Subject: REQUEST FOR URGENT CONFIDENTIAL BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP

FROM THE OFFICE OF MR.PATRICK IKEDI.
NIGERIA NATIONAL PETROLEUM CORPORATION (NNPC),
FEDERAL SECRETARIAT IKOYI, LAGOS-NIGERIA.
REQUEST FOR URGENT CONFIDENTIAL BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP
ATTENTION: THE PRESIDENT/CEO.

Dear Sir/Madam,

I,on behalf of my other colleagues from different federal government of

Nigeria owned parastatals decided to solicit your assistance as regards

transfer on the above-mentioned amount into your account. This fund arose from

over-invoicing of various contract awarded in our parastatals to certain

foreign contractors sometime ago.
We as holders of sensitive positive positions in our various parastatals were

mandated by the federal government to scrutinize all payments made to certain

foreign contractors and we discovered that some of the contracts they executed

were grossly over-invoiced either by omission or commission. Also we

discovered that the sum of us$120.5M [One Hundered and twenty million five

hundred thousand U.S. Dollars only] was lying in a suspense account, although

the foreign contractors were fully paid their contract entitlement after the

execution the said contracts.

We all agreed that the over-invoiced amount be transferred [for our own use]

into a bank account provided by a foreign partner, because we are government

workers and the code of conducts does not allow us to operate foreign account.

However, we have succeeded in transferring some of this over invoiced money

precisely U.S.$5.M [five million U.S. dollars only] into a foreign account in

Beirut, Lebanon, but the provider of the account in Lebanon, is up to some

mischief and refuses to comply with our earlier mutual agreement, insisting

that the total amount be paid into his nominated bank account before

disbursement will take effect.

If for a U.S.$5M[ five million U.S. Dollars] we are not compensated, is it

when the balance of U.S$115.5M [One Hundred and fifteen million, five hundred

thousand U.S. Dollars only] is transferred that we will be sure of our full

compensation?. We are therefore, soliciting your assistance so that the

remaining amount of U.S.$115.5M Can be speedily processed and fully remitted

into your nominated bank account. On successful remittance of the fund into

your account, you will be compensated with 30% of the total amount for your

assistance and services.

So far, much have been said and due to our sensitive positions, we cannot

afford a slip in this transaction, neither can we give out our identity, as

regards our respective offices, but where relationship is established and

smooth operation commences, you will be furnished with all you deserve to

know.

I am at your disposal to entertain any question[s] from you with respect to

this transaction, so contact me immediately through the above e-mail address

for further information on the requirement and procedure for this transaction.

Please, treat with strictest confidentiality and utmost urgency.

Yours Faithfully,

Mr.Patrick Ikedi.
