FROM THE DESK OF DR. TUNDE RENI
47 HILTON AVENUE,
VICTORIAL ISLAND,
LAGOS NIGERIA.

Dear Mr. Joeseph Suzmaki,

I am a director in the foreign affairs department of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC). I got your e-mail during a personal research on the Internet and wish to use this opportunity to notify you of the existence of a certain amount we wish to transfer overseas for the purpose of investments and importation of goods from your country.

In May 2001, a contract of sixty-six million United States dollars ($66,000,000) was awarded to a foreign company by my ministry. The contract was supply, erection and system optimization of supper polyore 200,000-bpsd, system optimization of 280,000-monax axial plants and the computerization of conveyor belt for our Kaduna refinery. With only the consent of the head of the contract evaluation department, I over invoiced the contract value by thirty four million United States dollars ($34,000,000).

The contract has been completed long ago and the foreign company has fully paid off. But in the office files and paper work, the company is still owed USD $34M representing the over invoiced amount. Because this amount is derived from the award and execution of a foreign contract, there is no way the money can be paid locally. That is why I contacted you, so that we can do the project together for our mutual benefit. We have concluded every necessary arrangement to transfer this amount to a foreign account as the final phase payment for the said contract. What we need is your bank account into which we can deposit the money and after we shall come over there to share the money with you.

We sincerely need an honest person to work with and have agreed to share the money in the following percentages, 70% will be for us who will effect the transfer and 30% will be for you whose account is used to secure the funds. There is no risk involvement because applications will be made to the concerned Federal ministries and parastatal with official approvals given by the Federal government before the Central Bank of Nigeria will be officially empowered to wire the funds to your account by telegraphic transfer.

If you are interested, contact me by e-mail at indicating your full name or company name and address. Your direct telephone and fax numbers. The name and address of the bank you would like us to deposit the money with, the telephone and fax numbers of the bank, your account number, etc. Everything has been arranged and I will send more information about the business transaction to you as soon as I hear from you. For obvious reasons, please keep this proposal top secret and highly confidential.

Kind regards,

Dr. Tunde Reni

Say it ain't so, Joe!

It's true, I have just been informed that my second goldfish, Parker, has passed on. He will join Baggy in fish heaven. Parker was my absolute favorite! He would always go and kiss the glass when I put my finger near the fish bowl. Baggy wasn't so great. Always seemed to be hurt. usually one if his fins. He was an alright fish, but tried to push Parker around out of the spotlight. It's as if he knew Parker was my favorite. I'm wondering if I should inform Staci of Parker's passing. She was my girlfriend when I got the fish. They were ours, together.

What's up! This is Joe, and I just wanted to say hi. Today was fun. Right now I'm on vacation in Seattle and I saw nothing but rain. But I did have some coffee, so that made it worth while. Nothing better than coffee in Seattle. It just feels right.
