Private and Confidential Proposition

Attention,

I have been instructed by my colleague to look for a
foreign partner or company who can assist us to execute an urgent
business involving huge profit and international cooperation. We are interested
in the importation of Solar Panels, Agricultural equipment and Computer
accessories from overseas and we need a foreign partner who can assist us
with a bank account for the transfer of US$52.000.000.00.I am an accountant
with the Energy Department,Abuja Nigeria and this money originated from
over-invoiced contract sum executed for the corporation some years back.
This contract has been completed by a foreign firm and the contractor
duly paid. I now seek if you would permit the surplus to be remitted
into your account. We have resolved that 20% will be your commission for
nominating a bank account and a company that will receive this fund on

our behalf and any Other assistance you may give in this deal. 10% of
the entire sum has been mapped out to settle any outstanding expenses we
may incur in the process of this funds transfer, while 70% of our share
will be used for the importation. My colleagues and I are civil servants
and as members of the contract review panel. It is against the (code of
conduct bureau) for us to operate a foreign account, hence we are soliciting
your firm support. We can finalize the transaction in 8 working days.
If this deal is accepted. please respond to us via e-mail to enable us
provide you with the detailed modalities for the successful completion of
the project. There is no risk involved, we just need international contact
that is reliable to work as our Partner.

Yours Sincerely,

Dr.Issa John Oboshi (PhD.Econs)
