Dear Sir,



Please allow me introduce myself and my proposed investment plans in your
country. First I must stress that my intention here is to establish a long
Mutual partnership and investment opportunities with you in your country.
I got your contact through an associate who works with Export Promotion
Council. It was during a trade exhibition in your country that he discovered
about the good reputation of your person/company. This is a unique opportunity
for we both to expand and explore more business expertise to grow higher
in developing micro economy in both countries.



I am Dr. Eng. Ola David. I am the director of Project Implementation on
contract awards, crude oil lifting, and major contracts in the National
Oil Cooperation (NNPC). My good self and two of my colleagues have US$85.5
million made from our department through topping on crude oil sells and
gratifications from contract awarded to foreign companies. The companies
have since completed their work and have received their due payments. This
US$85.5 million have received all due Approval with the help of a few colleagues
in the Apex bank and Ministry of finance. All the legal justification for
this payment has been provided to the bankers at the point of transfer.




By virtue of our official positions, the ethics of civil service here does
not allow us to open foreign accts until after retirement. You have my 100%
assurance that all the legal reasons for this payment will be made perfectly;
hence I have concluded arrangement to use a foreign trust firm to justify
our claim on your behalf. You are only required to furnish us with your
Name/Company, Address, Tel, Fax, and Email and bank coordinates, which will
be programmed into our database as one of the original contractor and beneficiary
to this fund. You will have a 20% share while 5% will be for any expenditure
made during the transfer process, you will safe keep 75% for us, we shall
invest our part of this into joint venture investment with you in your company.
My colleagues and me will require your personal assurance from you of the
safety of this fund when it is transferred in your position. Also two people
will come down to join you immediately this fund enters your account.



If you?re interested in handling this with us, kindly declare your interest
by, sending to us the above requirements to conclude this transfer within
10 banking days. For confidentiality send all mail through my private Email
address, incase of FAX; you can reach me on my private phone no: 234-805-341-0797,
to give you a private fax no., out of my office for confidentiality. But
I will also call you on receipt of your details.

Awaiting your urgent response on this issue.

Best regards.

Eng. Ola David,

Director ? NNPC.
