REQUEST FOR ASSISTANCE - STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL


I am Dr Ahmed Gani an Accountant in the Nigerian National Petroleum
Corporation (NNPC) and I head a seven-man tenders committee in charge
of Foreign/Expatriate Contract Awards Review and Payment Approvals (CRPAC).I
came to know of your name and address in my search for a reliable and
low-key person to handle a very confidential transaction based on unflinching
trust as we have not met before. This transaction involves the transfer
of huge sum of foreign exchange (the United States Dollars)to a foreign
account. There were a series of contracts executed by a Consortium of
Multinationals in the oil industry in favour of NNPC among which are:
(1) The expansion and rehabilitation of the ageing pipeline network within
Nigeria for crude oil and downstream products distribution and evacuation
- US$9 Billion
(2) Contracts for the Turn Around Maintenance (TAM) of the four epileptic
refineries in the country
(3) The construction of more storage tanks and maintenance and servicing
of old ones for Petroleum Products Storage (Depots) - US$90 Million
(4) The construction of Escravos Gas Poduction Offshore facility.

The original value of these contracts was deliberately over-invoiced
in the sum of USD Seven Million, Five Hundred Thousand ($7,500,000.00)
by this committee (CRPAC) during the awards of the various contract.
This sum ($7,500,000.00) has now been approved for payment by this committee
(CRPAC) and is now ready to be transfered by the Central Bank of Nigeria
to the account of any individual and or company which the CRPAC presents
as the beneficiary, since the company that actually executed these contracts
has been fully paid their fund and the projects have been officialy commissioned.

Consequently, my colleagues and I are willing to transfer the total amount
to your account for subsequent disbursement on our behalf, since we as
civil servants and we are also serving in a sensitive foreign payment
approval committee (CRPAC) are prohibited by the Code of Conduct Bureau
(Civil Service Laws) from opening or operating foreign account and or
dealing in foreign exchange in our names. Needless to say, the trust
reposed on you at this juncture is enormous. In return, we have agreed
to offer you 25% of the transferred sum, while 10% shall be set aside
for incidental expenses (internal and external) accrued between the parties
in the course of the transaction. The balance will be used to purchase
agricultural equipment and medical drugs from your country for importation
back to my country. You must however note that this transaction is subject
to the following terms and conditions:
a) Our conviction of your transparent honesty and diligence
b) That you would treat this transaction with utmost secrecy and confidentiality
c) That you have an unflincing trust in us, and our ability to complete
all official processes with your co-operation.
(d) That the funds would be transfered to an ordinary account which you
have total control over.

Modalities have been worked out (secretly) at the highest levels of the
relevant government departments involved and the Central Bank of Nigeria
for the immediate transfer of funds within 14 working days subject to
your satisfaction of the above stated terms. Our assurance is that your
role is risk-free. To 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 your name or the name of any
company you may nominate as the bonafide beneficiary, as in an ideal
situation.It is imperative that you bear in mind that having put in 19
years in the service of the government, I am averse to having my image
and career dented.
This matter should therefore be treated with utmost secrecy and urgency.
Kindly expedite action by contacting me on my e-mail address, indicating
your interest in this transaction. For swift response to your reply,
kindly indicate your fax and telephone numbers clearly so that I can
explain further, especially by fax. I am urgently waiting your reply
as payment to foreign contractors is usually made on quarterly basis.

Yours faithfully,
Dr Ahmed Gani
