FROM THE DESK OF: DR. JACKSON IKOM IBE
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR AND FINANCIAL CONTROLLER
NIGERIAN NATIONAL PETROLEUM CORPORATION (N. N. P. C).

E-mail: ibe.jackson@nnpc-oil.net

ATTN: President/CEO,

I am Dr. Jackson Ikom Ibe, the Group Director and Financial Controller of Nigeria

National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), because of my position and that of
other strategic officials who are heads in their departments, we have in our

possession, since 1997 the sum of US$800M Dollars (Eight hundred million
United States Dollars) which we amassed through over-invoicing of foreign
contracts fully executed and commissioned with the different foreign
contractors duely paid their full contract amounts.

We have made several fruitless moves to transfer this fund abroad for our
mutual benefits. One in 1998 when one Mr. Patrice Miller of the United
States of America, living at No 10, West 54th Street, New York,
ran away with our US$65M Dollars after the fund has been transferred into his

account. It was unbelievable, shocking and hypertensive that when we went
there to claim our share of the fund, we were told that nobody with that name

was living in that house and that the former occupier of the flat moved away
few weeks ago to an unknown house. This is how we lost US$65M Dollars to
the heartless Patrice Miller.

The second attempt was when in 1999, we decided to carry US$80M dollars in
cash through the Lagos lnternational Airport but was stopped by the
Nigerian Custom Officers who seized the fund till today. This is how we lost
another US$80M Dollars to the Nigerian Custom.

Following the peaceful life ushered in by the current democratic
dispensation in Nigeria, I and my colleagues have decided to transfer the sum
of US$48.5M (Forty Eight Million Five Hundred Thousand United
States Dollars) into a foreign account operated by a foreigner for our
mutual benefits. By this letter, I request your assistance in transferring
and safeguarding the sum of US$48.5M Dollars for our
mutual benefits.

For assisting us in transferring and safeguarding this fund, you will be
entitled to 35% of the total sum 5% will be set aside for charity and
philanthropic purposes 57% belongs to me and my colleagues while 3%
will go for reimbursement of all expenses made by both parties. However, I
want you to be human and humane so that you do not become this second
Patrice Miller of the United States. It is imperative to note that this
transaction is risk-free as all modalities for the successful transfer of this fund

have been perfected by my colleagues in the relevant ministries.
However, we should see absolute confidentiality as our watchword
throughout the course of this transaction for we are civil servants
and will equally not like the 1999 event to re-dramatise itself.

At your consent, I will be grateful if you can urgently furnish me
with your private telephone, fax and mobile numbers and name of
beneficiary and your banking details with the telex numbers of the
receiving bank. These will enable us speed up the claim of
the fund and eventual transfer into your nominated account.

Looking forward to hear from you soonest.

Best Regards,

DR. JACKSON IKOM IBE
