If the gyrations of the Stock Market have you down, here are some surefire ways to earn a quick buck. Ian's work e-mail somehow got onto a list that is spreading around Africa. So many of these offers to expatriate a few dollars have turned up, that we figured they had to be our grand sponsor for ClarkeFest 2001. We've
dubbed the crowd that is sending these missives "Pat Mobutu" pat8@africana.com on 01/07/2001 09:45:40 PM To: IClarke WeatherMarkets

Attn:President/Ceo. STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL BUSINESS PROPOSAL RE: TRANSFER OF US$21.5 MILLION (TWENTY ONE MILLION, FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND US DOLLARS ONLY). I know this email will reach you as a surprise, but need not to worry as we are using the only secured and confidential medium available to seek for foreign assistance/partnership in a business transaction which is of mutual benefit. 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 of 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 Central Bank of Nigeria(CBN)into any Overseas Account which we expect you to provide for us. SHARE: - For providing the account where we shall remit the money into,you will be entitled to 30% of the money, 60% will be for me and my partners while 10% has been mapped out from the total sum to cover any upfront or out of pocket expenses that may be incurred by you and I during the course of this transfer,both locally and international expenses. It may interest you to know that a similar transaction was carried out with one MR.PATRIC MILLER,President of Crane International Trading Corp. of 153 East 57th St., 28th floor, NY 10022, TEL:(212)-308-7788 AND TELEX: 6731689. The deal was concluded and all covering documents were forwarded to MR. MILLER to authenticate the claim. Once the funds were transferred,MR.MILLER presented his Bank with all the legal documents and remitted the whole funds to another Bank Account and disappeared completely. My colleagues were shattered, as such opportunities do not come all the time. I would require
the following: 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 Auditing all Federal Government owned Parastatals. Please contact me immediately through my telephone and fax numbers. Please just dial your country international access code and then followed by my tel/fax numbers as written above, 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. But where you are interested,send the required documents aforementioned herein through my telephone number as time is of the essence in this business. I wait in anticipation of your fullest co-operation. Yours faithfully,
