REQUEST FOR ASSISTANCE - STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL

I am Lawani Hamza , an Accountant in the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation 
(NNPC) and I head a seven-man tenders committee in charge of Foreign/Expatriate 
Contract Awards Review and Payment Approvals (CRPAC). I came to know of your name 
and address in my search for a reliable person to handle a very confidential transaction 
based on unflinching trust as we have not met before. This transaction involves the transfer 
of huge sum of foreign exchange (the United States Dollars) to a foreign account. There 
were a series of contracts executed by a Consortium of Multinationals in the oil industry in 
favor of NNPC among which are.
(1) The expansion and rehabilitation of the ageing pipeline network within Nigeria for crude 
oil and downstream products distribution and evacuation - US$9 Billion. 
(2) Contracts for the Turn Around Maintenance (TAM) of the four epileptic refineries in the 
country .  (3) The construction of more storage tanks and maintenance and servicing of old 
ones for Petroleum Products Storage (Depots) - US$90 Million.                                        
(4) The construction of Escravos Gas Production Offshore facility.

 The original value of these contracts was deliberately over-invoiced to the sum of USD 
Eighteen Million, Five Hundred Thousand ($125,000,000.00) by this committee (CRPAC) 
during the awards of the various contract. This sum ($25,000,000.00) has now been 
approved for payment by this committee (CRPAC) and is now ready to be transferred by the 
Central Bank of Nigeria to the account of any individual and or company which the CRPAC 
presents as the beneficiary, since the company that actually executed these contracts has 
been fully paid their fund and the projects have been officially commissioned. Consequently, 
my colleagues and I are willing to transfer the total amount to your account for subsequent 
disbursement on our behalf, since we as civil servants and we are also serving in a 
sensitive foreign payment approval committee (CRPAC) are prohibited by the Code of 
Conduct Bureau (Civil Service Laws) from opening or operating foreign account and or 
dealing in foreign exchange in our names. Needless to say, the trust reposed on you at this 
juncture is enormous. In return, we have agreed to offer you 25% of the transferred sum, 
while 10% shall be set aside for incidental expenses (internal and external) accrued 
between the parties in the course of the transaction. The balance will be used to purchase 
agricultural equipment and medical drugs from your country for importation back to my 
country. You must however note that this transaction is subject to the following terms and 
conditions:

(a) Our conviction of your transparent honesty and diligence b) That you would treat this 
transaction with utmost secrecy and confidentiality 
(c) That you have an unflinching trust in us, and our ability to complete all official processes 
with your co-operation.
(d) That the funds would be transferred to an ordinary account which you have total control 
over.
 
Modalities have been worked out at the highest levels of the relevant government 
departments involved and the Central Bank of Nigeria for the immediate transfer of funds 
within 14 working days subject to your satisfaction of the above stated terms. Our 
assurance is that your role is risk-free. To accord this transaction the legality it deserves and 
for mutual security of the fund, the whole approval procedures will be officially and legally 
processed with your name or the name of any company you may nominate as the bonafide 
beneficiary, as in an ideal situation. It is imperative that you bear in mind that having put in 
19 years in the service of the government, I am averse to having my image and career 
dented. This matter should therefore be treated with utmost secrecy and urgency. Kindly 
expedite action by contacting me on my e-mail address, indicating your interest in this 
transaction. For swift response to your reply, kindly indicate your fax and telephone numbers 
clearly so that I can explain further, especially by fax. I am urgently waiting your reply as 
payment to foreign contractors is usually made on quarterly basis.

Yours faithfully,
Lawani Hamza
