I AM AN ACCOUNTANT WITH BEACON NIG. LTD. A FOREIGN OIL COMPANY BASED
IN LAGOS, NIGERIA. BEACON WAS INVOLVED IN PROSPECTING, DRILLING AND BUNKERING
OF OIL AT HIGH SEA (OFFSHORE), WITH EXPATRIATE CONSISTING MAJORITY OF
THE STAFF STRENGTH. UNFORTUNATELY, THESE EXPATRIATES GOT INTO AN ILLEGAL
SALE OF OIL AND THE MONEY FROM IT TRANSFERRED THROUGH A SECURITY
COMPANY OUT OF THE COUNTRY BUT WITH A SECURITY STAMP ON IT.  THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT OF NIGERIA DISCOVERED THE ILLEGAL DEAL, REVOKED THEIR LICENCE AND THE
EXPARTRIATES WERE REPATRIATED.

SO, BY VIRTUE OF MY POSITION AS THE ACCOUNTANT OF THE COMPANY, I HAVE

TRUNK BOXES DEPOSITED WITH THE SECURITY COMPANY. THE CONTENT OF THESE
BOXES IS TWENTY FIVE MILLION AND FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED STATES

BOXES TO THEIR CORRESPONDENCE OFFICE IN AMERICA OR EUROPE  WHICH THEY

A LOGICAL CONCLUSION OF THIS PENDING BUSINESS WHICH BOTH OF US WILL BOUND

COMPANY AND SIGN AS ONE OF EXPATRIATES TO ENABLE YOU CLAIM THE MONEY
AND PAY IT INTO YOUR BANK ACCOUNT.

PLEASE, NOTE THAT THIS TRANSACTION IS 100% RISK-FREE, FOR EVERY MACHINERIES
HAS BEEN PUT IN PLACE FOR SUCCESSFUL CONCLUSION. REMEMBER, THAT I HAVE
WITH ME ALL THE NECESSARY DOCUMENTS THAT WILL PROVE THAT THE MONEY IS
FOR US. I EXPECT YOU TO BE TRUSTWORTHY AND KIND ENOUGH TO KEEP MY OWN
SHARE, WHEN THE MONEY HIT YOUR ACCOUNT.

I HEREBY AGREE TO COMPENSATE YOUR SINCERE AND CANDID EFFORT IN THIS REGARD
WITH 25% OF THE FUND AFTER THE TRANSFER AND 5% (PERCENT) WILL BE SET
ASIDE FOR ANY EXPENSES BOTH LOCAL AND INTERNATIONAL TRANSPORTATION, TELEPHONE
 BILLS ETC. WILL BE SETTLED FROM THIS  PERCENTAGE, WHILE 70% WILL BE
FOR ME AND TWO OF MY COLLEAGUES. THIS DEAL WILL BE CONCLUDED WITHIN SEVEN
 (7) WORKING DAYS. 

I WILL BE LOOKING FORWARD TO DOING BUSINESS WITH YOU, AND SOLICIT YOUR
CONFIDENTIALITY IN THIS TRANSACTION.  PLEASE ACKNOWLEDGE THE RECEIPT
OF THIS PROPOSAL.
