Attn: Sir/Madam,

It is with trust and confidence that I make this urgent and important
business proposal to you. I am senior accountant with the Nigerian
National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) here in Lagos. I have been
assigned by my colleagues to seek a foreign partner in the transfer of
the sum of US$46million (fourty six million United States Dollars)
only. This sum arose from a deliberate over - invoicing of a particular
contract awarded corporation in 2004.

We have been safeguarding this sum for some time now, awaiting an
appropriate time when the money can be transferred into a safe archive,
pending our arrival for the sharing and utilization with the owner of
the account. Now the new civilian government has ordered that all debts
owed foreign contractors by the government be paid immediately, on the
strength of this order, we wish to take advantage of it to present you
or your company as one of the contractors being owed by the government.
Meanwhile, we have agreed that the sum will be shared thus, 75% will be
for us (I and my colleagues), 20% will be for you for collaborating and
providing the necessary assistance while the remaining 5% has been
allotted for expenses that might be incurred in the course of this transaction.

Note, that the nature of your company's business is irrelevant to this
transaction as all arrangements have been concluded for a successful
and
hitch- free transaction. Note that this sum is still in suspense
account of my corporation (NNPC) with central bank of Nigeria. You are
required to email the following information to us without further delay:

(1) Your company name and address
(2) Your phone and fax numbers
(3) Your bank name and address, phone/fax numbers
(4) Your account number

We have taken measures to ensure that there are no risks involved on
both parties.

  We have estimated that this transaction will be concluded within 14
working days on receipt of your acceptance letter to this proposal.
Please reach me through the e-mail address above signifying your
interest in this business this information is highly confidential and
urgent. Further information will be conveyed to you as soon as I

receive your acceptance response.

Best regards,
