Sir,

REQUEST FOR URGENT BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP

First, I must solicit your strictest confidence in
this transaction. This is by virtue of its nature as
being utterly confidential and 'top secret'. I got
your contact from the Nigeria Chambers of Commerce and
Industries. We are top officials of the Federal
Government of Nigeria contract Review Committee who
are interested in importation of goods into our
country with funds which are presently trapped in
Nigeria. In order to commence this business we solicit
your assistance to enable us transfer into your
account this said trapped funds.

 However, the funds under discussion total US$37M
(Thirty-seven MIllion five hundred thousand United
States Dollars) Only. The source of these funds is as
follows: During the last military Regime here in
Nigeria, the Government Officials set up companies and
awarded themselves contracts which were grossly
over-invoiced in various ministries.

 To this effect the present civilian Government set up
a Contract Review Committee and we have identified a
lot of inflated contract funds which are presently
floating in the Central Bank of Nigeria ready for
payment. However, by virtue of our position as civil
servants and members of this committee, we cannot
acquire the money in our names.

 I have therefore, been delegated as a matter of trust
by my colleagues of the committee to look for an
overseas partner into whose account we can transfer
the sum of US$37.5M (THIRTY SEVEN MILLION FIVE
HUNDERED THOUSAND UNITED STATE DOLLARS). Hence we are
writing you this letter. We have agreed to share the
money thus:
1. 30% for the Account owner (you)
2. 60% for us (The Officials)
3. 10% to be used in settling taxation and all local
and foreign expenses. It is from the above 60% that we
wish to commence the importation business.

 Please, note that this transaction is 100% safe and
it will take us latest six (6) banking days from the
date of the receipt of the following information from
you:
Your Banker's name, your company's name and address,
Account number, telephone and fax number. The above
information will enable us write letters of claim and
job description respectively. This way we will use
your company's name to apply for payment and re-award
the contract in your company's name.
 We are looking forward to doing business with you and
solicit your confidentiality in this transaction. I
will bring you into the complete picture of this
pending project when I have heard from you.
Awaiting your urgent response.

Yours faithfully,

ENGR;JOHN OGBU
