Dr.Anthony Ayuba
Treasury Controller
Nigerian  National Petroleum Corporation.




Dear Sir,

BUSINESS PROPOSAL.

I am  the Treasury Controller, Nigerian  National Petroleum Corporation[NNPC] and a close associate of the immediate past Minister of Petroleum Resources.

The Minister has mandated me to transfer the sum of US$88 millions recovered from an over-invoiced contracts involving the  Nigerian  National
Petroleum Corporation[NNPC] into severalprivate account in Europe and United States. A total sum of US$73,700,000.00 has been transferred before the emergence of this present Civilian Administration, leaving the balance of US$14,300,000.00.

I have made proper arrangement/documentation to transfer the balance which is retained in a coded account of the NNPC with the Central Bank of
Nigeria. We are soliciting that you help us to receive the fund in trust. We cannot complete this transaction smoothly without the participation of a foreign partner who would provide an account where the funds could be lodged. Since it is a contract payment,
the funds must be remitted to a foreign account.

The remittance of the funds requires little documentation that would be completed as soon as you provide us with a secured bank account where you may wish to receive the money.

There is no risk involved on your part in this transaction since the former Minister and I have covered this transaction with adequate contract and external credit documents from the beginning.

What we require from you by Email are viz:

{i}    Acceptance letter of this offer

{ii}   Your company name and confidential telephone and fax numbers

{iii}  Convincing Honesty, Trustworthiness and Willingness to abide by the requirements of this proposal paramount of which is CONFIDENTIALITY.

We have agreed that you will retain 20% of the entire US$14,300,000.00 for your effort in this transaction, 70% for us partners here in Nigeria and the remaining 10% will be used for defrayal of incidental cost in the course of this transfer.

Please reply urgently by e-mail or fax as we expect that the transaction will not take more than ten working days. And please note that this transaction must be top secret.

Best regards,
