Dear Sir

RE: VERY URGENT ATTENTION REQUIRED

Please accept my apology if this mail does not suit your personal or business
ethics, it is not my intention but the matter at hand is one of great importance
to me.
My Name Mr. Timi Alaibe, Executive Director Finance And Administration, Niger
Delta Development Commission (NDDC), Nigeria. I came to know about you in
my private search for a reliable Person/company to handle a confidential
transaction on behalf of myself and my coleagues. As a matter of fact, I
am searching for an individual who will fit perfectly into the business at
hand.

I write in respect of one of our contractors, who unfortunately lost his
life in the plane crash of Alaska Airlines Flight 261, which crashed on
January 31, 2000, including his wife and daughter leaving nobody to claim
his contract payment money executed for NDDC here in Nigeria in 1999. You
shall read more news about the crash on visiting this site: http://www.cnn.com/2000/US/02/01/alaska.airlines.list


Mr.Morris Thompson was an American and great industrialist and a resident
of Fairbanks, Alaska.Prior to his death, Mr.Thompson supplied goods worth
US$3.8 Million in 1999 and was awaiting his payment before his untimely death.


Since the death of this man, nobody has come forward to claim the money on
his behalf as next of kin to the late Mr. Morris Thompson. It is only an
insider, the contractor or a next of kin who has information about the contract
that could produce the particulars of the contract and as such be able to
lay claim to this money.Also the funds can only be
released to a foreigner.Hence, I have arranged to front you as the next of
kin to Late Mr.Thompson so that you can sign-off the release of his payment
of US$3.8 Million contract Rather than have this fund reverted to the Consolidated
Account of the NDDC, I seek your consent to front you as his Next of Kin.
We will handle all financial embodiments,
logistics and documentations to legitimize it.You shall provide an account
for the transfer of the funds.

Upon the receipt of your reply, I will send to you by fax or e-mail the test
of the application that you will fill and submit to the foreign contract
payment department of the NDDC and also some documents you may need to sign
for the release of the US$3.8 Million from the NDDC.

Please confirm your interest by immediate response on this private E-mail:
timialeibe@tiscali.it (OR) timialaibe@computermail.net


Thanking you in anticipation and you can also reach me on this telephone
number (+234-80-604-02113) to confirm your serious interest.

Very important:Note that Mr. Thompson also have a domiciliary account with
Guaranty Trust Bank where he has about US$500,000.00 from the records of
my findings. Therefore, you shall be claiming about US$4.3 Million as the
next of kin of Mr. Morris Thompson from the paying bank, GTB Plc where the
funds will be first paid in.

Yours Faithfully.

Mr.Timi Alaibe
(Executive Director Finance And Administration, NDDC,Nigeria)
