ATTENTION: CHAIRMAN/CEO 

This letter is not intended to cause any embarrassment in whateverform, 
rather is compelled to contact your esteemed self, following theknowledge 
of your high repute and trustworthiness. Firstly, I must solicit your 
confidentiality, this is by the virtue of its' nature as being utterly 
confidential and top secret though I know that a transaction of this 
magnitude will make anyone apprehensive and worried, but I am assuringyou 
that all will be well at the end of the day. A bold step taken shallnot 
be regretted I assure you. 
I am Mr.Tony Okeke and I head a seven man tender board in charge of 
contract awards and payment approvals, I came to know of you in searchof 
a reliable and reputable person to handle a very confidential business 
transaction which involves the transfer of a huge sum of money toforeign 
account requiring maximum confidence. My colleagues and I are top 
officials of the NIGERIA NATIONAL PETROLEUM CORPORATION {NNPC}. OURDUTIES 
INCLUDE VETTING, EVALUATION AND FORESEEING THE MAINTENANCE OF THE 
REFINERIES IN ALL THE DESIGNATED OIL PIPELINES. We are therefore 
soliciting for your assistance to enable us transfer into your accountthe 
said funds. Our country losses a lot of money everyday that is why the 
international community is very careful and warning their citizens tobe 
careful but I tell you "A TRIAL WILL CONVINCE YOU". 
The source of the fund is as follows; during the last military regimehere 
in Nigeria this committee awarded a contract of US$400million to agroup 
of five construction companies on behalf of the NIGERIA NATIONALPETROLEUM 
CORPORATION for the construction of the oil pipelines in Kaduna, 
Port-Harcourt, Warri refineries. During this process my colleagues andI 
deliberately inflated the total contract sum to the tune US$428million 
with the intention of sharing the inflated sum of US$28. The government 
has since approved the sum of US$428 for us as the contract sum, butsince 
the contract is only worth US$400million, the remaining US$28million is 
what we intend to transfer to reliable and safe offshore account, weare 
prohibited to operate foreign account in our names since we are stillin 
government. Thus, making it impossible for us to acquire the money inour 
name right now, I have therefore been delegated as a matter of trust bymy 
colleagues to look for an oversea partner into whose account we can 
transfer the sum of US$28million. 
My colleagues and I have decided that if you/your company can be the 
beneficiary of this funds on our behalf, you or your company willretain 
20% of the total sum US$28million while 75% will be for us theofficials 
and remaining 5% will be used for offsetting all debts/expensesincurred 
during this transaction. 
We have decided that this transaction can only proceed under thefollowing 
conditions:1. That you treat this transaction with utmost secrecy and 
confidentialityand conviction of your transparent honesty. 
2. That upon the receipt of the funds you will release the funds as 
instructed by us after you have removed your share of 20%. Please 
acknowledge the receipt of this letter using the above telephone andfax 
numbers. I will bring you into the nomenclature of this transactionwhen I 
have heard from you. 
our urgent response will be highly appreciated as we catching on tenext 
ayment schedule for the financial quarter. Please be assured that tis 
transaction is 100% legal/risk free, only trust can make the reality of this 
transaction 

Best Regards 


MR. TONY OKEKE.
