From: Kelvin Deprieye <kkvindeprieye@fsmail.net>

Subject: BUSINESS PROPOSAL
Dear Sir/Madam,
This letter may come to you as a surprise, but be assured that it is in good faith from a friend in dare need of help. I am Mr. Kelvin Deprieye, personal assistant on special matters to Bayelsa State Governor, Chief Deprieye Alamieyeseigha, recently arrested in London, the British capital on charges of money laundering on Thursday the 15th of September 2005.
You were introduced to me by a career diplomat whom I consulted in my search for a reliable individual/company who can assist me in putting claims to a deposit in Europe of a reasonable sum of money US$ 75.5Million (Seventy Five Million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) into your company’s private account for safekeeping. Originally this money (US$75. 5 million) was mapped out for investment and safe keeping in Europe pending when my boss was finally out of office, due to prevailing impasse of his arrest i have been mandated by his family to quickly source for a partner who can put claims on this deposit from the Security deposit company before the authorities get to know about this deposit. Unfortunately the news of his arrest is no more news as the British Police and the Nigerian government are investigating further all his previous trips abroad to find out other countries he might have made huge deposits.
This deposit was made earlier this year in sealed boxes with a private Security & Finance Company in Europe but the content was not disclosed as cash but family valuables for security reasons. Since we do not know what the outcome of this case will be the family instructed that i get a reliable partner who can put claims on the deposit from the company in Europe urgently to avoid been traced.
Tentatively, we have agreed to offer you 30% of the total amount for your assistance, 5% has been mapped out to offset expenses that may be incurred by both parties in the course of this transaction and 65% will be kept for our family investment in your country. You will understand that the continuous existence of this family depends on this fund, this is why I have taken this responsibility of making this initial contact for this family. Therefore, on acceptance of this
proposal, you are advised to contact me urgently on my private email below and furnish me with your private
telephone and fax numbers for easier and effective communication.
I wish to assure you that this transaction is risk free and machinery necessary for the speedy conclusion has been successfully arranged.
Thanks and God bless.
Kelvin Deprieye
