URGENT
AND CONFIDENTIAL




MR.
ABBAS BUNDU

FAX:
234-1-7594494


Attn: The Chief Executive Officer

REQUEST FOR URGENT AND CONFIDENTIAL BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP

Please permit me to introduce myself to you, my names are Mr. ABBAS BUNDU
a Petroleum Engineer with the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation and
a member of the contract award committee of the above corporation, which
is under, The Federal Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Resources.

CONFIDENTIAL THE SOURCE OF THE FUND IS AS FOLLOWS:

With the assistance of some senior officials of the Federal Ministry of
Finance and Office of the Accountant General of the Federation, we want to
quietly transfer the sum of Nineteen Million US Dollars only ($19m US
Dollars only) out of my country Nigeria. This US$19 M US Dollar was
quietly over-estimated on the contract for Turn around Maintenance (TAM)
of Port Harcourt petrochemical refinery in Nigeria (SOUTHERN NIGERIA) and
the Rehabilitation of Petroleum Pipelines, Depot and Jetties. The actual
contract value of this said project was US$171M US Dollars, but my
colleagues and I deliberately increased the contract to our own benefit to
the tune of $190M US Dollars, of which the over-estimated value of US$19M
US Dollars belongs to us and this amount is what we want to secretly
transfer into your personal or company account for safe keeping and sharing.

The Federal Government and the Federal Ministry of Petroleum and Natural
Resources have approved the total sum of US$190 Million US Dollars. The
project has been completed and commissioned by the Federal Government and
the original contractors have been paid their Contractual sum and what is
left now is the US$19Million US Dollars. Under this circumstance and upon
your acceptance we will register You/your Company as a sub-contractor to
the original contractors with my corporation, so that this fund can be
transferred into your account without hitch whatsoever.

Our reasons of soliciting your assistance to transfer this fund to your
account is owing to the policy of the Federal Government of Nigeria, the
code conduct debars us civil servants (Government Workers) from operating
a foreign account, hence we seeking your assistance. After several
deliberations with my colleagues, we decided to give you 25% as your
entitlement for your assistance for providing your account, while 70% will
be for us and the remaining 5% would be used to offset all local and
foreign expenses that might be incurred during this transaction.

However this is based on the ground that you would assure me of the
following:

1 That after the successful transfer of the $19m us dollars into your
account, you will give us our own fare share of 70% without running away
with the money or setting on it to our detriment.

2 That you will treat this business with utmost secrecy, Confidentiality,
understanding and sincerity, which this business demands.

3 You will assist us (by way of advice) to invest our own share in
business venture in your country.

4 Upon your acceptance of this proposal I will send a TEXT for you to fill
in your letter headed paper and return back to me, as we shall use this
TEXT to raise an application for payment on your behalf as you will be
made the recognized beneficiary of the fund.

KINDLY FORWARD YOUR TELEPHONE AND FAX NUMBER to me also.
PLEASE NOTE: that this business is 100% risk free and will not implicate
you in any way, sir. Finally please if you feel you cannot do this
business with us, kindly delete this message from your computer or destroy
it as it will do you no good showing it to a third party or anybody
whatsoever, please kindly do us this favor for God sake. The kind of
business you do does not effect the business.

Sincerely yours,
MR. ABBAS BUNDU

well, you just ripped off its confidentiality, but these kind of frauds do happen, press in our country have exploited many such scams in India but no action was taken due to corrupt officials and politicians involved in whole process.

well, i guess somebody is $(*&$# with you.

You have got to be kidding me right??:eek: Send them a message back saying sure you will do it. After the money transfer (if there every is one) just drop off the face of the earth.. There would be no way for them to legally come after you for taking laundered money!! However when the IRS catches up with you, they would have a field day!!

I could see trying to explain this one to my accountant.. "Hey just got a huge customer this week and paid for a lifetime of hosting at the cost of $19 million, do you think we can hide this in the books somewhere??" :laugh: :laugh:

I made him an offer in return....surprise though....mine had him sending money to me first. Of course, I didn't give him any information other than to say it would have to be cash and to a U. S. Post Office Box...and just to keep it legal...mark it clearly as a personal present with nothing expected in return.
