CONFIDENTIAL / URGENT BUSINESS PROPOSAL

It is with trust and confidence that I write to reveal this business proposal toyou. I was assigned by two of my colleagues to seek for a foreign partner who will assist us in providing a convenient account in a designated bank overseas for the transfer of US$28,600,000.00 ( Twenty Eight Million, Six Hundred Thousand United States Dollars only),
pending our arrival in your country for utilization and disbursement of the fund with the owner of the account.

I am the Chairman, Tenders Board of the Federal Ministry of Petroleum and Mineral Resources, Lagos, Nigeria. On 25th January 1996, our Ministry, The Federal Ministry of Petroleum and Mineral Resources, awarded a contract of US$200,000,000.00 (Two Hundred Million United States Dollars only), but my colleagues and I being members of the Contract award Committee over inflated the contract to the tune of US$ 228,600,000.00 (Two Hundred and Twenty Eight Million, Six Hundred Thousand United States Dollars only), with the intention of sharing the remaining balance of US$ 28,600.000.00(Twenty Eight Million, Six Hundred Thousand United States Dollars only) amongst ourselves.

The Contract has been successfully executed and the actual contractors have just been paid their US$ 200,000,000.00 only in full, leaving a balance of US$28,600,000.00 which we now want to transfer out of the country in our favour, making it look as if the payment for the contract has been completed, since we as Government Officials are not permitted by Law to operate Foreign bank accounts and secondly, we cannot collect the money from the source because the contract was undertaken by a foreign firm. My colleagues and I have agreed if you/your company can act as the beneficiary of this fund (US$28,600,000.00), we will transfer the money to your account and you will retain 30% of the total fund for the assistance rendered, while we retain 60% of the total fund, and the balance of 10% of the balance will be set aside for the offsetting of all expenses that might be incurred by both parties during the fund transfer process.

We are requesting you to co-operate with us and provide a convenient account number in a designated bank where this fund can be safely transferred into since this is our only chance of making something for ourselves after many years of service. We intend to come over there on the completion of the fund transfer to secure our own share of the fund.

Please note that we have been careful and have worked out all the modalities for a smooth transfer of the fund to your chosen or designated account before contacting you. We would therefore not want you to expose this proposal to anybody for the purpose of security and its confidential nature. We also believe you will not sit on our money when it is eventually transferred into your account, as you would get 30% of the fund.

Please be rest assured that this transaction is 100% risk free, and the nature of your business has nothing to do with it. If this proposal is accepted, please indicate your interest
by contacting us and sending us
your Account number in a designated bank, Address of the bank, your Company name, and your Tel/Fax numbers. On your acceptance, more details about this transaction will be given to you.

Yours faithfully,

DR. MARTINS EZE
