REQUEST FOR URGENT BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP. - STRICTLY

[DR. FRED AKIN WILLIAMS]

FROM THE DESK OF:DR FRED AKINWILLIAMS 

LAGOS - NIGERIA. 

Dear Friend, 

REQUEST FOR URGENT BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP. - STRICTLY 
CONFIDENTIAL. 

It is with my profound dignity that I write you this very important and highly 
confidential letter. First, I must solicit your strictest confidentiality in 
this transaction. This is by virtue of its nature as being utterly CONFIDENTIAL 
and "TOP SECRET". Though I know that a transaction of this magnitude will make 
any one apprehensive and worried,considering the fact that we have not met each 
other before, but I am assuring you that all will be well at the end of the 
day. 

We have decided to contact you by email due to the urgency of this transaction, 
as we have been reliably informed that it will take at least a minimum of two 
to three weeks for a normal post to reach you, so we decided it is best using 
the e-mail,which is quicker and also to enable us meet up with the first 
payment quarter for the year 2002 which has already 
begun. 

However, let me start by introducing myself properly to you. I am DR. FRED 
AKINWILLIAMS  a Director General in the Nigerian 
National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) and I presently head a seven man tenders 
board incharge of Contract Awards and Payment 
Approvals. I came to know of you in my search for a reliable and reputable 
person to handle a very confidential business transaction which involves the 
transfer of a huge sum of money to a foreign account requiring maximum 
CONFIDENCE. I and 
my colleagues are Top Officials of the Federal Government Contract Review and 
Award Panel. Our duties include Evaluation, 
Vetting, Approval for payment of Contract jobs done for the N.N.P.C e.t.c. In 
order to commence this business we solicit for your assistance to enable us 
transfer into your Account the said funds. 

The source of this funds is as follows: In the second quarter of 2001 this 
committee was mandated to review and award contracts to the tune of US$400 
million US dollars to a group of five firms for the supply, construction and 
installation of Oil Pipe lines in Warri and Port Harcourt. 

During this process my colleagues and I decided and agreed among ourselves to 
deliberately over-inflate the total contract sum from US$400 million to US$428 
million United States dollars with the main intention of sharing the remaining 
sum of US$28 miilion amongst ourselves. 

The Federal Government of Nigeria has since last year approved the sum of 
US$428 million for us as the contract sum, and the sum of US$400 million has 
also been paid to the foreign companies concerned as contract entitlements for 
the various contracts done, but since the companies are entiltled to US$400 
million dollars only, we are now left with US$28 million dollars balance in the 
account which we intend to disburse amongst ourselves, but by virtue of our 
positions as civil servants and members of this panel, we cannot do this by 
ourselves, as we are prohibited by the Code of Conduct Bureau (Civil Service 
Laws) from opening and/or operating foreign accounts in our names while still 
in Government service, making it impossible for us to acquire the money in our 
names right now. I have therefore, been delegated as a matter of trust and 
urgency by my colleagues in the panel to look for an overseas partner into 
whose account we would transfer the sum of US$28 million. Hence we are writing 
you this letter. 

My Colleagues and I have agreed that if you or your company can act as the 
beneficiary of this funds on our behalf, you or 
your Company will retain 20% of the total amount (US$28 million), while 60% 
will be for us (OFFICIALS) and the remaining 20% will be used in offsetting all 
debts/expenses and Taxes incurred both local and foreign in the cause of this 
transfer. Needless to say, the trust reposed on you at this juncture is 
enormous. In return we demand your complete honesty and trust. You must however 
NOTE that this transaction will be strictly based on the following terms and 
conditions as we have stated 
below; 

a) Our conviction of your transparent honesty and 
diligence 
b) That you would treat this transaction with utmost 
secrecy and 
confidentiality 
c) That you will not ask for more share or try to sit 
on the funds once 
it is under your custody, or any form of blackmail. 
d) That upon receipt of the funds you will release the

funds as instructed by us after you have removed your share of 20% from the 
total amount. Please, note that this transaction is 100% legal and risk free 
and we hope to conclude this transaction seven bank working days from the date 
of receipt of the necessary requirements from you . We are looking forward to 
doing business with you and solicit your Total Confidentiality in 
this transaction. There is no cause for alarm. I give you my word that you are 
completely safe in doing business with us. Transactions like this have been 
successfully carried out in the past by most Government executives. Here in my 
country there is great economic and political disarray and thus looting and 
corruption is rampant and the order of the day, thus explaining why you might 
have heard stories of how money is been taken out of Nigeria, this is because 
everyone is making desperate 
attempts to secure his or her future, so that when we retire from active 
service we donot languish in poverty. I will explain 
more to you when I have heard from you. 

Please acknowledge the receipt of this letter using the above e-mail address. I 
will bring you into the complete picture of
this pending business transaction when I have heard from you and also receive 
your confidential telephone and fax numbers to enable me fax to you all 
necessary information you need to know about our pending business transaction. 
I will also send to you my private telephone and fax numbers where you can 
always reach me. 

Your urgent response will be highly appreciated to enable us transfer the funds 
under this first quarter of the year 2002. 
Thank you and God Bless. 

Yours faithfully, 

DR. FRED AKINWILLIAMS 

N.B. PLEASE BE INFORMED THAT THIS BUSINESS TRANSACTION

IS 100% LEGAL

LAUNDERING. THIS IS A
