I am writing this letter to solicit your co-operation in order to redeem
an investment interest currently held under trust with the Petroleum

USD$48
million (Forty-eight million United States Dollars) was originally
purchased by one Mr. Franklin Rowdy and leased to the Petroleum
Authority of Federal Republic Nigeria.Since the maturity of this contract
in September 2001,several attempts have been made without
success to contact Mr. Franklin Rowdy(who is now deceased) or any of his
close relatives to
whose favour the investment cash value can be paid. My partner Mr.
Sylvester Odei.who is the Head of Finance and Accounting Department in
the Ministry, and two other colleagues Mr.Gauis Oleka. (Head of
Administration and Legal Department) and Mrs.Janeth Deffery. (Head of
Processing and Supply Coordination Department) have initiated the process
of filing a claim.
for this money with the hope of having funds ntransfered outside the
country.
My partners will file a claim for this money from the Petroleum Authority

appointed by Mr.Franklin Rowdy to be the beneficiary of this fund.
When the claim is approved, you as the beneficiary will be paid the sum of
$USD 48 million. The money will be paid directly to any
bank of your choice. You have the responsiblity to ensure that my partners
and I receive 70% of the money while you keep 25% for your assistance.
The remaining 5% will be for any incidental expenses. You are also to
assist us in the investment of our share in your country[i.e as
investment consultants to us and our funds.] From this analysis, you can
see that our proposal to have you participate in this business is
anchored on remuneration, coming after the successful completion of this
project and not before. Please understand that over here, we have
outstanding expenses to take care of,relating to this project, for which
we set out a budgetary estimate, made up of our resources as civil
servants. So I
encourage you to understand with us and give us your support in partnership
for our
collective gain.
I want to assure you that we are in a position to make the payment of this
claim possible, provided you can give us very strong guarantee that
our share will be well secured, and that you will not take advantage of
our position. Be assured that there is absolutely
nothing to worry about in view of this claim, it is perfectly safe
with no risk involved,and
it is not subject to any inquiry, since we will be handling the claim
directly on your behalf.I do hope my proposal is acceptable to you.
