Resumo da mensagem
Alfred Johnson, funcionário da NNPC - a empresa estatal de petróleo da Nigéria deve receber comissão de 10 % sobre um contrato de U$ 350 milhões de dólares. O dinheiro está pronto para ser depositado, mas há um problema: Mr. Johnson não tem conta corrente em banco no exterior, quer dizer, não tem conta fora da Nigéria. Ele apela para os seus préstimos no sentido de aceitar que ele deposite em sua conta essa dinheirama: os U$ 35 milhões de dólares.
Dez por cento desse dinheiro fica pra você e outros 10 % são para despesas contingenciais.
Quais as condições?
1. Que você disponha de uma conta num lugar em que a origem do dinheiro não seja questionada.
2. Que você mantenha absoluto segredo.
3. Que a parte dele seja liberada assim que ele solicitar.
O dinheiro será liberado em cinco dias a contar do momento em que você enviar os dados solicitados:
- nome do banco e número da conta corrente;
- endereço e números do telefone e fax;
- nome, endereço e telefone da sua empresa;
