foreing trade office of the Nigerian Chamber of Commerce and industry.We
believe you are in a position to help us in our bid to transfer the sum of
Forty one million,Five hundred thousand United states dollars only($41.5M)
into a foreign account.
We are members of the special commitee for budget and planning of the
minister of Petroleum.This committee is principally concerned with contracts
appraisals and approval of contracts in order of priorities as regards
Capital project of The Federal Government Of Nigeria.With our positions,we
have successfully secured for ourselves the said amount.This amount was
accumulated through undeclared windfall from the sales of Nigerian crude oil
during the Gulf war.
what we need from you is to provide a safe account into which funds will be
transfered since government officials are not allowed by our laws to operate
foreign account.It has been agreed that the owner of the account will be
compesated with US$8.3m of the remmited funds .We keep US$31.125M while
US$2.075M will be set aside to offside expenses and pay the neccessary
taxes.
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
Corporation at No.135,East 57th street,28th floor New York.10022 with
telephone(212308-7788 and telex No.6731689.After the agreement between both
parties in which he was to take 5%.The money was duly transfered into his
account only to be dissapointed on our arrival in New York as we are
reliably informed that mr.Patrice Miller was no longer on that address while
his phone number has been reallocated to somebody else,that was how we lost
US$27.5M to Mr.Patrice Miller.
This time around we need a more reliable and trustworthy person or a
reputable company to do business with hence this letter to you.So if you can
proove yourselve trusted and interested in this deal then we are prepared to
do business with you.what we want from you is that assurance that you will

worked out and once started will not take more than 14 working days with
absolute support of all concerned.
