WE ARE MEMBERS OF A SPECIAL COMMITTEE ON PROJECT
IMPLEMENTATION OF THE NIGERIAN NATIONAL PETROLEUM
CORPORATION (NNPC). THIS COMMITTEE IS PRINCIPALLY
CONCERNED WITH CONTRACT AWARDS AND APPROVAL. WITH OUR
POSITIONS, WE HAVE SUCCESSFULLY SECURED FOR OURSELVES
THE SUM OF TWENTY-ONE MILLION, FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND
UNITED STATES DOLLARS (US$21.5M). MY COLLEAGUES AND I
DURING THE COURSE OF OUR OFFICIAL ASSIGNMENT AWARDED
SERIES OF CONTRACTS TO FOREIGN FIRMS ON AGREED 5%
COMMISSION OR PROFIT ON THEIR CONTRACT SUM.  HOWEVER
THE 5% COMMISSION WHICH AMOUNTED TO US$21.5M AFTER
AUDIT REPORT IS LEFT UNCLAIMED IN THE FLOATING ACCOUNT
OF MY COMPANY [NNPC]. THIS CONTRACT IN QUESTION WERE
FOR THE SUPPLY OF PETRO – CHEMICAL EQUIPMENT AND
COMPUTERS TO MY COMPANY THE NIGERIAN NATIONAL
PETROLEUM CORPORATION [NNPC] IN 1999. THE CONTRACTORS
HAVE EXECUTED THEIR PROJECT AS SPECIFIED IN THE
CONTRACT AGREEMENT AND WERE PAID ACCORDINGLY.
RECENTLY, THE NEW CIVILIAN GOVERNMENT STARTED PAYING
OFF ALL THE INDEBTED FOREIGN CONTRACTORS TO MY COMPANY
THAT EXECUTED CONTRACTS AS FAR BACK AS 1990 – 2002 IN
ORDER TO LAUNDER A GOOD IMAGE OF THEIR GOVERNMENT
BEFORE THE UNITED NATION. CONSEQUENT TO THIS
DEVELOPMENT, WE CONSIDER THIS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR
US TO CARRYOUT THE TRANSFER OF THESE FUNDS TO A SAFE
ACCOUNT OVERSEAS WHICH WE BELIEVE YOU WILL BE IN A
POSITION TO HELP US IN TRANSFERRING THESE FUNDS
[US$21.5M] INTO YOUR NOMINATED ACCOUNT. 
IT HAS BEEN AGREED THAT THE OWNER OF THE ACCOUNT WILL
BE COMPENSATED WITH 20% OF THE REMITTED FUNDS, WHILE
WE KEEP 75%, AND 5% WILL BE SET ASIDE TO OFFSET
EXPENSES AND PAY THE NECESSARY TAXES. ALL MODALITIES
OF THIS TRANSACTION HAVE BEEN WORKED OUT AND ONCE
STARTED WILL NOT TAKE MORE THAN 10 WORKING DAYS, WITH
YOUR FULL SUPPORT. THIS TRANSACTION IS 100% RISK FREE.
IF THIS PROPOSAL SATISFIES YOU, PLEASE REACH US ONLY
BY FAX OR PHONE, FOR MORE INFORMATION. IT MIGHT BE
DIFFICULT TO GET THROUGH TO ME, BECAUSE OF POOR
TELECOMMUNICATION SYSTEM HERE. PLEASE KEEP TRYING, YOU
WILL DEFINITELY GET THROUGH. IF YOU CANNOT GET THROUGH

NB: FOR CONFIDENTIAL REASONS AND DUE TO THE POOR
COMMUNICATION SYSTEM IN MY COUNTRY, MOST OFTEN FOREIGN
CALLS COULD BE DIVERTED TO THE WRONG PERSON. SO FOR
YOU TO BE VERY SURE YOU ARE RIGHTLY SPEAKING WITH ME,
IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT WHEN YOU CALL AND ASK FOR
ME, THE MOMENT I PICK UP THE PHONE, YOU SHOULD ASK ME
FOR THE "CODE WORD" AND MY ANSWER WOULD BE "GOODLUCK"
BEFORE WE PROCEED DISCUSSIONS, BUT IF I DO NOT SAY
"GOODLUCK", THAT MEANS YOU ARE NOT SPEAKING WITH ME
JUST DISCONNECT THE LINE AND CALL ME BACK TILL I GIVE
YOU THE CODE WORD.
