REQUEST FOR URGENT BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP
- TRANSFER OF US$25,500,000.00

I am ENGR.WILCOS MOMOH, a director in the budget and planning
department of the Nigeria National petroleum Corporation (NNPC), I
head a seven man Tenders Board Committee in charge of contract award
and Payment approvals. I came to know of you in my search for a
reliable and reputable person to handle a very confidential
transaction, which involves the transfer of a huge sum of money to a
foreign account.

There were series of contracts executed by a consortium of
Multinationals in the oil industry in favour of the (NNPC) among
which were;

1)The expansion of Pipeline network  within Nigeria for crude oil and
down stream products distribution and subsequent evacuation US$2
Billion.

2)Contract for Turn Around Maintenance (TAM) of various Refineries in
thecountry.

3)The construction of Storage Tanks for Petroleum Product (Depots)
-US$94 Million.

The original value of of these contracts  were deliberately over
invoiced in the sum of Twenty Five million, Five Hundred Thousand
United States Dollars (US$25,500,000.00) which has recently been
approved and now ready to be transferred. However the companies that
actually executed the aforementioned contract have been fully paid
and the projects officially commissioned.

Consequently, my colleagues and I are willing to transfer  the total
amount into your account for  subsequent disbursement, since we as
civil servants are prohibited by the Code of Conduct Bureau (Civil
Service Laws)from opening and/or operating foreign accounts in our
names.

Needless to say, the trust reposed in you at this juncture is
enormous. In return, we have agreed amongst ourselves to offer you
15% of the transferred sum, 5% shall be set aside for any incidental
expenses during the course of this transaction, you will then be
mandated to revert the balance to us in due course.

You must however NOTE that this transaction is subject to the
follwing terms and conditions; our conviction of your  transparent
honesty and dilligence, that you must accord this transaction  with
utmost confidentiality and secrecy.

Modalities have been worked out at the highest levels of the Ministry
of Finance, Central Bank of Nigeria and the Presidential Task Force
on Contract Payment for the immediate remittance of the funds within
10 -14 working days subject to your satisfaction of the above terms.
Our assurance is that your role shall be totally risk free . To
accord this transaction the legality it deserves, and for mutual
security of funds, the whole procedures shall be legally processed
with your name or any company you may nominate as the bona fide final
beneficiary.

Once more, I want you to understand that having put in over  20years
in the Civil Service of my country, I am very  much averse to having
my image and career dented. This matter should therefore be treated
with utmost secrecy and urgency. Kindly expedite immediate action as
we are well behind schedule to enable us include this transfer in the
3rd batch of the 2002 fiscal year contract payments.

BEST REGARDS.

WILCOS MOMOH.
