Dear Friend,

I write you now, knowing that we can both work together based on the
trust I have in you.

I am the Project Director of DEPARTMENT OF PETROLEUM RESOURCES [DPR] a
parastatal company under the NIGERIAN NATIONAL PETROLEUM COMPANY
[NNPC]. This company supervises the multinational oil companies
operating in my country Nigeria. These multinational oil companies
form a cartel that collaborates to fleece the nation. This began right
from the first signing of the joint venture and petroleum sharing
contracts, between government and this big oil companies. This joint
venture was known to be a fraud.

We are in this joint venture partnership with government owning 60%
equity share and the other companies having the remaining 40%. This
agreement also includes profit per barrel produce, pricing per barrel
and investment on every barrel produce. Unfortunately government had
no way of monitoring to confirm the figures given by these oil
companies. It was as a result of this, that the present democratically
elected president of the country decided to revoke the oil allocations
by past governments to the multinational oil companies. A committee on
petroleum resources that was set up by the senate and the presidency,
summoned me and the joint venture partners in the nation’s oil and gas
industry to justify the 54 billion naira about [$367,346, 983 million]
allocated to the oil companies in the 2004 Appropriation Bill under
the integrity sub-head.

The Joint venture Partners were unprepared for the revelation that
followed this enquiry. In fact, one of the Joint venture partners, Pan
Oceanoil company confounded the committee members by disclaiming the
$810 million allocated to it under the sub-head. It claimed that it
did not need the money as there was nothing to repair in its flow
station since its equipment’s were still new.

The revelation confirmed the suspicion of many people that the
upstream sector of the nation’s oil industry has become a nest of
corruption. The submissions by Pan Ocean Oil Company raise several
questions. It also goes to prove the allegations made against the
joint operators of always duplicating expenditure items for the Joint
Venture and submitting a single work programme for JV and PSC
concessions instead of separating them.

It is this money and some other that are returned unaccounted for that
I want you to help receive into your custody. We will initially
transfer the sum of $15.5 million (Fifteen million Five Hundred
Thousand United States Dollars) to you. If this is adequately handled,
then we will negotiate on how to transfer the rest. Plans have been
perfected to remit these funds to you immediately you indicate
interest that you can help to accommodate the said amount. What we
intend doing is to use our diplomatic connections to move the funds to
your country. With the services of an accredited financial
organization in your country, you would receive the funds without
having to travel.

If you are interested in proceeding as you indicated in our discussion
earlier today, please supply the following information

-your full names
-your contact address
-your phone and fax numbers

You should let me know what you intend to receive as your commission
in your response to this mail.

Best regards.

PEDRO OBASEKI.
