            REQUEST FOR AN URGENT CONFIDENTIAL BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP

After due deliberation with my colleagues, I have decided to forward
to you this business proposal. We want a reliable person who could
assist us to transfer the sum of Twenty Million Five Hundred Thousand 
United States Dollars ($20,500,000) into his / her account.

This fund resulted from an over-invoiced bill from contracts awarded
by us under the budget allocation to my Ministry and this bill has 
been approved for payment by the concerned authorities. The contract has 
since been executed, commissioned and the contractor was paid the actual 
cost of the contract. We are left with the balance US$20.5M as part of 
the over-invoiced amount which we have deliberately over estimated for 
our own use. But under our protocol division, civil servants are 
forbidden to operate or own foreign accounts.This is why I am contacting 
you to be our custodian for this fund.

As you may want to know and to make you less curious, I got your  
address from a site in the internet that portrayed you (your 
establishment) in good light. I am the Chief Accountant/Internal Auditor 
of the Contract Award Committee (C.A.C.) of the Nigerian National 
Petroleum Corporation(NNPC). This transaction is very much free from all 
sorts of RISKS and TROUBLE from my Government. We the N.N.P.C. Officials 
involved in this deal have put in many years in service to this 
Ministry. We have been exercising patience for this opportunity for so 
long and to us, this is a life time opportunity we cannot afford to 
miss. You need not to worry about the  responsibilities of transferring 
this fund into your account, because
all the administrative step needed for the transfer of this fund into 
your designated bank account will be done by me. We have agreed to 
COMPENSATE you duly if agreement is reached by both of us.

My colleague and I will come to your country to arrange for our
share, upon the confirmation from you that the money has been 
credited into your nominated bank account. Consequent upon your 
acceptance of this proposal, kindly confirm your interest by sending me 
a revert email via the email accounts below (rexchukwu1@maktoob.com).  
Your indication by revert email to me of your sincere and serious
interest will enable me send you the PROCEDURE FOR OPERATION.

NOTE: In the event of your inability to handle this transaction
please inform us so that we can look for another reliable person who
can assist in this respect.

It might surprise you why we choose you and trusted you for this
transaction. Yes, we believe that good friends can be discovered and
business like this can not be executed without trust. This is why we
have decided to trust you for this transaction. We are looking forward
to doing this transaction with you. Be further informed that everybody
interest and security had been considered before you were contacted, 
so be rest assured and feel free to go into this transaction with us. 
But let Honesty and Trust be our watchword throughout this transaction 
and your prompt reply will be highly appreciated.

Thank you and God bless.

Best Regards,

DR. REX CHUKWU.
