Good day,

I would like to firstly send to you the best wishes of good health and 
success in your pursuits particularly through my proposal as contained  in 
this letter.
Before going into details of my proposal to you, I must first implore you to 
treat with the utmost confidentiality as this is required for its success 
and to have faith in this transaction, for opportunities like this only 
comes to one once in a life time.
My colleagues and I are senior officials of the Federal Government of my 
country's Contracts Review Panel (CRP) who are interested in diverting some 
funds that are presently floating in the accounts of the Apex Bank of my 
country. In order to commence this transaction, we solicit for your 
assistance to enable us transfer into your nominated account the said 
floating funds.
The source of the funds are as follows: During the last military regim in my 
country, government officials set up companies and awarded themselves 
contracts that were grossly over-invoiced in various ministries and 
parastatals. The present civilian government set up the Contract Review 
Panel ( as part of it's anti-corruption policy ), which has the mandate to 
use the instruments of payments made available to it by the decree setting 
up the panel, to review these contracts and if necessary pay those who are 
being owed outstanding amounts.
My colleagues and I have identified quite a huge sum of these funds, which 
are presently floating in our (Apex) Central Bank, ready for disbursement 
and would like to divert some of it for our own purposes. However, by virtue 
of our positions as civil servants and members of this panel, we cannot 
acquire these funds in our names or in the names of companies that are based 
in my country. I have therefore been mandated, as a matter of trust by my 
colleagues in the panel, to look for a reliable overseas partner into whose 
account we can transfer the sum of U.S.$20,500,000.00 (Twenty million, five 
hundred thousand U.S. dollars). That is why I am seeking your assistance. We 
have agreed to share the money to be transferred into your account, if you 
agree with our proposition as follows;
(i) 25% to the account owner (you).
(ii) 65% for us (the panel officials).
(iii) 10% to be used in settling all expenses (by both you and us) 
incidental to the actualization of this project.
We wish to invest our share of the proceeds of this project in foreign stock 
markets and other viable business till we are ready and able to have access 
to them without raising any eyebrows here at home. Please note that this 
transaction is 100% safe and risk-free. We intend to effect the transfer 
within ten (10) banking days from the date of receipt of the following 
information through the fax number stated above: Your company's name, 
address, telephone and fax numbers; we will use your company's name to apply 
for the payment and backdate the award of the contract in favour of your 
company. We are looking forward to doing this transaction with you and we 
solicit for your utmost confidentiality in this transaction.
I will bring you into a more detailed picture of this transaction when  I 
hear from you. Please get in touch through my email address above.
Best regards,

DR.PAUL OKOH.
