Email:- frank_jonny2005@yahoo.com PRESIDENT/CEO

I am Rev frank jonny, Chief accounting Officer Federal Ministry of
petroleum
Resources (MPR) and a member of Tender Board
Committee in charge of contract review and payment approvals.
I came to know of you in my search for a reliable person to handle a
very
confidential transaction that involves the transfer
of a huge sum of money to a foreign account.

There were series of contracts executed by a consortium Multinational
in
the Oil industry in favour of Ministry of Petroleum Resources among
which
were:
1.The extension of pipeline network within Nigeria for crude oil, down
stream
products distribution and subsequent evacuation-US$ 95 Million.

2. Contract for the Turn Around Maintenance (TAM) of the various
refineries
in the country- US$ =52Million.

3. The construction of storage tanks for petroleum product(Depots)
US$140Million.

The original values of this contract were deliberately over invoiced to
the sum of US $12.5million American Dollars,
which has now been approved and is now ready to be transferred.
The companies that actually executed these contracts have been fully
paid
and project officially commissioned.
Consequently, I and my partners are willing to transfer this amount to
your account for subsequent disbursement since we are Civil Servants
and
are prohibited by the Code of Conduct Bureau (Civil Servant Laws) from
opening/operating
foreign account in our names.

Needless to say, the trust posed on you at this juncture is enormous.
In
return, we have agreed to offer you 20% of the transferred sum while 5%
shall be set aside for accidental expenses (Internal & External)
between
the parties in the course of the transfer.
We will mandate you to draw up an investment plan for us of which you
will
control since we cannot bring our shares back to Nigeria.
We are very interested in investing in real estate in your country.
You must however note that this transaction is subjected to the
following
terms and conditions:

1. Our conviction of your transparent honesty and diligence.
2. That you will treat this transaction with utmost secrecy and
confidentiality
because of the circumstances we now find ourselves.
3. That the funds would be transferred to an account over which you
have
absolute control. Modalities have been worked out at the highest level
subject
to your satisfaction of the above stated terms.
Our assurance is that your role is 100% risk free.

To accord this transaction, the legality it deserves and for mutual
security
of the parties involved and the funds, the whole approval procedures
will
be officially and legally processed with your name or the name of your
company
you may nominate as the Bona fide beneficiary.
Also, be informed that our main reason of contacting you is for the
obvious
reason that we will want to invest these funds in the real estate.

It is our believe that you can be of immense help in this regards.

Kindly expedite action so as to enable us include this transaction into
this quarter of payment.
Please, contact me as soon as possible on my confidential
telephone number: +234-803-712-8183.
I awaits your soonest response

Best regards,
REV FRANK JONNY
