Dear,
I am Jeff I. Daniels, Lawyer & World Bank Senior Auditor (Washington DC USA). World Bank, in conjunction with the NNPC, has appointed me to audit the financial books and records of Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) from 2002 to 2012. Because there have been so many unclaimed and unpaid contract funds lying fallow and not paid for years, the World Bank, together with the Federal Government of Nigeria, has ordered the immediate audit review of all financial books and records of Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC including contract papers between 2002—2012 to ascertain reason or reasons why these numerous contract funds are not paid. In the course of my audit and accounting investigation at the Petroleum Corporation as World Bank Appointed Independent Auditor, one of the unclaimed numerous contract funds amounting to multi-million US Dollars caught my attention.
The contract has been long executed and the contract payment approved and ready for release but the foreign expatriate contractor, Hansen-Lee Bucker, an Asian-American who executed the contract, has died since 2005 in the South American island of Martinique while on vacation. Since December 2005, the Contract Fund has been ready to be paid to either his Associate or Representative, but the contract documents did not specify or made mention of the name of either his Associates or Representatives to receive the fund. As a Lawyer and Auditor that worked on the contract details and have all facts and documents about the contract, I have the legal contract documents to present you to the Corporation as his Associate or Representative to enable us claim the fund as I have copies of all Original Contract Documents/Papers. I audited the Corporation and with these original documents, the contract fund is as good as claimed.
The good news is that the Corporation has approved the payment to be released via the Corporation's Offshore Bankers in USA, JP Morgan Chase Bank New York. The contract fund is to be paid to the Associate or Representative to the deceased Contractor, Hansen-Lee Bucker. I need your partnership to claim the contract fund. I shall present you to the Corporation as his Associate or Representative and I will back it up with the Original Contract documents at my disposal and the fund will be released to us while we share it accordingly in a percentage that will be good both of us.
I will give you my details, copy of my identification and further details of the Contract once I receive your response agreeing to partner with you to claim this fund.
I wait for your reply.
