This was received by about 300 Rotary International Members. For some strange reason, they didn't leap on it. The e-mail was from Usman Bello - or is it Bako. Who knows. Once again the mysterious Mr. Patrice Miller, unscrupulous American businessman, is cited as cheating Usman in a similar previous transaction - and, as Usman says, these opportunities don't come every day!

From: usman bello usmanbako@yahoo.com To: (300 Rotary International Members) Sent: Friday, October 29, 1999 9:12 PM Subject: URGENT & CONFIDENTIAL From:Dr.Usman Bako Tel/Fax:234-1-2646201 Lagos-Nigeria. Attn: THE PRESIDENT/CEO. STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL BUSINESS PROPOSAL RE: TRANSFER OF US$21.5 MILLION (TWENTY ONE MILLION, FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND US DOLLARS ONLY). I am a member of the Federal Government of Nigeria Contract Award and Monitoring Committee in the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) Sometime ago, a contract was awarded to a foreign firm in NNPC by my Committee. This contract was over invoiced to the tune of US$21.5M. U. S. Dollars. This was done deliberately. The over- invoicing was a deal by my committee to benefit from the project. We now want to transfer this money which is in a suspense Account with NNPC into any Overseas Account which we expect you to provide for us.

I would require the following: -
1. One (1) blank copy of your company letterhead duly signed and stamped underneath. We have strong reliable connections and contacts at the Central Bank of Nigeria, as well as the Federal Ministry of Finance and we have no doubt that all the money will be released and transferred if we get the necessary foreign partner to assist us in this deal. Therefore, when the business is successfully concluded we shall through our same connections withdraw all documents used from all the concerned Government Ministries for 100% security. We are ordinary civil servants and we will not want to miss this once in a lifetime opportunity to get rich. We want this money to be transferred to the overseas Accounts for us, before the present Democratic Government starts Audditting all Federal Government owned Parastatals. Please contact me immediately through my telefax number whether or not you are interested in this deal. If you are not, it will enable me scout for another foreign partner to carry out this deal. [ yeah, otherwise he'll just be sitting frozen by the phone, waiting for you. ] But where you are interested, send the required documents aforementioned herein through my above tel/fax number, as time is of the essence in this business. I wait in anticipation of your fullest co-operation. Yours faithfully,Dr. Usman Bako Tel/Fax: 234-1-2646201
