Niger-Delta Development Commission
No.1, NDDC Avenue, Port-Harcourt,
Rivers State, Nigeria.

Dear Sir,

I am one of the Director-General of Niger-Delta Development Commission (NDDC),
constitutionally mandated with the responsibility of managing of Niger-Delta
Development Fund for the development of the region. Niger-Delta is the south-south
geographical area of Federal Republic of Nigeria. The region is endowed
with natural resources, which constitute about 95% of our national income.


Consequently to the exploration of Oil and Gas, there has been verse ecological
and environmental pollution in this region. Rather unfortunate, the region
lacks most in fractural amenities. These and much more have necessitated
the establishment of Niger-Delta Development Commission, immediately after
the inception of this present democratic government in Nigeria.

Sequel to the passing of bill by the National House of Assembly (the legislative
organ of the Government) and duly accented to by the president, legitimizing
the operations of the Commission by an act of law. The Commission has, therefore,
been constitutionally empowered to implement a policy, which will relatively
address the long-standing neglect of the region. Encouraging, the commission
having successfully inherited the fine accruing from the violation of the
Associated Gas Injection Act of 1979, the oil companies operational in the
region have also been mandated to pay 5% of their taxable profit to Niger
Delta Development Fund, kept in (NDDC) account in Apex Bank (CBN) - with
my commission having jurisdiction over the fund.

The fund has since incurred well over hundred million dollars. The commission
having performed its duties diligently in identifying, negotiating and awarding
people oriented contracts worth millions of dollars, myself and colleagues
want to have fifty million eight hundred and fifty thousand united states
dollars (US$50, 850, 000.00) transferred abroad for our personal use Consequently,
we want you to assist have the fund remitted into your account.

I assure you that the transaction is 100% risk- free and scam /money laundry
as we have concluded every arrangement to protect the interest of every
one involved. Likewise, all modalities for the successful transfer of this
money have been worked out with the Federal Ministry of Finance and the
Apex Bank (CBN) to facilitate the remittance of this money into your designated
bank account.

However, I would want to believe that you are trustworthy/honest enough
and will not raise any misgiving attitude in any aspect of the transaction,
more importantly, you will keep this transaction very confidential so as
not to tarnish the confidence reposed on these official by the Government
of Nigeria.

Upon your acceptance to collaborate with us, we will front you to have performed
a contract with the commission, therefore, the beneficiary of the fund .Every
document in respect of the contract, legitimizing you as the true beneficiary
of the fund and authorizing you its immediate remittance into your nominated
account shall be obtained and perfected. Importantly, however, due to the
nature of the fund and the need to have the esteemed personality of myself
and colleagues involved in this transaction protected, we have agreed to
jointly invest the fund in your economy.

Note, for your assistance you shall be compensated with 25% of the fund
while 5% is for any expense incurred during the transaction. You are hereby
required to furnish me with the following information's: (I) Your name
and address (ii) your company name and address (iii) Your private telephone
and fax numbers, so that I can write letters of claim on your behalf and
forward them to our Apex Bank (CBN) for approval, who would then make contact
with you and credit your account with the total amount of US$50,850,000.00.

I assure you that if you will follow my instruction, the fund shall be in
your Account within 14 working days of submiting your details to the ministries
concerned, your line of business does not necessarily matter in this transaction

Your immediate response will be highly appreciated.
Best regard .
