Subject: Project Proposal

FROM THE DESK OF: J. C. PETERS
National Electric Power Authority,
Special Procurement Department,
NEPA Head Office,
Marina,

Lagos. Tel: +234-802-834-3776

Dear Sir,
I am Mr. J. C. Peters the Head, Procurement Department National Electric Power Authority (NEPA) My primary duty is to
inspect and receive all supplies, check all installation and recommend the suppliers/contract company to the Federal
Ministry of Finance through the accounts department of NEPA for payment.

The reason why I am contacting you is for a very confidential deal. One of our independent suppliers/contractor Mr.
Hamed Abdel Ahmed, an Egyptian based in USA; and also an international business man, supplied us some equipments,
installed 330KV transformer 2 x 150MVA and 2 x 60MVA power distribution transformers, and also he supplied 500kva
Step-Down transformers which payment was not made to him before his untimely death.

On the 31st of October 1999, Mr. Ahmed and his wife were involved in the Egyptian Air crash. Please see
site below: <http://www.cnn.com/US/9911/02/egyptair990.list/index.html> number 9 on the list of passengers who
boarded in New York.

Since then I have made several enquiries to locate any of his extended family relatives, this has proved
unsuccessful, as the only traceable next of kin (Mr. Mark S. Moore of the University of North Texas) was also
confirmed dead and already buried in Kansas, USA. After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to seek your
cooperation to use either your company/personal account and company name to front as partners of the late contract
and have the money paid to you, there after we will both share the money.

Do not respond through e-mail, reach me on my direct telephone number +234 802 834 3776 after 19hours GMT today for
further discussion as I will not want to reveal more detail until I hear from you because this is a very sensitive
matter as I will not want to loose my job until this deal is successfully completed.
Thank you as I wait your positive response.

Yours sincerely,
Mr. J.C. Peters
