Sir,
This will come to you with a degree of surprise and scepticism since we have
not actually met before. But permit me to introduce myself. I am Andrew Lai
Usman, the Secretary/Clerk of the House of Representatives Committee on
Power and Steel" , Federal House of Representatives, Federal Republic of
Nigeria. Part of my responsibility to the Committee in particular and the
House in General include but not limited to proper recording/records
keeping,information gathering , preservation and dissemination among others.
I work closely with the Chairman of the Committee, Mr Ndudi Elumelu.
It may interest you to note that this Committee is presently probing the
huge financial misappropriation of about $16bn in the Power Sector by the
immediate past leadership of the Country under General Olusegun Obasanjo.
The ongoing probe has resulted in revelations of massive economic waste.
Contract Over-Invoicing, funds diversions, fraudulent and fictitious
payments during the period under review in the power sector.Please, view the
following links.

The Proposal.
The reason why I am sending you this information is about one particular
OVER-INVOICED contract sum totally $22m (Twenty Two Million Dollars). This
was a personal and private discovery made by myself among others. While
other over-invoiced sums were disclosed or revealed to the committee for
investigation, this particular discovery has not been exposed. It is clearly
and carefully concealed and has been smuggled successfully and included to
the list of those payments that have received the approval of both the
Ministry of Finance and the National House of Assembly on the recommendation
of the Power Sector probe committee.
The Original contract has been completed, commissioned and contractor paid
living behind this over-invoiced sum. I need your indulgence to have this
money paid to you. You will be successfully presented as the owner of the
$22m and will subsequently be paid. I will use my influence, good political
relationship with all to ensure that the payment is approved in your name.
40% of the $22m which represents $8.8m will be yours.
10% will be used to grease the elbows of those that will fast track the
payment in the Bank and the Government Ministries. while the rest shall be
mine.
If this gets your attention and approval and you are interested, send me the
following promptly:
1) Your Full name and address.
2) Telephone, cell phone and fax numbers if any.
3). Confidential Email address. Name of company if any.
It is important to inform you that this is a highly confidential transaction
and should be kept secrete.
Looking forward to your favourable reply.
Email; lai_usmanandrew@myway.com
Thanks
Mr Andrew Lai Usman.
