ATTENTION

RE:REQUEST TO TRANSFER THE SUM OF $24,000,000.00 INTO YOUR

I approach you most honourably today for a mutual business
transaction. I am Dr.Kayode Naiyeju, the Accountant-General
of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. I have been given the
opportunity to be appointed the Accountant-General after
several years of active service.

Now by virtue of my present office and position, it is an
opportunity for me to have a share of the huge oil money
which many top military personnel of the past regimes had
used my predecessors in the past to achieve their personal
interest without any benefit towards them.

Following this development, I now have an accord with a top
officer of the Finance Ministry to remit the sum of US
$24,000,000.00 (Twenty Four Million United State Dollars) to your
nominated account, hence we as Civil Servants do not have
the right to acquire foreign account while in service. I
therefore request you to kindly allocate any account of
your choice with all necessary particulars to enable me to
forward it to the Central Bank of Nigeria for onward release of fund transfer
approvals in your favour, we have ten working days to conclude this deal
on commencement, and I shall join you at the account base for sharing and
further discussion on my investment plan in your country.

We shall negotiate your percentage share on reply of this
mail for your anticipated contribution in making this
transaction a success.Do not hesitate to comment where you
do not understand.

ON SECURITY:
To ensure maximum security all correspondences shall be by
E-mail and strictly confidential.

Please protect my position in my country by keeping
everything secret unit funds in question leave our foreign
reserve account.

Finally I assure you of a 100% thorough, risk free, and
hitch free transaction.

Confirm your interest by immediate response by sending me
an E-mail.

Yours faithfully,

Dr Kayode Naiyeju
