DR. FRANCIS OKOH

From: oko5000@mail.com

Date: ??? ??? 14 ??÷???? 2002 13:10:16

Dear Sir,

I write to inform you of our desire to do business with you,thus,we
would like to acquire estates/ landed properties in your country on
behalf of the Director of Contracts and Finance Allocation of the
Federal Ministry of works and Housing in Nigeria.

Considering his very strategic and influential position,he would want
the transaction to be strictly as confidential as possible.He further
wants his identity to remain undisclosed at least for now,until the
completion of this transaction,hence our desire to have you as
oversea contact.

I have therefore been directed to inquire if you would agree to act
in this disguise in order to actualise this transaction by simple
instructions.

The deal in brief is that,the funds with which to carry out our
proposed investments in your country is presently in a coded account
in the Nigerian apex bank CBN and we need your assistance to transfer
the funds to your country or any safe account outside your country in
a convenient bank account that will be provided by you before we can
put the funds into use. For this you shall be purported to have
executed a contract for the Ministry.The contract sum of which shall
run into US$28.5Million allows for your share only 25% after the
transfer,while we as officials will share 70%,while 5% is budgeted
for settlement of charges or expenses incured here or oversea.

Your area of specialisation does not matter in this transaction,all
that is required of you is a your willingness to assist us provide a
bank account for the safety of our funds.

As soon as payment is effected and the amount mentioned above is
successfully transferred into your account,I intend to use my share
for my family and some real investments abroad.It might interest you
to note that,a similar transaction was carried out with one MR.CHEN
YU of Taiwan but after he secured the payment approvals,and payment
effected to him, MR.CHEN-YU changed his numbers and address,and was
no where to be found on getting to Taiwan.That was how the sum of
US$7.5Million was lost.So this time around,I will be with you before
the remmittance is made into your provided account to avoid future
occurrence and allow trust to play a very minimal role until
performance is seen.

You are therefore requested to communicate your response inorder to
send you further details of the modalities for seeing this
transaction through.If however,you do not meet my need,kindly destroy
this letter in view of the confidentiality of the proposed
transaction and interest of personalities involved.

Thank you very much for your time,send your response not later than
3-days,include your telephone/fax numbers in your reply,
So that I do not or may need to search for another reliable
individual.

Best Regards,
Dr. Francis Okoh
