ASSISTANCE REQUIRED PLEASE

[bug-gfe]

Attn: President/Chief Executive Officer
Dear Sir,
 
Please allow me to introduce myself. I am Professor Theophilous Mukthar and I 
am a Director with the Budget and Planning Department in Nigerian National 
Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), Lagos. I am also the Head of the Ministerial 
Tenders Committee in the Ministry of Petroleum Resources. Our duties in the 
Committee center around the award of contracts in the Ministry.

My colleagues and I, of the Committee, in collaboration with the Contract 
Appraisal Director in my corporation overinflated the contract value for the 
TURN AROUND MAINTENANCE (TAM) contracts of two refineries in Nigeria awarded in 
1997 to a chosen firm of contractors. This was done in order for us to receive 
as consideration 10% of the total contract value as our commission.

The contract was completely executed and the contractor has been paid for all 
the phases of work done. The sum of US$31.00 Million is left over and it 
represents the 10% which had been agreed on earlier as our commission for 
awarding the firm the contract.

We hereby solicit your co-operation in order that the funds may be remitted to 
your bank account. We seek this assistance because it is not possible for us by 
virtue of our positions in government to claim it. In this light we ask for 
your help in a mutually beneficial relationship. We request that you provide 
all the necessary assistance you can so that the funds can be transferred into 
your account. We intend to invest part of the funds in your business (if you 
accept) and any other viable companies that you may advice. Part of the funds 
will be used in the purchase of finished products from your country for resale 
in Nigeria while whatever is left over you would help us to deposit in a 
fiduciary or trust account.

If you wish to assist, we are willing to give you a commission of 30% of the 
funds. 10% will be set aside for any miscellaneous expenses we [any party] may 
incur during the process of the transfer. 

We have worked out all modalities to effect the transfer of the funds and there 
is absolutely no risk involved. However in the light of the way I am contacting 
you, I will understand if you are a bit sceptical. May I refer you to an 
article by a leading Nigerian newspaper for you to understand how people have 
been shipping money out off Nigeria for years. Please go to 
www.thisdayonline.com. It is the website for a Nigerian daily. Click on the 
link for ARCHIVES. It is to the bottom left of the web page. Then click on the 
link for 2001. Thereafter click on March 2001. Finally click on the 10th of 
March 2001. The lead story there should interest you quite a bit and give you 
an insight into exactly what I propose.

I would like you to understand that you must be very discreet in the way you 
handle this issue as we are public servants in the employment of the 
government. If this business transaction is successful (i.e. when the money 
gets to your account) we will resign from government service to engage in 
private business.
 
If you are willing to assist us, please feel free to contact me and I will give 
you a full picture of what is entailed. 

Thanking you in advance for your assistance.
I remain,
Sincerely yours,

Theo Mukthar
