DEAR.

COMPLIMENT OF THE DAY. I WISH TO EXTEND THIS
MUTUAL BUSINESS PROPOSAL TO YOU WITH THE HOPE THAT YOU
WILL GLADLY ACCEPT IT. I AM THE PRINCIPAL AUDITOR OF THE
NIGERIAN NATIONAL PETROLEUM CORPORATION.

A POST I HAVE HELD FOR THE PAST THREE YEARS. IN THE
COURSE OF DISCHARGING MY DUTY LAST YEAR, I DISCOVERED
THAT SOME GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS IN THE PAST, COMMITTED
SOME IRREGULARITIES IN THE FORM OF INVOICED CONTRACT
VALUES, WHICH EVENTUALLY GO INTO THEIR PRIVATE BANK
ACCOUNTS.

WHAT INTEREST ME MOST AND FOR WHICH REASON I AM
WRITING YOU IS THIS PARTICULAR CONTRACT WHICH WAS
AWARDED TO A FOREIGN CONTRACTOR, IT WAS OVER ESTIMATED
TO THE TUNE OF US$ 28.8 M (TWENTY EIGHT MILLION, EIGHT
HUNDRED THOUSAND U.S. DOLLARS). THIS CONTRACT HAS BEEN
COMPLETED AND COMMISSIONED AND THE CONTRACTOR FULLY
PAID, BUT THE US $ 28.8 M OVER ESTIMATED VALUE OF THE
CONTRACT IS STILL LYING AT THE CENTRAL BANK OF NIGERIA
(CBN). BECAUSE OF THE HASTE WITH WHICH THE LAST
GOVERNMENT WAS REMOVED FROM OFFICE, THESE MEN HAS NO
CHANCE TO COLLECT THIS MONEY BEFORE LEAVING THE
OFFICE. BUT AS A RESULT OF UPDATED PAYMENTS ADVISE AT
THE CENTRAL BANK OF NIGERIA (CBN), IT HAS BEEN
AWAITING TRANSFER TO A FOREIGN ACCOUNT.


IN MY REPORT, I RECOMMENDED THAT THIS MONEY SHOULD BE
PAID BUT ON THE CONDITION THAT THE CONTRACTOR SHOULD
BE INFORMED. MY RECOMMENDATION WAS ACCEPTED AND I HAVE
BEEN GIVEN THE ORDER TO GET IN-TOUCH WITH THE FOREIGN
CONTRACTORS, BUT SINCE THE CONTRACTOR HAS BEEN FULLY
PAID FOR THE JOB HE DID, I WANT TO DIVERT THIS MONEY
TO ANOTHER FOREIGN ACCOUNT.

HAVING DONE ALL THE NECESSARY GROUND WORK, THIS MONEY
IS IN MY POSSESSION AND I AM LOOKING FORWARD FOR A
TRUST WORTHY PERSON, INTO WHOSE PRIVATE OR COMPANY'S
ACCOUNT THIS MONEY WILL BE TRANSFERRED INTO. I WISH TO
RETIRE FROM SERVICE AFTER THIS TRANSACTION AND GO
INTO BUSINESS IN YOUR COUNTRY THROUGH YOU AS MY AGENT.


YOU ARE THEREFORE REQUESTED TO KINDLY ALLOW ME TO
TRANSFER THIS MONEY INTO YOUR ACCOUNT PROVIDED THAT I
CAN WITHDRAW THIS MONEY WHEN I WANT TO. UPON THE
TRANSFER OF THIS MONEY, 65% OF THE TOTAL SUM WILL BE
FOR MY COLLEAGUES AND ME WHILE 30% SHALL BE FOR YOU
THE ACCOUNT OWNER AND THE REMAINING 5% SHALL BE SET
ASIDE TO REFUND EXPENSES MADE IN THE COURSE OF THIS
TRANSACTION.

BE ASSURED THAT THIS BUSINESS IS RISK-FREE BUT THE
KEYWORD IS THE CONFIDENTIALITY DUE TO THE NATURE OF
THE TRANSACTION AND MY POSITION IN THE MINISTRY.


KINDLY TREAT AS URGENT AND CONTACT ME IMMEDIATELY
THROUGH MY E-MAIL ADDRESS, YOU WILL BE FULLY DETAILED
WHEN I HEAR FROM YOU. BANK PARTICULARS.

TELEPHONE AND FAX NUMBERS ARE VITAL TO THE SUCCESS OF
THIS TRANSACTION FOR UPDATING AND REMITTANCE PROTOCOL.


BEST REGARDS,
CHIEF JOHNSON ANI
