Your candid attn:

REF: URGENT CONFIDENTIAL BUSINESS PROPOSAL.

Most competent people are choosen for competent jobs and assignments,
and with that due respect have we also choosen to select you and
contact you on this very confidential matter. Our Nigerian Chamber of
Commerce and industry offers variety of names of notable people from
your part of the Globe. That was where I got your information from.
Therefore, after due deliberation with my partners, we decided to
forward to you this proposal. We believe that you would be in a
position to help us in our bid to transfer the sum of
US$41.5M(Forty-0ne million, five hundred thousand dollars only) into a
foreign account. We shall make it 100% legal as much possible as you
would want.

We are members of the special committee for budget and planning of the
Ministry of Petroleum. This committee is principally concerned with
contract appraisals and approval of contracts in order of priorities
as regards CAPITAL PROJECTS of the Federal Government of Nigeria. With
our positions, we have successfully secured for ourselves the sum of
Forty-one Million, Five Hundred Thousand United States
Dollars(US$41.5M)

We are working with the present Democratically elected Government in
my country, and we are seeking the support of Foreign Government,
which the race has started. So they have given directive to all
Federal Parastatals to settle all Foreign Contractors being owed for
contract that they have done. Therefore, our plan is to include your
name as one of the contractors being owed in our corporation.

What we need from you is to provide a safe Account into which the
funds will be transferred since Government Officials in my country are
not allowed by our laws to Operate Foreign Accounts. It has been
agreed that you will be compensated with US$8.3 Million of the
remitted funds. US$31.125Million belongs to us, while US$2.075Million
will be set aside to offset expenses and pay the necessary taxes.It
may interest you to know that two years ago a similar transaction was
carried out with one Mr. Patrice Miller, the C.E.O of Crane
International Trading Corporation at number 135, East 57th street,
28th floor, New York 10022, with Telephone (212)308-7788 and Telex
Number 6731689. After the agreement between both of us in which he was
to take 25% of the money as his share, the money was duly transferred
into his Account. We were disappointed on our arrival in New York as
we were reliably informed that Mr. Patrice Miller was no longer on
that address while his Telephone and Telex Numbers have been
reallocated to so

We need a more reliable and trustworthy person and a reputable Company
to do this business with, hence we contacted you. So if you can prove
yourself to be trusted and interested in this deal then we are
prepared to do business with you. What we want from you is the
assurance that you will let us have our share when this amount of
US$41.5M is transferred into your account.If this proposal satisfies
you, please contact us, so we can advice you on the modalities of the
transaction. All modalities of this transfer, have been worked out and
once started will not take more than 7 Banking days with the absolute
support of all concerned. This transaction is 100% safe and risk free
now and after the transfer.Kindly treat this as urgent and very
confidential.contact me through my email address magnuswilliams202@gmail.com

Best regards.
