I wish to intimate you with this proposal in
my capacity as Chief Accountant and in full

(Nigeria Liqiuified Natural Gas) . We scrutinized
all records and the accounts of awarded and
executed contracts of this company (NLNG) during
the previous military regime, since the
inception of democracy in Nigeria and carefully
uncover and mapped out a whopping sum USD $45.5m
which we want to transfer into your account as
the beneficiary. It might interest you to know
that beginning of this current civilian
government at a working assets capital of USD
3billion and will definitely gulp more USD 2
billion on the completion of the fifty part. You
can authentically apply for supply if it
interest you to be our client with full
guarantee from me.

The money $45.5m has been approved for payment
by this company NLNG, the Federal Ministry of
Finance (endorsed by the Accountant General of
the Federation) and to be paid by the Apex
bank of Nigeria under contract number,
NLAG/FGN/FMF/CBN/B2517/99. As top civil
Servants, we are not authorized to operate
foreign bank accounts hence our decision to use
your account in full trust and confidence to
transfer this money outside Nigeria. We have
accepted you as our foreign partner and will
regularize and update the approvals to reflect
you as the true beneficiary of the contract sum
USD $45.5m(FORTY FIVE MILLION, FIVE HUNDRED
THOUSAND UNITED STATES DOLLAR).

Moreover, it is pertinent to note that it is
not risky and does not require much engagements
since we have taken care of the deal in full
capacity. We have resolved to give you 25% of
the total sum for your assistance. If you are
interested in this deal, please, contact me
through my email. Address above for more lively
information. Remember to give to me your phone
and fax lines through which l can send you
approved documents for your perusal.

I am anxiously waiting for your response with
hope that you will understand the confidential
nature of this transaction.
