Dear Sir,

I am Dr.Francis Nana Edebor the Chief Accountant of the Ghana National Petroleum Corporation(GNPC)and I head a five man tender board in charge of contract award and payment approvals.I came to know of you in my search for a reliable 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 contortion of multinationals in the oil industry in favor of Ghana National Petroleum Corporation (GNPC) among which were for the following:

1. The expansion of the pipelines network within for a crude down stream products distribution and subsequent evacuation which cost(Eight Billion(USD$8B.)United States Dollars).

2. Contract for the turn around maintenance (TAM) of the various refineries in the country $115 million United States Dollars. The construction of storage tanks for petroleum products (depots) $190 Million United States Dollars.

The original value of these contracts were deliberately over invoiced in the sum US$69(Sixty-nine Million United States Dollars) only which has now been approved and ready to be transferred to a Foreign account,but the fact being that the companies that actually executed these contracts had been fully paid when the projects were officially commissioned that is why we are stocked at this point.

It does not matter whether your Company's did the contract or not, the assumption is that your Company won the major contract and sub-contracted it out to other Companies.Consequently, my colleagues and I are willing to transfer the total amount to your account for subsequent disbursement,since we as civil servants are prohibited by the Code of Conduct Bureau(civil service laws)from owing or operating foreign accounts in our names.Needless to say,the trust imposed on you at this junction is enormous.

In return, we have agreed to offer you 25% of the total sum after a successful transfer of the fund to your account, while 5% shall be set aside for incidental expenses (internal and external)between the parties in the course of the transaction, and the remaining 70% is for us,the Ghanian officials.

Modalities have been worked out at the highest level of the Ministry of Finance and the Central Bank of Ghana for the immediate transfer of the fund within 14 working days subject to your satisfaction of the above stated terms.

Our assurance is that your role is Risk-free both now and in future,I accord this transaction the legality it deserves and for mutual security of the fund,the whole approval procedures will be officially and legally processed with the name of any company you may nominate as the bonafide beneficiary of the above mentioned amount.

Therefore, when the business is successfully concluded we shall through our same connections withdraw all documents used from all the concerned government ministries for 100% security risk free to avoid any traces after the transaction.

Once more, I want you to understand that having put in over 19years in the civil service of my Country, I am very careful to have my image and career deemed.

Please contact me immediately through E-mail whether you are interested in this deal or not, if you are not, it will enable us scout for another foreign partner to carry out this deal but whereby you are interested send us your reply immediately indicating your interest assist us.

Send by Email for security reasons.

Thanks as I await in anticipation for your fullest co-operation.

Yours truly,

Dr. Francis Nana EDEBOR.
