	EXTREMELY URGENT BUSINESS TRANSACTION

From the desk of

Dr. Ogu Shola

Email:   ogu_shola@yahoo.com

Dear Friend / Partner,

I am sending this mail to you based on the information we gathered from the
foreign trade office of the Nigerian chamber of commerce and industry. We
believe that you would be in a good position to help us in our bid to
transfer the sum of thirty million, five hundred thousand dollars (US$30.5m)
into a foreign account.

We are members of the special committee for budget and planing of the
federal ministry of petroleum and natural resources, this committee is
principally concerned with contract approval in order of priorities as
regards capital project of the federal government of Nigeria. With our
positions, we have successfully secured for ourselves the sum of thirty
million, five hundred thousand united state dollars (US$30.5m). This amount
was accumulated through undeclared windfall from sales of crude oil during
the gulf war. What we needed from you is to provide a safe account into
which the funds will be transferred since government officials are not
allowed by our law to operate foreign account.

It has been agreed that the owner of the account will be compensated with
25%. While 5% will be set aside to offset any expenses including taxes that
may be incurred by both parties in the course of the transaction.

It may interest you to know that two years ago a similar transaction was
carried out with one Mr. Patrice Miller, the president of Craine
International trading corporation at number 135, East 57th street, 28th
floor, New York. 10022 with telephone (212) 308-7788 and telex number
6731699, after the agreement between both parties in which he was to take 5%
the money was duly transferred into his account only for us to be
disappointed on our arrival in New York as we were reliably informed that
Mr. Patrice Miller was no longer on that address while his telephone and
telex number have been reallocated to somebody else.

This was how we lost US$27.5M to Mr. Patrice Miller.

This time around we needed a more reliable and trust worthy person or a
reputable company to do business with, hence this mail to you. So if you
prove yourself to be trust worthy and interested in this deal then we are
prepared to do business with you. What we want from you is the assurance
that you will let us have our share when this fund is transferred into your
account. If this proposal satisfies you, please mail me your response so
that we can advice you on the modalities of this transaction. If you are
interested send to me your banking particulars, private telephone and fax
numbers. All modalities of the transfer have been worked out and once
started it will not take more than 14 working days with the absolute
cooperation of all concerned. This transaction is 100% safe. Please treat as
urgent and very confidential. God be with you as I look forward to your
reply.

Yours faithfully,

 Ogu Shola

FROM: DR. ALLIU MOHAMMED
DIRECTOR,PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION
E-MAIL:alliumohammed@yahoo.co.uk

Dear Sir,

It is my pleasure in writing you this letter on behalf of colleagues.
your particulars were given to me by a member of the Nigerian export
promotion Council(N.E.P.C) who was with the Federal Government
Delegation to your Country during trade exhibition. I have decided to
seek a confidential co-operation with you in the execution of the deal
described hereunder for the benefit of all parties and hope you will
maitain the secrecy because of the nature of this business and the
people involed.

Within the ministry of HEALTH where I work as a director,Project
implementation and with the co-operation of FOUR TOP OFFICIALS, we have
secured as overdue payment bills totaling FIFTEEN MILLION
FIVE HUNDDRED THOUSAND US DOLLARS ONLY(US$15,500,000.00) which we want
to transfer abroad with the assistance and cooperation of a foreign com-
pany/individual to receive the said FUND on our behalf or a reliable
foreign individual account to receive such fund. The amount represented
some percentage of the total conctract value executed on behalf of my
Ministry by a foreign contracting firm,which we the officials over
invoiced. Though the actual contract amount has been paid to the original
contractor,leaving the balance valued at the mentioned amount which we
have in principle gotten approvals to remit to any foreign Bank account
you will provide.

Since the present Government of Nigeria is determined to pay FOREIGN
CONTRACTORS ALL DEBTS owed so as to maintain relationship with FOREIGN
GOVERNMENT AND NON GOVERNMENTAL FINANCIAL AGENCIES, we have decided to
include our bills for approvals with the co-operation of some officials from
the Federal Ministry of Finance(F.M.F) and the Debt Reconciliation Comm-
ittee(D.R.C). We are seeking your assistance in providing a good company's
or any other offshore Bank Account into which we can remit this money BY
 acting the ORIGINAL CONTRACTOR. This we can do by swapping of accounts
and changing of BENEFICIARY AND OTHER FORMS OF DOCUMENTATION upon appli-
cation for claim to reflect the payment approvals to be secured on behalf
of our company. The entire work-plan has been perfected with the relevant
authorites here for smooth opertion.

I have the authority of my partners involved to propose that should you
be willing to assist us in this transaction ,YOUR SHARE AS COMPENSATION
WILL BE 15% OF THE TOTAL AMOUNT while 75% will be for us and 10% for
taxation and other miscellaneous expenses. THE BUSINESS ITSELF IS 100%
SAFE, PROVIDED YOU MAINTAIN UTMOST SECRECY AND CONFIDENTIALITY REQUIRED.

Also your area of specialization is of no hindrance to the success of
this business hence I REPOSED MY CONFIDENCE IN YOU AND HOPE THAT YOU WILL
NOT DISAPPOINT ME.

Please reply me through my E-mail address:alliumohammed@yahoo.co.uk indicating
your willingness to assist us.Once again l want you to understand that
HAVING PUT IN OVER 22 YEARS IN THE CIVIL SERVICE OF MY FATHER LAND, I
AM CONSCIOUS OF HAVING MY IMAGE AND CAREER STAINED. This matter SHOULD
therefore be treated with UTMOST SECRECY AND URGENCY. Feel free to ask
ANY question(s) for more clarification while we urgently wait for your
reply.  Thanks and God Bless.

Your faithfully
DR. ALLIU MOHAMMED
