Dear Sir,

URGENT  ASSISTANCE
STRICTLY  CONFIDENTIAL

First and foremost, I apologised using this medium to reach you for a
transaction of this magnitude, but this is due to confidentiality and
prompt access reposed on this medium.I have decided to seek a confidential
cooperation with you in the execution of the deal described hereunder for
the benefit of all parties and hope you will keep it as a top secret due
of its sensitive nature.

Your particulars were given to me by a member of the Nigerian Export
Promotion Council(NEPC)  who was at the Federal Government Delegation to
your country during a trade exhibition.  I have decided to seek a
confidential cooperation with you Through your E-mail in the execution of
the deal described hereunder for the benefit of all parties and hope you
will keep it as a top secret because of the nature of this business.
Within the Ministry of Petroleum Resources where I work as a
Director,Contract Award Committe and with the cooperation of four other
top officials,we have in our possession as overdue payment bills totalling
Thirty Five Million, Five Hundred Thousand U. S. Dollars(US$30,500,000.00)
which we want to transfer abroad with assistance and cooperation of a
foreign company/individual to receive the said fund on our behalf or a
reliable foreign non-company account to receive such funds.

Moreso, we are andicapped in the circumstances as the Nigeria Civil
Service Code of Conduct does not allow us as civil servant to operate
offshore accounts,hence your importance in the whole transaction.The
amount represents the balance of the total contract value executed on
behalf of my Ministry by a foreign contracting firm which we the officials
over-invoiced deliberately.  Though the actual contract cost have been
paid to the origional contractor, leaving the balance in the tune of the
said amount which we have in principles gotten approval to remit by
Telegraphic Transfer (T.T) to foreign bank account you will provide by
filing in an application through the Federal  Ministry  of Justice for the
transfer of rights and privileges of the formal contractor to you.

Since the new civilian government of my country is determined to pay every
foreign contractor all debts owed so as to maintain good relationship with
foreign government and non-governmental financial agencies, therefore we
have decided to include our bills for approvals with the cooperation of
some officials from the Federal Ministry of Finance and the Central Bank
of Nigeria(CBN). We are seeking your assistance in providing a vital
account or any virgin bank account into which we can remit this money by
acting as our main partner and trustee.  This we can do by swapping of
account and changing of beneficiary and other forms of documentation upon
application for claim to reflect the payment and approvals to be secured 
on behalf of you.

This processes being pre-arranged with the principal trustee of the
original contractor and  with the consent of the origional contractor. I
have the authority of my partners involved to propose that should you be
willing to  assist us in this transaction your share of the sum will be
15% of the US$35.5 million, 80% for us and 5% for taxation and
miscellaneous expenses. The business itself is 100% safe for both parties,
provided you treat it with utmost secrecy and confidentiality.

Also your area of specialization is not an hindrace to the successful
execution of this transaction. I have reposed my confidence in you and
hope that you will not disappoint me. Please Indicate Your Willingness by
replying this mail with your  Fax/Tell Number through this e-mail via 
address@hidden  Due to the confidentiality of this deal,so that we can
discusse one on one. Thanks for your cooperations.
