 RE: URGENT & CONFIDENTIAL BUSINESS PROPOSAL

 Dear Sir,

 I am Dr   Pat Abu  Contract Award and Verification Committee of the above state
d Department Terms of Reference My term of reference involves the award of contr
acts to Foreign Multinational Companies and Corporations. My office is saddled w
ith the responsibility of contract award, screening, categorization and prioriti
zation of projects embarked upon by Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR) as w
ell as feasibility studies for selected projects and supervising the project con
sultants involved. A breakdown of the fiscal expenditure by this office as at th
e end of last fiscal quarter of 2000 indicates that DPR paid out a whooping sum 
of US$736M(Seven Hundred And Thirty Six Million, United States Dollars) to successful 
Foreign contract beneficiaries. The DPR is now compiling beneficiaries to be paid 
for the fist  Quarter of the 2002 fiscal year. The crux of this letter is that the 
finance/contract department of the DPR deliberately over ^Öinvoiced the contract
 value of the various contracts awarded. In the course of disbursements, this 
department has been able to accumulate the sum of US$38.2M(Thirty-eight Million, 
two hundred Thousand U.S Dollars) as the over-invoiced sum. This money is currently 
in a suspense account of the DPR account with the Debt Reconciliation Committee (DRC). 
We now seek to process the transfer of this fund officially as contract payment to 
you as a foreign contractor, who will be fronting for us as the beneficiary of the 
fund. In this way we can facilitate these funds into your nominated account for 
possible investment abroad. We are not allowed as a matter of government policy to 
operate any foreign account to transfer this fund into. However, for your involvement 
in assisting us with this transfer into your nominated account we have evolved a 
sharing formula as follows: (1) 20% for you as the foreign partner (2) 75% for I 
and my colleagues (3) 5% will be set aside to defray all incidental expenses both 
Locally and Internationally during the course of this transaction. We shall be 
relying on your advice as regard investment of our share in any business in your 
country. Be informed that this business is genuine and 100% safe considering the 
high-power government officials involved. Send your private fax/telephone numbers. 
Upon your response we shall provide you with further information on the procedures. 
Feel free to send response by Fax: 234-1-7590904 / TEL: 234-1-7762182 expecting your 
response urgently. All enquiries should be directed to the undersigned by FAX ,E-MAIL
