Europe. Although my enquiry's was not recorded, I do
hereby wish to commence talk with you on a highly

ministerial official and other officer in charge of
offshore remittance in this Corporation. We are
seeking your assistance for the transfer of Twenty
Million Four Hundred Thousand U. S. Dollars
(US$20,400,000.00) to your account for further private
investment purpose. Hence our request for your
assistance.

SOURCE OF FUND: This amount to be transferred into
your account accurred from over-invoiced contract
amount for the construction of Oil Refinery,
Sub-Station in Nigeria (Northern Region) in 1995 to
expatriate companies.

(b) The name of your bank, phone and fax number

had been considered before you were contacted, so be
