Dear Sir:

I have been requested by the UAE National Petroleum Company to contact you for assistance in resolving a matter. The UAE National Petroleum Company has recently concluded a large number of contracts for oil exploration in the sub-Sahara region. The contracts have immediately produced moneys equaling US$40,000,000.00 The UAE National Petroleum Company is desirous of oil exploration in other parts of the world, however, because of certain regulations IN Arab World presently, it is unable to move these funds to another region.

You assistance is requested as a non-UAE citizen to assist the UAE National Petroleum Company, and also the Central Bank of UAE, in moving these funds out of UAE. If the funds can be transferred to your name, in your United States account, then you can forward the funds as directed by the UAE National Petroleum Company. In exchange for your accommodating services, the UAE National Petroleum Company would agree to allow you to retain 10%, or US$4 million of this amount.

However, to be a legitimate transferee of these moneys according to UAE law, you must presently be a depositor of at least US$100,000 in any UAE banks which is regulated by the Central Bank of UAE.

If it will be possible for you to assist us, we would be most grateful. We suggest that you meet with us in person in Dubai, and that during your visit I introduce you to the representatives of the UAE National Petroleum Company, as well as with certain officials of the Central Bank of UAE.

Please call me at your earliest convenience a, Time is of the essence in this matter; very quickly the UAE Government will realize that the Central Bank is maintaining this amount on deposit, and attempt to levy certain depository taxes on it.
