Nigeria National Orientation Agency
Federal Ministry of Information
15 Broad Street Victoria Island
RE: URGENT ATTENTION
I am the vice chairman of the senate committee on identity card and national
orientation scheme
Identity Card project was kicked off some years ago by a bill passed into
law by the national assembly which i happen to be a member for the registration
and identification of every Nigerian above the age of 18years.
During our final verification exercise we discovered an excess allocation
to our agency to the tune of Fourteen Million, Three Hundred Thousand United
States Dollar and we intend to keep this money for our personal use by fronting
you as one of the foreign contractor due for payment. This sum (US$14.3Million)
will be paid into your account as your
contractual entitlement.
The good news is that precisely 1st of April, 2004, the government has started
distributing the national identity card. The reason am writing you this mail
is that the presidency, federal republic of Nigeria have approved allocation
for payment due to all contractor (Foreign and Local) to the agency and this
gives us opportunity to transfer this
over invoiced sum to you, who we shall present as a foreign contractor.
We are handicapped in the circumstances, as the civil service code of conduct
does not allow us to operate foreign accounts hence your importance in the
whole transaction. Therefore, we want to utilize this opportunity, as a lot
of foreign contractors will be paid in this quarter of the year 2005 to transfer
the fund out of the country.
Please do not disregard this mail and for avoidance of doubt you can verify
the National Identity card projectby visiting our website as posted by Nigeria
business information in 2003 when the registration started. But do not disclose
my identity or the actual nature of this transaction as I am still a serving
officer in the ministry.

In other to present you/your Company as the beneficiary of the sum of US$14.3M.
For this purpose we will incorporate your company and register you as a contractor
with the Nigerian National Orientation Agency
(NNOA). We will also by virtue of our official positions secure for your
company the necessary backup documentation that will facilitate the release/transfer
of the fund into your account. These documents of course will be destroyed
within 10-14 working days at the successful completion of the transfer. We
want to assure you that your help will not in any way bring your company
name into disrepute.
Please reply urgently by or e-mail as we expect that the transaction will
not take more than ten working days. We shall discus sharing ratio and other
modalities when I get your response. Please note that this transaction must
be top secret.
Best Regards,
Mr Ogunbanjo (VICE CHAIRMAN)
