Dear friend
My name are Mark Benson a British citizen working as (Audit General) with the Nigeria High
Commission for petroleum funds in United Kingdom. I would respectfully request that you keep the
contents of this mail confidential and respect the integrity of the information you come by as a result
of this mail. I contacted you independently based on some money that floated into the Nigerian
Government Treasury due to the recent boom in the international oil market. The Federal Government
of Nigeria budgeted $62.5 per barrel in last year budget, but the price was changed in the
international oil market where a barrel was sold at $80. We recorded excess gain, and all these could
not be accounted for, hence some executive members in the petroleum ministry bargain with me to
take away the sum of $45,000,000.00, (Forty Five Million United States Dollars to an offshore
account of a foreign national or company.
Note that we are not contacting you because we cannot do this business on our own, but because
we are not allowed to operate foreign accounts as civil servants, that is why we are looking for a
foreigner we can use and knowing fully well as a foreign person, the movement of the funds will
raise no doubt that is why we have decided to contact you. If you are interested to assist us, please
let me have the bellow information so that I can furnish you with further details on the modalities of
the funds. Your name, Address, Telephone number and Fax numbers. We urge you to keep this
matter to your self, as we do not want it to be exposed in order not to jeopardize our chances of
succeeding and your security will be taking care off. If you are interested in this transaction, send
me an email to ( markbeson50@yahoo.com.hk ) for further clarifications.
Thanks for your time,
Mark Benson
