  DIRECTOR, ACCOUNTS AND AUDIT,
  NIGERIAN NATIONAL PETROLEUM CORPORATION (N.N.P.C)



  ATTN:PRESIDENT/CEO,

  TRANSFER OF $28,600,000:00 (TWENTY-EIGHT MILLION SIX
  HUNDRED THOUSAND U.S. DOLLARS) ONLY.

   I got your contact from the Nigerian Chamber of
  Commerce & Industry. Following this and other
  investigations resulting in a good recommendation. We
  have decided to contact you to help us with the legal
  Transfer of US$28,600,000.00 (Twenty-Eight Million Six
  hundred Thousand United States Dollars). The amount
  stated above resulted from an over-invoiced contract
  executed for the Nigerian National Petroleum
  Corporation (N.N.P.C.) for which the contractors have
  been fully paid. Because this money was part of the>  overall contract sum amounting to close to  (US$100,000,000:00) that has been completed.

  The said amount has remained dormant and floating in
  our Apex Bank. Therefore, we will raise supplementary
  documents to enable us transfer into an account that
  is yet to be nominated. We need a foreign partner,
  because as civil servants, the code of conduct does
  not allow us to operate foreign bank accounts. Hence
  we solicit for your assistance, we are requesting you
  to provide us with the help for the safekeeping of
  this money until our arrival in your country to
  collect our share and decide on investment
  possibilities of this money which you may advice,

  For your assistance in this transaction, we have
  unanimously agreed to offer you 30% of this money, 5%
  will be used in settling any incidental expenses that
  may arise after the fund must have been transferd to
  your nominated bank account and the remaining amount
  will be for us. To
  enable the prompt transfer of this money, kindly send
  to us your personal details, contact information &
  bank details in full.

  We look forward to hearing from you and thanking you
  for your anticipated cooperation and consideration in
  the above subject matter. Please be informed that we
  would appreciate the handling of this transaction in a
  confidential manner. We sincerely advise that you
  contact us on the above Telephone and fax numbers to
  maintain the confidentiality of the business. Sending
  e-mail will be appreciated.

  Yours sincerely,
  DR.PAUL EZEBO.
