ATTN:SIR,

REQUEST FOR ASSISTANCE-
STRICTLYCONFIDENTIAL

I am DR VINCENT EZEH, an accountant in the Ministry of petroleum Resources
(MPR) and a member of a three-man Tender Board in charge of contract review and
payment approvals. I came to know of you in my search for a reliable person to
handle a very confidential transaction that involves the transfer of a huge sum
of money to a foreign account. It may sound strange but exercise patience and
read on. There were series of contracts executed by a consortium Multinational
in the Oil industry in favor of Ministry of Petroleum Resources among which
were:
1. The extension of pipeline network within Nigeria for crude oil, Down stream
products distribution and subsequent evacuation- US$ 195 Million.

2. Contract for the Turn Around Maintenance (TAM) of the various refineries in
the country~ US$ 152Million.

3. The construction of storage tanks for petroleum products (Depots) US$240
Million. The original values of this contract were deliberately over invoiced to
the sum of US $35.5million American Dollars which has now been approved and is
now ready to be transferred being that the companies that actually executed
these contracts has been fully paid and project officially commissioned.
consequently, my colleagues and I are willing to transfer the total amount to
your account for subsequent disbursement since we are Civil Servant and are
prohibited by the Code of Conduct Bureau (Civil Servant Laws) from opening
operating foreign account in our names. Needless to say, the trust posed on you
at this juncture is enormous. In return, we have agreed to offer you 30% of the
transferred sum while 10% shall be set aside for accidental expenses (Internal &
External) between the parties in the course of the transfer. We will mandate you
to draw up an investment plan for us of which you will control since we cannot
bring our shares back to Nigeria. We are very interested in investing in real
estate in your country. You must however note that this transaction is subjected
to the following termsand conditions:

1. Our conviction of your transparent honesty anddiligence.

2. That you would treat this transaction with utmost secrecy and confidentiality
because of thecircumstances we now find ourselves.

3. That the funds would be transferred to an account over which you have
absolute control. Modalities have been worked out at the highest level of the
presidency at the Central Bank of Nigeria for the immediate transfer of the
funds within 14 working days, subject to your satisfaction of the above stated
terms. Our assurance is that your role is 100% risk free. To accord this
transaction, the legality it deserves and for mutual security of the parties
involved and the funds, the whole approval procedures will be officially and
legally processed with your name or the name of your company you may nominate as
the bonafide beneficiary. Also, be informed that our main reason of contacting
you is for the obvious reason that we will want to invest these funds in the
real estate. It is our believe that you can be ofimmense help in this regards.
Kindly expedite action so as to enable us include this transaction into this
batch as payment to foreign contractors is usually carried out on
quarterlybasis. Please, contact me as soon as possible on my private e-mail
