ASSISTANCE REQUIRED FOR ACQUISITION OF REAL ESTATES.

Dear sir,

I write to inform you of my desire to acquire estates or landed
properties in your country on behalf of the Director of Contracts and
Finance Allocation of the Federal Ministry of works and Housing in
Nigeria.

Considering his very strategic and influential position, he would want
the transaction to be as strictly confidential as possible. He further
requires his identity to remain undisclosed at least for now, until the
completion of the transaction. Hence our desire to have an overseas
agent.

I have therefore been directed to inquire if you would agree to act as
our overseas agent in order to actualise this transaction.

The deal in brief is that the funds with which to carry out our proposed
investments in your country is presently in a coded/ secured account
with the Nigerian Apex Bank and we need your assistance to transfer the
funds to your country or any safe account outside your country in a
convenient bank account that will be provided by you before we can put
the funds into use. For this you shall be considered to have executed a
contract for the Ministry.

The contract sum of which shall run into US$15.5Million of which your
share shall be 30%, if you agree to be our overseas agent. Your area of
specialisation does not matter in this transaction, all that is required
of you is a safe account and your willingness to assist us acquire real
estates in your country.

As soon as payment is effected and the amount mentioned above is
successfully transferred into your account, we intend to use our own
share in acquiring some estates abroad. For this too, you shall serve as
our agent .

It might interest you to note that last year, a similar transaction was
carried out with one MR. CHIENCHEN YU of Taiwan, but after securing the
payment approvals, and payment effected, MR.CHIENCHEN YU changed his
numbers and addresses, and was no where to be found on our getting to
Taiwan. That was how we lost US$7.5Million. So this time around , I will
be with you before the remmittance is made into your provided account to
avoid a re-occurrence and allow trust to play a very minimal role until
performance is achieved.

You are requested to communicate your acceptance or otherwise of this
proposal, through my private e-mail account as it appears, after which
we shall discuss in details the modalities for seeing this transaction
through.

If however, you are not disposed to assist, kindly delete/detroy this
letter in view of the confidentiality of the proposed transaction and
interest of personalities involved.

Thank you in anticipation of your co-operation.

Your's sincerely,

Chief Oyinbolowo Eko.
