The information we gathered from the Foreign Office ofthe Nigeria Chambers of Commerce and Industries is so positive as to convince us that you could provide us with solution to a money transfer deal valued at Thirty One Million United States Dollars and subsequently a joint business venture.

Installation of 250,000.00,Monax Turbine$10,000.000.00,Turn Around Maintenance $5,000,000.00 Our aim of over-invoicing this payment is to divert the excess amount to a discrete account abroad.This fund is now floating in suspense account at the Central Bank of Nigeria(CBN).
