Subject: partnership

Mr.Malachi Idiaka
email: malachiidiaka001@yahoo.co.in

ATTN: SIR/MADAM,

I am Mr.Malachi Idiaka, the Financial Director/Chief Account officer of
Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). This Organization (INEC)
was in charge of conducting Elections held in my country Nigeria on 19th of
April 2003.Consequently, on April 2003, about US$90 Million was allocated
to this Agency by the new Democratic Administration that is Governing the
Political Sovereignty of the Federal Republic of Nigeria till date.

On disbursement of the (US$90 Million) which was meant for the organization
and execution of the General Elections of 2003.At the end of the whole
exercise , only about US$62 Million of the total sum was utilized in
conducting all the election, leaving us my agency (INEC),with a balance of
US$28 Million .

Having concluded all stages of the Election and the elected Government
already in power, it was left for my office to give account of all expenses
incurred in conducting the election.While balancing the account,I and the
Head of Auditing Department(Audit Director INEC ) who is my partner in this
transaction have been able to use our influential positions to inflate our
supposed expenditure thereby having the sum of US$17.5M (Seventeen
Million,Five Hundred Thousand US Dollars Only) left for us to disburse from
the (INEC) treasury account with the intention of transferring the funds
out of the country to any reliable foreign bank account pending when we
shall come over to your country and collect our percentage which we intend
to specifically invest in your country.

We are particularly interested in investing our share of the fund into Real
Estate Business,this will also afford an opportunity of purchasing good
property/house good enough to accomodate my family and I, as I have planned
to resign from this position as soon as the fund is transfered into your
account.

As the Chief financial Director of (INEC) I was in charge of all the funds
mapped out for the supply/contracts, I have already given a break down of
my expenses to the authorities concerned showing that out of the US$90
Million mapped for the project,that US$10.5 Million was the balance left in
(INEC's) Purse.That means we have made it categorically clear to them that
the Total Expenditure was US$72.5Million.

Meanwhile, the US$17.5 Million which was acquired through over invoicing is
currently deposited with a Financial Institution awaiting proper
documentations and claims to transfer the said fund into your designated
bank account.

NOTE:

Our reason for contacting you in this confidential transaction is due to
the fact that, as Top Civil Servant working under Government
Establishment/Corporation,we are not allowed to operate foreign account as
it is against the new Government Code of Conduct Bureau and based on this
difficult situation, we have no other option than to ask for your
Assistance in transfering this fund out.

If you can handle this transaction for our joint benefit, please get back
to me on the email above so that I can give you more details on this
matter, as what is required now is to register you as a Contractor who
supplied Voting Materials to our Agency for the April 19 2003 Election (ie
BALLOT BOXES)to enable the bank transfer the fund in your favour
immediately.

NOTE:

Your business status does not matter in this transaction,what matters is
your ability to handle the amount of this magnitude. I want you to
understand that this transaction must be kept in utmost confidentiality and
secrecy because of my position here.

We will discuss the percentage due when we talk.I look forward to hearing
from you soon.

Yours sincerely,

Malachi Idiaka
(INEC)
