GREETINGS FROM KUWAIT

ATTN:SIR/MADDAM

I am Mr Dodi Khair Alkhadra the son of the Mr Emad Khair M Alkhadra who
until his retirement, was former
director of finance of the Ministry Of Oil in Kuwait.
During his tenure as the director of finance in the oil ministry, he was
also in charge of the
federal tenders board.
In the course of his work at the tenders board, He received a bid of
(two hundred and seventy million euros) from Arab Contractors Company of
Egypt for the refurbishing
of the fifteen therminal flow stations and the supply of (16000 units) of
27KVA
transformers for the south-western part of the country.
Arab contractors have executed the whole contract and have been paid
off, leaving the balance Two hundred million euros.

I have therefore been mandated as a matter of trust by my
father to source for a business partner to whom we could transfer the
funds through installmental withdrawals until the final money is withdrawn,
by instructing the
concerned government parastatals i.e the FMP&S and the neccessary banks to
pay into the
partner's account the contractual entitlement of thirty-million euros as
first installmental payment. The services of a fidutiary agent has also been
contracted for a succesful completion of the transfer of these funds.
Should this transaction interest you, you are to contact me on my
my e-mail address, so that I can brief
you fully and discuss your renumerations for this undertaking. Pls I shall
also be needing your direct telephone and fax numbers, for more verbal
conversations.


Yours Faithfuly,
Mr Dodi Alkhadra
