Dear Friend,

MUTUAL BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP-STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL.
I am Mr.Mohammed Roman, the chief accountant of The Nigeria National
Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) and I head a five man tender board in charge
of contract award and payment approvals.I came to know of you in my search
for a reliable person to handle a very confidential transaction which
involves the transfer of a huge sum of money to a foreign account.

There were series of contracts executed by a consort ion of multinationals
in the oil industry in favor of Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation
(NNPC) among which were for the following:

1. The expansion of the pipelines network within for a crude down stream
products distribution and subsequent evacuation which cost $8bUSD(8
Billion United States Dollars).

2. Contract for the turn around maintenance (TAM) of the various
refineries in the country $115 million United States Dollars. The
construction of storage tanks for petroleum products (depots) $190 Million
United States Dollars.

The original value of these contracts were deliberately over invoiced in
the sum $69m USD (sixty nine Million United States Dollars Only) which has
now been approved and is now ready to be transferred, being that the
companies that actually executed these contracts had been fully paid when
the projects were officially commissioned.

It does not matter whether your company's did the contract or not, the
assumption is that your company won the major contract and sub-contracted
it out to other companies.

Consequently, my colleagues and I are willing to transfer the total
amount to your account for subsequent disbursement, since we as civil
servants are prohibited by the code of conduct bureau (civil service
laws) from opening and or operating foreign accounts in our names.
Needless to say, the trust imposed on you at this junction is enormous.

In return, we have agreed to offer you 20% of the transferred sum, while
5% shall be set aside for incidental expenses (internal and external)
between the parties in the course of the transaction, and the remaining
75% is for us,the Nigerian officials.

Modalities have been worked out at the highest level of the ministry of
finance and the central bank of Nigeria for the immediate transfer of the
fund within 14 working days subject to your satisfaction of the above
stated terms.

Our assurance is that your role is risk free,I accord this transaction the
legality it deserves and for mutual security of the fund,the whole
approval procedures will be officially and legally processed with the name
of any company you may nominate as the bonafide beneficiary of the above
mentioned amount.

Therefore, when the business is successfully concluded we shall through
our same connections withdraw all documents used from all the concerned
government ministries for 100% security risk free.

Once more, I want you to understand that having put in over 19 years in
the civil service of my country, I am very careful to have my image and
career deemed.

Please contact me immediately through E-mail whether you are interested in
this deal or not, if you are not, it will enable us scout for another
foreign partner to carry out this deal but where you are interested send
the required documents.

Send by Email for security reasons.

Thanks as I await in anticipation for your fullest co-operation.

Very truly yours,

Mr.Mohammed Roman
