URGENT UTILISATION ASSISTANCE

Dear Friend

URGENT UTILISATION ASSISTANCE.

I am DR. ARLIRU AYODELE the chairman of Contract advisory board of the Nigeria Department of Petroleum Resources (D.P.R) I am contacting you based on the esteem recommendation from a high-ranking officer of the Chambers of Commerce and Industry, This business proposal I wish to intimate you with is of mutual benefit and its success is based on trust, cooperation and a high level of Confidentiality. I am seeking your assistance in the utilization of the sum US$18.5M (Eighteen Million Five Hundred Thousand U.S.Dollars).
This fund came about as a result of a contract awarded and executed on behalf of my ministry the department of Petroleum Resources(D.P.R). The Contract was supposed to be awarded to two Foreign Contractors to the tune of US$60,000,000,(Sixty Million United Dollars) But in the course of the Negotiation that involved the then Senate President Late Chief Chuba Okadigbo while on seat, the Contract was awarded to a Malaysian Contractor at the cost of US$41,500,000(Forty One Million Five Hundred Thousand U.S Dollars) to our benefit unknown to the Malaysian Contractor.

I and the Senate President then resolved to transfer the excess of
$18.5M into his Foreign Account for our Utilisation upon the completion of the Contract. This contract has been satisfactorily executed and
inspected as the Malaysian contractor is presently being paid, With the death of the Senate President Chief Chuba Okadigbo I am forced
to seek for a foreign Assistance as I am left alone to Utilise this Fund, but for the fact that I as a civil Servant is forbidden from
operating a foreign Account here in my Country, I am seeking your assistance to provide a foreign Account which this fund will be transferred for our Utilisation.

On actualization I have resolved to offer you 35% for the essential
Assistance and 5% has been ear-marked for any incidental expenses, 60% is for me the Initiator of this transaction/deal All arrangements are in place to conclude this transaction within next few weeks of commencement. Please furnish me with your telephone/fax numbers and mobile telephone numbers.
