Attn: Sir/Madam,

TRANSFER OF $10,250,000:00 (TEN MILLION ,TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY THOUSAND
U.S. DOLLARS) ONLY.

I got your contact from the 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$10,250,000:00 (Ten Million, two hundred and fifty 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$78,000,000:00)
that has been completed.

The said amount has remained dormant and floating in the paying 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 25% 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.

Yours sincerely,
A. L .Yaradua,
Group Managering Director (NNPC)
