Subject: BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP Bottom
of Form 1 REQUEST FOR URGENT BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP TRANSFER OF US$25,500,000.00 I am DR. Dave Owolabi a director in the project and planning department of the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), I head a seven man Tenders Board Committee in charge of contract award and Payment approvals. I came to know of you in my search for a reliable and reputable person to handle a very confidential transaction, which involves the transfer of a huge sum of money to a foreign account. There were series of contracts executed by a consortium of Multinationals in the oil industry in favour of the (NNPC) among which were; 1) The expansion of Pipeline network within Nigeria for crude oil and downstream products distribution and subsequent evacuation - US$2 Billion. 2) Contract for Turn Around Maintenance (TAM) of various Refineries in the country. 3) The construction of Storage Tanks for Petroleum Product (Depots)-US$94 Million. The original value of of these contracts were deliberately over invoiced in the sum of Twenty Five million, Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars US$25,500,000.00) which has recently been approved and now ready to be transferred. However the companies that actually executed the aforementioned contract have been fully paid and the projects officially commissioned. Consequently, my colleagues and I are willing to transfer the total amount into your account for subsequent disbursement, since we as civil servants are prohibited by the Code of Conduct Bureau (Civil Service Laws) from opening and/or operating foreign accounts in our names. Needless to say, the trust reposed in you at this juncture is enormous. In return, we have agreed amongst ourselves to offer you 15% of the transferred sum, 5% shall be set aside for any incidental expenses during the course of this transaction, you will then be mandated to revert the balance to us in due course. You must however NOTE that this transaction is subject to the following terms and conditions; our conviction of your transparent honesty and diligence, that you must accord this transaction with utmost confidentiality and secrecy. Modalities have been worked out at the highest levels of the Ministry 0f Finance, Central Bank of Nigeria and the Presidential Task Force on Contract Payment for the immediate remittance of the funds within 10 - 14 working days subject to your satisfaction of the above terms. Our assurance is that your role shall be totally risk free. To accord this transaction the legality it deserves, and for mutual security of funds, the whole procedures shall be legally processed with your name or any company you may nominate as the bona fide final beneficiary. Once more, I want you to understand that having put in over 20 years in the Civil Service of my country, I am very much averse to having my image and career dented. This matter should therefore be treated with utmost secrecy and urgency. Kindly expedite immediate action as we are well behind schedule to enable us include this transfer in the second batch of the 2001 fiscal year contract payments. BEST REGARDS. Dr Dave Owolabi.

Dr. Eli Joseph NNPC God Bless Les! I just wanted to thank you so much for your website. My husband and I were almost suckered into one of the Nigerian scams. We received an email with the subject "VERY URGENT" and were skeptical but decided to get more information. The email was from a man by the name of Desmond Okafor and he said that he was an engineer with the Nigerian National Petroleum Corp. and that his committee over-invoiced a contract for US$22,561,000.00 and that we would get 30% of the money if we provided our bank details. My husband and I are educated, college graduates. We are not stupid people, but this man was so reassuring, calling my husband "my brother" and saying that he was a Christian who wanted to come to the U.S. to practice his religion and live a better life. He ended his emails with "God Bless" which infuriates me even more. We also received several email from people with the names of "Duke" and "Owen George." After much discussion, we decided to go for it. At the last minute I came across your website and read the information about all the Nigerian scams and I was stunned. I had obviously never heard of it before. I am so grateful for the information - we almost lost $11,700 which may not seem like a large amount compared to what some have lost, but it's still money. It sickens me that this is still going on. Thank you so much for your very informative website - it saved us! 03/05/02 Dr. John Gbenga (Principal Auditor) DR. PAUL GORDON DR TUNDE HASSAN ...
