Dear,

RE: TRANSFER OF USD 9,500,000.00(NINE MILLION, FIVE

HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED STATES DOLLARS ONLY) TO A SAFE

ACCOUNT.

I wish to intimate you with this proposal in my

capacity as General Manager Finance and full agreement

with the Auditor-General of this Company (Nigeria

Liquefied Natural Gas).We scrutinised all records and

the accounts of awarded and executed contracts of this

company (NLNG) during the previous military regime,

since the inception of democracy in Nigeria and

carefully uncovered and mapped out a whooping sum of

USD $9.5m which we want to transfer to your account as

the beneficiary.

It might interest you to know that beginning of this

current civilian government at a working asset capital

of USD 3billion and will definitely gulp more USD 2

billion on the completion of the fifth part. You can

authentically apply for supply if it interests you to

be our client with full guarantee from me.The money

$9.5m has been approved for payment by this company

NLNG, the Federal Ministry of Finance (endorsed by the

Accountant General of the Federation) and to be paid by

the Apex bank of Nigeria. Under contract number,

NLAG/FGN/FMF/CBN/B2517/99. As top civil servants, we

are not allowed to operate foreign bank accounts hence

our decision to use your account in full trust and

confidence to transfer this money outside Nigeria.

We have accepted you as our foreign partner and will

regularize and update the approvals to reflect you as

the true beneficiary of the contract sum USD$9.5m (NINE

MILLION, FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED STATES DOLLARS).

Moreover, it is pertinent to note that it is not risky

and does not require much engagements since we have

taken care of the deal in full capacity.

We have resolved to give you 20% of the total sum for

your assistance.If you are interested in this deal,

please contact me through my email. Address above for

more likely information. Remember to give me your phone

and your fax number through which I can call and send

you approved documents for your perusal your mailing

address should also be included.

I am anxiously waiting for your response with hope that

you will understand the confidential nature of this

transaction. If you do have any question to ask you can

also call me on my private number above.
Best regards,

George Williams

NB:PLEASE NOTE THAT IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT YOU SEND A

COPY OF YOUR RESPONSE TO MY DIRECT AND SECURE EMAIL
