Dear Sir,

I am the Chairman Contract Review Committee of National Electric Power Authority(NEPA).

from someone you do not know or ever seen before,I decided to contact you
based on Intuition.

We are soliciting for your humble and confidential assistance to take custody
of One Million,Two Hundred Thousand United States Dollars.{US$1,200,000.00}.
This sum (US$1.2M) is an over invoice contract sum which is currently in
an offshore payment account of central bank of nigeria as an unclaimed contract
entitlement which can easily be withdrawn or drafted or pay to any recommended
beneficiary by my committee.

As a civil servant I am not permmitted to have a foriegn accounts due to
the civil servant code of conduct and I therefore need a trust worthy partner
abroad to co-operate with me in recieveing this money on my behalf 2)Also
because of the finances required in the process of the transaction,my present
financial resources as a civil servant may not be sufficient for me to handle
the transfer alone succesffully without assistance from a good and a willing
pertner abroad On this note, you will be presented as a contractor to NEPA
who has executed a contract to a tune of the above sum and has not been
paid. Proposed Sharing Partern (%):
1. 60% for me .
2. 30% for you as a partner/fronting for us.
3. 10% for expenses that may be incurred by both parties during the cause
of this transacton. If this proposal satisfies you, do responed as soon
as possible with the following information:
1. The name you wish to use as the beneficiary of the fund.
2. Your Confidential Phone and Fax Numbers.
3.your account informatiom for the transfer to be made.This account will
be presented to the committe for approval/order of payments. Further discussion
