED IN THE NIGERIA NATIONAL PETROLEUM CORPORATION (NNPC) ACCOUNT WITH CENTRAL BANK OF NIGERIA (CBN). THESE ARE AS A RESULT OF GROSSLY OVER-INVOICED CONTRACTS WHICH WERE EXECUTED FOR THE NNPC DURING THE LAST ADMINISTRATION IN NIGERIA AND ARE PRESENTLY UNDER VERIFICATION.

I HAVE BEEN DELEGATED AS A MATTER OF CAPABILITY BY MY COLLEAGUES TO SECURE THE COOPERATION OF AN OVERSEAS PARTNER INTO WHOSE ACCOUNT THIS OVER INFLATED SUM COULD BE TRANSFERRED FOR ONWARD DISBURSEMENT AMONG US.
