Dear Sir,
REQUEST FOR ASSISTANCE-STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL

I am Dr. SANI SABO, a top management staff in the Nigerian National
Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) and I head a seven-man tender? board in charge
of Contract Awards and Payments Approvals. I came to know of you in my
search for a reliable and reputable person to handle a very confidential
transaction that involves the transfer of a huge sum of money to a foreign
account. There were series of contracts executed by a consortium
Multinationals in the oil industry in favour of NNPC among which were:
The Supply of Y2K Compliant Personal Computers and Accessories to the
Warri, Port Harcourt and Kaduna Refineries; Supply of Drugs and Relief
materials to the victims of the Niger/ Delta crises; The construction of
Schools, Hospitals and Housing Units in the Niger/Delta Region.
The original value of these contracts were deliberately over invoiced in
the sum of USD TWENTY ONE MILLION, FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS ($21.5M)
which has been approved and is now ready to be transferred as all the
Companies that actually executed these contracts have been paid and the
projects officially commissioned.
Consequently, my colleagues and I are willing to transfer the total amount
to your account for subsequent disbursement, since we as civil servants are
prohibited by the Code of Conduct Bureau (Civil Service Laws) from opening
and/ or operating foreign accounts in our names.
In return for your services, we have resolved to give you 25% of the
transferred sum, while 5% shall be set aside for incidental expenses
(internal and external) between the parties in the course of the
transaction. You will be mandated to remit the balance 70% to other
accounts in due course.

Furthermore, Modalities have been worked out at the highest levels of the
Ministry of Finance and the Central Bank of Nigeria for the immediate
transfer of the funds within 10 working days subject to your satisfaction
of the above stated terms. Our assurance is that your role is risk free.
To accord this transaction the legality it deserves and for mutual security
of the fund, the whole approval procedures will be officially and legally
processed with your name or any company you may nominate as the Bonafide
beneficiary.

Once more, I want you to understand that having put in over 26 years in the
service of my country, I am averse to having my image and career dented.
This matter should therefore be treated with utmost secrecy and urgency.

Kindly expedite action as we are behind schedule to enable us include this
transfer in the third batch of this financial quarter payment.

Please acknowledge the receipt of this message via my direct email:

Yours Sincerely,

Dr. SANI SABO
