Dear Respateble One,

Please accept my apology if this mail does not suit your personal or business
ethics, it is not my intention but the matter at hand is one of great importance
to me.

My Name is Hon.Emmanuel Aguariavwodo,Managing Director ceo , Niger Delta
Development Commission (NDDC), Nigeria.

I came to know about you in my private search for a reliable Person to handle
a confidential transaction on behalf of myself. As a matter of fact, I am
searching for an individual who will fit perfectly into the business at
hand.

I write in respect of one of our costomer, who unfortunately lost his life
in the plane crash of Alaska Airlines Flight 261, which crashed on January
31, 2000, including his wife and children leaving nobody to claim his contract
payment money. You shall read more news about the crash on visiting this
site: (http://www.cnn.com/2000/US/02/01/alaska.airlines.list)

Dr. David Clemetson, was an American and great industrialist and a resident
of Fairbanks, Alaska. Prior to his death, Dr. David Clemetson. supplied
goods worth US$8 Million in 1999 and was awaiting his payment before his
untimely death.

Since the death of this man, nobody has come forward to claim the money
on his behalf as next of kin to the late Dr. David Clemetson. It is only
an insider, the contractor or a next of kin who has information about the
contract that could produce the particulars of the contract and as such
be able to lay claim to this money. Also the funds can only be released
to a foreigner. Hence, I have arranged to front you as the next of kin to
Dr. David Clemetson, so that you can sign-off the release of his payment
of US$8 Million contract payment and hence have the money claimed from the
Bank our official paying bank.

Rather than have this fund reverted to the Consolidated Account of the NDDC,
I seek your consent to front you as his Next of Kin. We will handle all
financial embodiments, logistics and documentations to legitimize it. You
shall provide an account for the transfer of the funds.

All I require from you is total confidetiality,your honest co-operation,willingness
and ability to work with me on this transaction with a good arrangement
and understanding to enable us see this transaction through.

Upon the receipt of your reply, I will send to you by fax or e-mail the
procedure we shall take to effect the release of the US$8 Million from the
NDDC and its affiliate bank.

Please confirm your interest by immediate response on this private Email:honemmanuel@teenmail.co.za
or honemmanuel_md@yahoo.com


Thanking you in anticipation and I will give you a telephone number where
to reach me as soon as I confirm your serious interest. More details when
I hear from you.

I Will Need You contact me with this private Email:honemmanuel@teenmail.co.za
or honemmanuel_md@yahoo.com

Yours Faithfully,

Hon.Emmanuel Aguariavwodo
(Managing Director nddc Nigeria)
