FEDERAL MINISTRY OF WORKS AND HOUSING
OBALENDE-IKOYI LAGOS.

FROM: VICTOR MARTINS.

ASSISTANCE REQUIRED FOR TRANSFER OF US$25M AND
ACQUISITION OF PROPERTIES (REAL ESTATES]

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am making this contact with you on behalf of my colleagues. I am a member of the TENDER

BOARD COMMITTEE (TBC) of the Federal Ministry of Works and Housing of Lagos Nigeria. Our

duties includes: award, evaluation and review of contracts.

In 1996, my committee (TBC) awarded a contract of US$150,000,000 (One Hundred and Fifty

Million United States Dollars only) to a joint venture of SPEIBATIGNOLES and FOUGEROLLE, for

an engineering, procurement, construction of pipeline network at Eleme Petro-Chemical plant.

As it were, the actual contract sum was deliberately over-invoiced by us (TBC) with the sum

of US$25,000,000.00 (TWENTY-FIVE MILLION UNITED STATES DOLLARS ONLY). The project was

executed, commissioned and the contractor(s) paid accordingly.

My colleagues and I want to transfer the over-invoiced amount into a viable foreign account. We have therefore resolved that as long as you can act as the sole beneficiary of the fund.

The following will be the mode of sharing: 25% (i.e. US$6.25M) for beneficiary i.e. owner of

account, 10% for expenses incurred during the course of transfer and 65% for us the

officials. Let me reiterate at this juncture, that there are top and influential government

officials involved in this transfer and as such I would appreciate it if this business is

treated with utmost confidentiality.

I do hope I can trust you as regards this matter. In the light of this, I would like you to

forward to me the following information:

1. Your company name and address if any
2. Your personal fax number
3. Your personal telephone number for easy communication.
4. A scanned copy of your International Passport or a Driver's Licensee.

This will enable us to forward the information to the Corporation for purposes of processing

and immediate remittance of this fund to the account that will be provided by you. All

modalities have been worked out and the necessary machinery put in place with the officials

of the Federal Ministry of Finance and the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to effect this

transfer within the shortest possible time. It is worthy to note that this transaction is

100% risk free; my only fear is the confidentiality of this business from your end. It is

pertinent to note that only an expatriate firm can lay claim to this fund. We are barred

from operating foreign accounts as civil servants still serving the government. As soon as

the payment is effected, and the amount mentioned above is successfully transferred into

your account, we intend to use own share in acquiring some properties (Real Estates) Abroad.

For this too, you shall also serve as our agent.

Please send your reply through this my email address (vicmartins69@gmail.com). I shall send

you my phone number as we progress.

Note that this E-mail is not one of those Internet jokes and should be treated with

seriousness, utmost important and confidentiality. Your quick response will be highly

appreciated. If however, you are not disposed to assist, kindly destroy this letter, in view

of the confidentiality of the proposed transaction and for the interest of the personalities

involved.

Best regards,
Victor Martins
