For your kind attention,
First, I must solicit your strictest confidence in
this transaction, this is by virtue of it's nature as
being utterly confidential and top secret .We are top
officials from the Federal Ministry of Works and
Housing,(FMWH),Federal Ministry of Finance 
and the Presidency, making up the Contract Review 
Panel (CRP) set up by the Federal Government of 
Nigeria to review contracts awarded by the past 
military administration. 
In the course of our work on the CRP, we discovered
this fund which resulted from grossly over-invoiced
contracts which were executed for the FMW&H during the
last administration. The companies that executed the
contracts have been duly paid and the contracts
commissioned leaving the sum of US$35.4 Million
floating in the escrow account of the Central Bank of
Nigeria ready for payment. 
I have therefore been mandated as a matter of trust by
my colleagues in the panel to look for an overseas
partner to whom we could transfer the sum of US$35.4M
legally subcontracting the entitlement to your
company. This is bearing in mind that our civil 
service code of conduct forbids us from owning 
foreign company or running foreign account while in
government service hence the need for an overseas
partner. 
We have agreed that the funds will be shared thus
after it has been paid into your account: 
(1) 30% of the money will go to you for acting as the
beneficiary of the fund. 
(2) 10% has been set aside as an abstract projection
for reimbursements to both parties for incidental
expenses that may be incurred in the course of the
transaction. 
(3) 60% to us the government officials (with which we
wish to commence an importation business in
conjunction with you).  All logistics are in place and
all modalities worked out for the smooth conclusion of
the transaction within ten to fourteen days of
commencement after receipt of the following
information: Your company name, address, company's
details, telephone & fax numbers. 
These information will enable us make the applications
and lodge claims to the concerned ministries &
agencies in favour of your company and it is pertinent
to state here that this transaction is entirely based
on trust as the solar bank draft or certified cheque
draw able in any of the Central Bank of Nigeria
correspondent bankers around the world is going to be
made in your name.  Please acknowledge the receipt of
this letter using my e-mail address eghobia_2001 at yahoo.co.uk,stating your interest and
tel/fax number for further details. 
Yours faithfully, 
DrJOHN OWEN
