Assalamalaikum,

PERMISSION TO REMIT US $20MILLION INTO YOUR COMPANY OR PRIVATE ACCOUNT.

It is my pleasure to write and inform you of a transaction involving the
transfer of US $20,000,000.00 (Twenty Million US Dollars) only into a foreign
account for safekeeping pending my arrival to your country for the sharing with
you as the account owner into which the money is remitted.

I am an accountant with the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC),
Lagos and this money originated from an over-invoiced contract executed for the
corporation some years back. A foreign firm has long completed this contract and
the contractor duly paid. I now seek if you would permit the surplus to be
remitted into your account.

As a matter of fact, I am a top government official and I cannot come out openly
to claim this amount. This is why I am looking for a competent and honest
company or individual abroad whose documents will be tendered here in Nigeria
as one of the contractors that executed the project.

However, I would wish to receive your personal assurance that you would not sit
on the money when it goes into your account. More importantly, you keep
confidential this transaction, in order not to tarnish the confidence repose in
the officials involved in this transaction.

To effect this transfer, I therefore request the following: YOUR ACCOUNT NUMBER,
THE NAME OF YOUR BANK WHERE THE MONEY WOULD BE TRANSFERRED INTO AND
ALSO YOUR PRIVATE FAX AND TELEPHONE NUMBERS FOR QUICK COMMUNICATION.

So far, after due consultations, you were strongly and reliably recommended to
me although we have not met or entered into any kind of contract with you
before as to know the extent of your honesty, but based on the recommendation,
I personally want to believe that you are honest enough and would not sit on
the money if finally got into your account. It is on this note that I consider
it proper to write you asking for your permission and support to transfer this
amount into your account.

You should not fear any risk because we have concluded arrangement to safe guard
you in the transaction. This business is 100% risk free. Hence it requires high
level of confidence and secrecy. Meanwhile, this is the breakdown of the
sharing modalities:

(A). 10% WILL BE USED TO SETTLE TRANSFER CHARGES AND LEGAL PROTOCOLS.
(B). 30% IS FOR USING YOUR ACCOUNT.
(C). 60% OF IT WILL BE FOR US THE ORIGINATORS.

Be informed that on completion of this business I will use part of my money to
invest in your country under your care. Please note that the transfer operation
will take ten to twelve working days to be completed. Please contact me by the
above fax, telephone or e-mail.

My deepest prayers for you.
Thanks,
Mr.Yaya Momodu
