-----Original Message----- From: richard igho [mailto:drighorich@yahoo.co.uk] Sent: Monday, August 27, 2001 8:12 AM To: kwatson@enron.com Subject: "A POSSIBLE OIL/BUSINESS VENTURE" Presidential Task Force on Oil spillage,DepartmentofPetroleum Resources, Victoria Island,Lagos Nigeria.BUSINESS PROPOSAL WORTH$31.8 MILLION DOLLARS STRICTLYCONFIDENTIAL Dear Sir/Madam, This proposal is coming to you with the ardent belief that you will take advantage of our goodwill and out of our desperation to have a trusted foreign partner whom we can entrust our funds with for safekeeping. This is not a fairy tale but for real. I am Dr.Igho Richard, the secretary to the PresidentialTaskforce on Oil spillage in my country. We are the 6th largest producer of crude oil in the world and more often than not, we always experience oil spillage in the Niger Delta region of my country. These spillage causes a lot of havoc to inhabitants of the community and hence contracts are awarded especially to foreign firms to clean and mop up the spilled crude oil from the areas affected. The spillage sometimes cover several kilometres and the value of contract also runs into millions of dollars. Between 1999 to 2000, some contracts were awarded to a conglomerate of foreign firms by my committee. While awarding these contracts, we have taken time to deliberately over invoice one of them to the tune of $31.8m ( Thirty one million, eight hundred thousand dollars) What we did was to in addition to the original contract sum, revaluate and approve this amount separately and it is presently lying idle in a suspense account with our apex bank here in Nigeria. This amount by all standard now belongs to us but we cannot claim it because it has been made to appear in the ledger as belonging to a foreign contractor. What we desire at this moment is to have this funds transferred into a foreign account but being civil servants who are still in active government service, we are barred from maintaining bank accounts overseas. Thus we have decided to solicit your assistance with a view to going into a joint partnership to get this fund out from the bank. At this juncture, we want you to provide us with a bank account where this fund can be transferred into first and thereafter, we would come over to your country to take possession of our share where we hope to invest part in profitable ventures with you as our adviser. We would like to inform you that the nature of your business or profession at this point is immaterial because in all over the world, bigger firms after bidding for and winning some contract especially in a third world economy like ours, do subcontract part or whole of the contract to other firms for execution. It could also be carried out in any capacity as an individual. So, you or your organization, having the status of a subcontractor , with proper documentation, can file an application for the payment of this fund in your name and into your bank account. We have agreed in principle to share this fund in these ratio: 74.5% will be for my colleagues and I, 25% will be given to you for your assistance and .5% has been earmarked to take care of any expenses during the course of this transaction. All modality for the smooth transfer of this fund has been worked out and it meets all legal and administrative requirement in Nigeria as applicable to foreign contractors payment in the past. If your response is in the affirmative, within a period of two weeks or 10 working days, this fund would have been confirmed and transferred into your account. We have taken the risk aspect of it into consideration and I want to assure you that it is actually risk free as the contract will be re-awarded in your name before the application will be made. We will follow the procedures systematically with flawless documentation. This is authentic. If you feel you will be of assistance and a beneficiary from this largesse,kindly send a reply to this mail to that effect and I will oblige you with more information as to the smooth take off and conclusion of this once in a lifetimeopportunity.Thanks.Your sincerely, Dr.Igho Richard. ____________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
