Sir,

I am the Chairman Contract Review Committee of

this proposal might come to you as asurprise since
it is coming from someone you do not know or ever
seen before,but after due deliberations with my

twenty million, Five Hundred Thousand United
States Dollars.{US$20,500,000.00}. This sum (US$20.5M) is
an over invoicecontract sum which is currently in an
offshore payment account of the CentralBank of
Nigeria as an unclaimed contract entitlement which
can easily be withdrawn
or drafted or pay to any recommended beneficiary by
my committee. On this note, you will be presented
as a contractor to NEPA whohas executed a contract
to a tune of the above sum and has not been paid.
Proposed Sharing Partern (%): 1. 70% for me and my
colleagues.
2. 20% for you as a partner/fronting for us.
3. 10% for expenses that may be incurred by both
parties duringthe cause of this transacton.
Our law prohibits a civil servant from operating a
foreign account, hence we are contacting you. If
this proposal satisfies you, do respond assoon as
possible with the following information:
1. The name you wish to use as the beneficiary of
the fund.
