Dear sir

I am Mr Peter Kabilla Accountant to the Contract Award and Mon
itoring Committee (C.A.M.C) in the Nigeria National Petroleum
Corporation (NNPC).

Sometime in 2002, my committee awarded a contract to a Conglomerate
of Foreign companies attached to NNPC.
The contract was over-invoiced to the tune of $45.million US Dollars this

was done deliberately; the over-invoicing was a deal by members
of my committee to benefit from the project. We now desire to transfer
this money, which is presently in a suspense account of NNPC with
the Central Bank of Nigeria into an overseas account, which we expected
you to assist us in providing a receiving foreign account, hence we are
not allowed to operate a foreign account as a civil servant.

You will be benefited For providing the account where we shall remit the
money,
30% of the money will be for you,60% will be for mw and my partners,
while 10% has been mapped out from the total sum to cover
any expenses that might beincurred during the course of this
transaction, both local and international expenses.
I would require the following information from you: 1) The name
and address of your bank(2) Your account number/swift code The above
documents will be used to make formal applications as a matter of
procedure for the release of the money for onward transfer to your
account.

It does not matter whether or not your company does project of
this nature described here, the assumption is that you WON A MAJOR
CONTRACT and subcontracted it out to other companies more often
than not, big trading companies or firms of related fields win major
contracts and subcontracts to more specialized firms for execution of such
contracts. We have strong connections at the Central Bank of Nigeria and
the
Federal Ministry of Finance and we have no doubt that all this money
will be released and transferred if we get the necessary Foreign
Partner(s) to assist us in the deal.

Therefore, when the business is successfully concluded, we shall
through our same connections withdraw all documents used from all
the concerned government ministries for 100% security.

If this proposal is of interest to you, then contact me through
my E-MAIL ,I wait in anticipation of your cooperation.
Best Regards,
Mr Peter Kabilla.
