ATTN:THE MANAGING DIRECTOR.

Dear Sir,

I know this will come to you as a surprise but never mind, I got your
contact in my search for a reputable and trust worthy person/Company,
who can stand confidently with me in this successful business
arrangement. Before I proceed, I will like to introduce my humble self
to you.
I am, the Auditor General of a Government Accredited Oil Company here
in Nigeria. Certainly, the prompting of this letter to you is anchored
on my strong desire to solicit your sincere understanding and co-
operation in this transaction that would certainly boost the financial
stand of both parties involved when completed. As a matter of fact, We
want to transfer to overseas (US$ 152,000.000.00 USD) One hundred and
Fifty two million United States Dollars) from the Oil company's
operating Bank
account here in Africa, I want you to quietly look for a reliable and
honest person who will be capable and fit to provide either an
existing
bank account or to set up a new Bank A/C immediately to receive this
money, even an empty account can serve to receive this money, as long
as youwill remain honest to me till the end of this important
transaction, trusting in you and believing in God that you will never
let me down either now or in the near future.
In all honesty, during the course of our auditing I discovered a
floating fund of the above mentioned amount in account opened with the
bank in 1990 and since then, nobody has operated on this account
again,
after going through some old files in the records I discovered that
the
money in the account was mapped out for the refurbishment of the Oil
Company's Machineries. Meanwhile, Mr. Magnus Leon, the President of
the
Oil Company
was the only signatory to the account, but unfortunately he died after
a brief illness in 1993. And no other person knows about this account
or any thing concerning it, and the account has no other beneficiary.
And my investigation proved to me that Mr. Magnus Leon, until his
death
had wanted to siphoned that money into his personal account in New
York
hence he did not disclose the operating devises of the account to the
Board of Trustees.
I am only contacting you in this regard, based on the fact that you
are
a foreigner because, this money can only be approved to any foreigner
who can present all documents that will prove that he/she is the Next
of Kin/Beneficiary to the account base on the fact that Mr. Magnus
Leon
the owner of this account is a foreigner, and the money can only be
approved into a foreign bank account.
Therefore, if you are capable of handling this transaction with me,
lets make the necessary arrangement for the hitch-free transfer of
this
money to any safe bank account that you may nominate, on a share
percentage bases.We will start the first transfer with Fifty Two
Million USD [$52,000.000] upon the successful actualization of the
first transfer, without any disappointment from your side; we shall re-
apply for the
payment of the remaining amount, to your account. However, we shall
sign a binding agreement, to bind us together as partners in this
regard.
I am revealing this to you with believe in God that you will never let
me down in this business, you are the first and the only person that I
am contacting for this business, so please reply urgently and indicate
your sincere interest, so that I can inform you on the modalities
already mapped out for the hitch-free transfer of the money out of
Africa here.
I will require your direct phone and fax number for easy contacting
you
I need your full co-operation to make this work adequately. Upon your
positive response and once I am convinced that you are capable and
Willing to meet up with the instructions of the top bank official that
is deeply involved with me in this business, I shall commence actions
immediately to process the payment of the money in your favor as the
beneficiary.With my influence and the position of the bank official we
can transfer this money to any reliable foreign bank account, which
you
can provide.
I am looking forward in anticipation to hearing from you soon as
possible.
Yours truly,
Mr.HENRY IBE
