Dear Sir,
REQUEST FOR INVESTMENT ADVICE/ASSISTANCE WITH THIS SUM
$31M
Forgive my indignation if this message comes to you as a surprise and if it might offend you without your prior consent and writing through this channel.
I Am ENGR kakah Diou,Chairman, Contract Awarding Committee.
I got your information in a Internet business directory
when I was searching for a reiable,honest and trustworthy person to entrust this business with.I was simply inspired and motivated to pick your contact from the many names and lists in the directory.
After discussing my view and your profile with my colleagues,they were very much satisfied and decided to contact you immediately for this mutual business relationship.We wish to transfer the sum of SD31,000,000.00 (THIRTY ONE Million United States Dollars only.)into your personal or company`s bank account.
This fund was a residue of the over invoiced contract bills awarded by us for the BUILDING OF OUR NEW INTERNATIONAL STARDUM AND RE-CONSTRUCTION OF OUR RAILWAYS ROADS AND OTHER LOGISTICS.
This DEAL was deliberately hatched out and carefully protected with all the attendant lope holes sealed off.As the Chairman of CAC,I have the cooperation and mandate of the Financial Director and the Secretary of the Organisation.We arranged and over invoiced the contract funds supplied by different companies from different countries during the crisis of the coming in
of our new president who is now on seat today. It was our consensus to seek the assistance of a willing foreigner to provide us with the facilities to transfer this money out of the Eco Bank of Nigeria to
his or her account,This is borne out of our beleif in the non-stable and politial nature of this sub-region.
The original contractors have been duely paid by the (Central Bank of the West African States)This balance is suspended in the escrow accounts of the United Bank for Africa Plc.awaiting claims by any foreign company of our choice.We intend to pay out this fund NOW since the contract has been completed.
Based on the laws and ethics of employment,we as civil servants working under this organisation, are not allowed to operate a foreign account.This is the more reason why we needed your assistance to provide an account that can sustain this fund for safe keeping
and our future investment with your comprehensive advise,assistance and partnership in your country.
It is however agreed,as the account owner in this deal to map out 20% percentage for you,while 10% will be mapped out to defray any incidental charges and cost during the conclusion of this transaction And 70% for we.
This transaction will be successfully concluded within 7 days if you accord us your unalloyed an due cooperation.You should provide the followings;
YOUR COMPANY`S NAME WITH COMPLETE ADDRESS,TEL AND FAX NUMBERS.
THE COMPLETE MAILING ADRRESS OF THE BENEFICIARY
WITH TELEPHONE AND FAX NUMBERS.
A NEW ACCOUNT OF YOUR CHOICE TO LODGE IN THE MONEY.
Upon the receipt of this informations,the documents and approval with the texts will be sent to you for confirmaton and then forwarded to the organisation for ratification and subsequent payment of the funds to your account.
As with the case of all organised (sensitive)and conspired DEALS,we solicit for your unreserved confidentiality and utmost secret in this business. We hope to retire peacefully and lead a honourable business life afterwards.There are no risks involved.
Please for the sake of secret and confidentiality in this business,do forward all your response to this private email tonyeke20@yahoo.ca and i will revert back to you immediately.
Awaiting hearing from you soon.
With regards.
ENGR Kakah DIOU.
