Lagos Nigeria

Dear Sir,

REQUEST FOR URGENT BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP

I am the financial controller of Nigerian National
Petroleum Corporation (NNPC). I got your Contact
address from an associate working with the Nigerian
Export Promotion Council. I and my colleagues are
ministry officials in charge of offshore remittance in
this Corporation (NNPC). We are seeking your
assistance to transfer of Forty Two Million
(US$42,000,000.00) to your account for further private
investment.

This amount accrued from an over-invoiced contract
amount for the construction of an Oil Refinery Sub-
stations in Nigeria in 1995 to expatriate companies.
Thecontract was originally valued for one Hundred and
Twenty Seven Million United States Dollar
US$127,000,000.00) but we manipulated the figure to
read one Hundred and Sixty Nine Million United States
Dollars($169,000,000.00) The extra $42,000,000.00 is
what we want to transfer to your account.

This contract has been completely executed and the
original contractors have been paid all their contract
bills less this $42,000,000.00 For your assistance, we
have agreed to remunerate you with 30% because it is
impossible for us to claim the amount here in Nigeria
without foreign collaboration. 5% has been mapped out
for any miscellaneous expenses incurred by either
party during this business, and 65% for my colleagues
and myself.

It may interest you to know that four years ago, a
similar transaction was carried out with one Mr.
Patrice Miller, the President of Craine International
Trading Corporation at number 135 East 57th Street,
28th floor,New York.10022 with Tel: 212-308-7788 and
TLX number 6731689. Mr. Patrice disappeared into thin
air when he received the money. His Telephone and
Telex numbers had been reallocated to other users by
the time we arrived New York for our share. This
explains exactly why we will make a concrete agreement
between you and us, should you be willing to assist in
this deal.

All modalities to effect the payment and subsequent
transfer of this money have been worked out. This
transaction is 100% risk free but rquires 100 percent
confidentiality. This is a golden opportunity which
must not be allowed to slip out of any careless acts
and utterances. We chose you for this transaction
because we believe that good friends can be discovered
and businesses such as this cannot be realized without
trust. You can be rest assured that your security has
been considered before you were contacted.

Upon the reciept of this mail message, feel free to
send to me the following, to enable us start the process:

1. Your full Names and contact address.
2. Your private telephone and fax numbers.

Thanks and best regards in anticipation of your
response.


Best Regards,

Eng.Patrick Ude
