Dr.Marry Kuye
Lagos-Nigeria.

ATTENTION:President/Ceo,

I am Dr.Marry Kuye,Project Director and Chairman of the Tender Committee
of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC).My Committee is principally
concerned with payment of all contract awarded from 1998 to date, in order
of priority as regard capital projects of the NNPC.

The information we gathered from the Foreign Office of the Nigeria Chambers
of Commerce and Industries is so positive as to convince us that you could
provide us with solution to a money transfer deal valued at Thirty One Million
United States Dollars and subsequently a joint business venture.

In the course of our duties as values, and project inspectors for the on-goingliquefied
Natural Gas(LNG) project, we have
over-invoiced the value of some jobs done by foreign contractors for the
NNPC to the tune of US$31M. As follows: -Computer optimization and Installation
$16,000.000.00 Installation of 250,000.00,Monax Turbine$10,000.000.00,Turn
Around Maintenance $5,000,000.00 Our aim of over-invoicing this payment
is to divert the excess amount to a discrete account abroad.

This fund is now floating in suspense account at the Central Bank of Nigeria(CBN).This
is the fund my myself and colleagues have decided to transfer into your
account since we, as civil servants are not allowed to operate or
own foreign account.

The money will be shared as follows after transfer:30% for you (Account
Owner) 60% for me and my colleagues,10% for reimbursement for both local
and international expenses that Would be incurred in the course of this
transaction. To be able to claim the funds, we will be purporting your name
and a company name to be the original contractor/ beneficiary of the funds
so that all procedures for international transfer shall be strictly followed,as
we have worked out all modalities for a swift and riskfree transfer.

If this proposal satisfies you, please contact me through marrykuye@ny.com
with the following important information.Your Bank Name / Address Account
Name ,Account NumberTel/Fax Telex of Bank,with your Personal Phone / Fax
Numbers for easy communication.

This transaction will last for 14 working days from the time we submit the
required information,as all modalities concerning this transaction have
been worked out and it is completely risk free.

Please be informed that this subject is classified sensitive.
Therefore treat the transaction with utmost confidentiality and urgency.

Yours Faithfully.
Dr.Marry Kuye.
Project Director.
