ATTN,

 REQUEST FOR URGENT BUSINESS RELATION

We are member of the "Tenders committee" appointed by
the Federal Republic of Nigeria for contract
Awards/payment approval in the FMW & Housing.Our
duties include evaluation,vetting approval for payment
of contract executed for the Federal Government.
On the 10th of october, 1999, this committee awarded a
contract of $600 Million United Dollars to the
consortium of Julius Bergers,SETRACO ITALY,BOUYGUES
Offshore and a joint Venture of SPIEBATIGNOLES and
Fouguerolle,for an engineering,procurement andconstruction work in Nigeria.
My colleagues and I decided to over-invoice the
contract sum to the of $635.520m with the intention of
sharing the remaining $35.520m among ourselves.The
Federal Government of Nigeria has since approved the
sum of $635.520m for the concerned foreign companies
as full payment for the contract excuted.But since
each of the companies are entitled to @150m; we intend
to transfer the remaining $35.520m abroad into safe
and reliable account to be disbursed among ourselves.
My colleages and I have agreed that if your company
can act as the beneficiary of this fund {35.520m} you
and your conpany will retain 25% of the total amount
while 65% will be for us and remaining10% will be used
to offset any expenses incurred by the both parties
during the course of the transfer.
It may interest you to know that, two years ago a
similar transaction was carried out with one Mr. Ryan
Stuat, the Presidento Craine international Trading
Corporation of No 135 East 57th Street, 28th Floor,
New York with the Tell. Number (212) 308-7788 and
Telex Number 6731689. After the agreement between
both parties in which he was to take 25% of the money
while the reamining 65% was for us, with the payment
approvals secured and revelant document signed; the
money was duyly transferred into his account; only 
be disappointed on our arrival in New York, that he
had changed addresses while his telephone and telex
number had been reallocated. That was how we lost
$23.088m to Mr Ryan Stuat. We could not report the
case to the authority due to its nature as being
utterly confidential. This time, we need a more
reliable and trustworthy partner with a reputable
company's account to transfer this money into. Hence this proposal to you.
It took us a years and some months to find-tune all
the preparations for this transaction to meet all
legal and administrative requirement in Nigeria and
those of International Arbitration as the modalities
applied in the case of Mr. Ryan have changed due to
the incessant changes in monetary policies of my
Country. However we hope to conclude this transaction
within ten (10) banking days from the date of receipt
of the request information and commence the
transaction fo funds. Therefore, we require from you the following by fax.

1. Your company name2. Company address3. Banking name and address
4. Account number and account name (if any)
5. Your telephone and fax numbers and any other
relevant information you may consider helpful.

With the above information, we will use your company
name to re-award the contract, put up the letters of
claims and apply for payment.
We wish to bring to your notice that the personalities
involved in this transaction are Top and influential
Government Functionaries who will not like any form of
exposure and as such would want you to keep this
buainess highly confidential. Be rest assured that
this transaction is 100% risk free on both sides.
We are lookinf forward to doing this business with
you. whilemaintaining maximum confidentially.

I shall bring you into the complete picture of this
transaction on reciept of your response
