(PRINCIPAL AUDITOR)
NIGERIAN NATIONAL PETROLLEUM CORPORATION
(NNPC) LAGOS, NIGERIA

ATTN: DIRECTOR

COMPLIMENT OF THE DAY TO YOU.
 I WISH TO EXTEND THIS MUTUAL BUSINESS PROPOSAL TO YOU
WITH THE HOPE THAT YOU WILL GLADLY ACCEPT.
 I AM THE PRINCIPAL AUDITOR OF THE NIGERIAN NATIONAL
PETROLEUM CORPORATION.
 A POST I HAVE HELD FOR THE PAST THREE YEARS. IN THE
COURSE OF DISCHARGING MY DUTY LAST YEAR, I DISCOVERED
THAT SOME GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS IN THE PAST, COMMITTED
SOME IRREGULARITIES IN THE FORM OF OVER-INVOICED
CONTRACT VALUES WHICH EVENTUALLY GO INTO THEIR PRIVATE
BANK ACCOUNTS. 
WHAT INTEREST ME MOST AND FOR WHICH REASON I AM
WRITING YOU IS THIS PARTICULAR CONTRACT WHICH WAS
AWARDED TO A FOREIGN CONTRACTOR, IT WAS OVER ESTIMATED
BY THE TUNE OF US$5 M (FIVE MILLION U.S.DOLLARS). 
THIS CONTRACT HAS BEEN COMPLETED AND COMMISSIONED AND
THE CONTRACTOR FULLY PAID, BUT THE US $ 5M OVER
ESTIMATED VALUE OF THE CONTRACT IS STILL LYING AT THE
CENTRAL BANK OF NIGERIA (CBN). 
BECAUSE OF THE HASTE WITH WHICH THE LAST GOVERNMENT
WAS REMOVED FROM OFFICE, THESE MEN HAS NO CHANCE
TO COLLECT THIS MONEY BEFORE LEAVING THE OFFICE.
 BUT AS A RESULT OF UPDATED PAYMENTS ADVISE AT THE
CENTRAL BANK OF NIGERIA (CBN),IT HAS BEEN AWAITING
TRANSFER TO A FOREIGN ACCOUNT. 
IN MY REPORT, I RECOMMENDED THAT THIS MONEY SHOULD BE
PAID BUT ON THE CONDITION THAT THE CONTRACTOR SHOULD
BE INFORMED.
MY RECOMMENDATION WAS ACCEPTED AND I HAVE BEEN GIVEN
THE GO-AHEAD ORDER TO GET IN-TOUCH WITH THE FOREIGN
CONTRACTORS, BUT SINCE THE CONTRACTOR HAS BEEN FULLY
PAID FOR THE JOB HEDID, I WANT TO DIVERT THIS MONEY TO
ANOTHER FOREIGN ACCOUNT. 
HAVING DONE ALL THE NECESSARY GROUND WORK,THIS MONEY
IS IN MY POSSESSION AND I AM LOOKING FORWARD FOR A
TRUST WORTHY PERSON INTO WHOSE PRIVATE OR COMPANY'S
ACCOUNT THIS MONEY WILL BE TRANSFERRED INTO. 
I WISH TO RETIRE FROM SERVICE AFTER THIS TRANSACTION
AND GO INTO BUSINESS IN YOUR COUNTRY THROUGH YOU AS MY
AGENT.
 YOU ARE THEREFORE REQUESTED TO KINDLY ALLOW ME TO
TRANSFER THIS MONEY INTO YOUR ACCOUNT PRTHAT I CAN
WITHS DRAW THIS MONEY WHEN I WANT TO.
 UPON THE TRANSFER OF THIS MONEY, 65% OF THE TOTAL SUM
WILL BE FOR ME AND MY COLLEAGUES WHILE 30% SHALL BE
FOR YOU THE ACCOUNT OWNER AND THE REMAINING 5% SHALL
BE SET ASIDE TO REFUND EXPENSES MADE IN THE COURSE OF
THIS TRANSACTION. 
BE ASSURED THAT THIS BUSINESS IS RISK-FREE BUT THE
KEYWORD IS THE CONFIDENTIALITY DUE TO THE NATURE OF
THE TRANSACTION AND MY POSITION IN THE MINISTRY.
KINDLY TREAT AS URGENT AND CONTACT MEIMMEDIATELY
THROUGH MY E-MAIL DDRESS:[email-masked]
WILL BE FULLY DETAILED WHEN I HEAR FROM YOU. 
YOUR BANKING PARTICULARS,I.E ACCOUNT NUMBER, TELEX,
BENEFICIARY, AND YOUR PRIVATE TELEPHONE AND FAX
NUMBERS ARE VITAL TO THE SUCCESS OF THIS TRANSACTION
FOR UPDATING AND REMITTANCE PROTOCOL.

BEST REGARDS

DR IBRAHIM TANKO
