Attn: The Beneficiary,
My name is Mr. Steve Peters the Chairman, Foreign Debt Reconciliation Dept. I know you must be surprised at this development but I choose to tell you the truth because of my sincere wish to treat every man, as I would expect to be treated.
After thorough investigation on contract payment file as directed by the presidency, I discovered that it will take a long process for your money to be released due to some irregularities detected in your file. During our investigation, I found out that you have spent so much money in trying to realize your contract payment, which did not even reflect in your file, but I have an offer, which will at least help your financial stand until you receive your contract payment. This offer is an amount from federal government leftover. It is a total sum of US$25,000.000 (Twenty-five Million United States Dollars only), which will be shared between you and I in the ratio of 50%-50%.
This amount is not from your contract sum or has any thing related to your contract sum, rather it is a left over from the amount used in paying local contractors and it is directly under my custody. I am offering you this because I have seen that your contract fund will not be released on time until all the anomalies are rectified and also because you are a government contractor. The only things needed for this US$25million to be transferred into your account under 48 hours are as follows:
a
1. A new bank account detail.
2. The bank account will be normalized in the High Court for payment approval.
3. Your private telephone number.
For your information, this is not a contract payment. Therefore there will be no bureaucracy or misfortune. Please note that if you are willing to make this deal with me, you should contact me immediately on the above email: stevexxpeters@jubii.dk, and furnishing me with your new account. Be informed that this transaction will take us just 48 hours to accomplish.
Note: All our communication for now must be authenticated/strictly by email this is to avoid phone interceptions as I would like this business deal to be confidential.
Yours truly,
Mr. Steve Peters
