Subject: PLS IT IS URGENT
FROM THE OFFICE OFTHE ACCOUNTS DEPT PETROLEUM TRUST FUND
{PTF} PLOT 34/40 DENVILLA NEW HEAVEN, VICTORIA ISLAND.
Compliments of the season, permit me to introduce myself,I am mr jack bush of the
account department of the petroleum {special} trust fund {PTF} an
institution established by the federal government to manage the
proceeds from the sale of petroleum products as well as the application
of the funds in contracts execution.
My colleages and I are inclined to contact you in view of a high level business {deal} that we want to strike with you, it is quite natural to be suprised when some body you do not know contacts you especially when it comes to a business of this
type. The choice of picking you for the deal is based on satisfactory
enquiries and reports that we gathered about your person,The sourse of
our information shall be disclosed toyou in the coures of this
transaction.
The deal stems from an over-valued invoice of a contract
executed in our institution P.T.F for the up-grading of facilities in
our refineries, The actual contract valued was USD$40.5 Milion, but at
the point of approval, it was deliberately inflated to USD$60.8
Million,which was approved as such, the contract has since been
executed and the original German contractor has been paid the actual
contract value of USD$40.5 Million which is the only money due to
him,
The over-valued sum of USD$20.3 Million still hanging in our
system unclaimed.This is the deal and this is where we want you to
come in, as appointees within the system,we have since perfected
arrangement through which the fund{USD$20.3 Million} can be
transferred out.How ever, the only way this can be done successfully
is with the collaboration of an oversea partner, it has to be so, since
it is a foreign denominated contract the destination of the fund must
be an oversea account and we the top officials of the institution are
not permitted to operate a foreign account so to avoid suspicion of
any sort.
Thus the only condition under which the deal will be
prosecuted is for it to be kept in absolute secretcy and
confidentiality.I hope that you will give us this all-important
guarantee otherwise there will be no need of starting in the first place, But if the secrecy can be kept by you, then i"ll require you to
provide us with the following information to enable us obtain the
necessary approvals and authourization for the transfer of the fund.
1. Your private telephone number.
2. Your name in full.
This will be used to facilitate the transaction.Since it is a deal, we intend all
the parties involved to have commensurate share of the fund when it
gets to your account.this our hope that it is something that would be
finally agreed upon as we get started for now we proposed as follows;
1.We the officials 75%
2.Account owner 25%In conclusion, as we go on
in the transaction you will also have to advice us on the type of
investment in your country, that we could put our own share into, as we do not intend to bring back our own entire share to our country. Your early response will be highly
appreciated.
Yours Sincerely,
mr
jack bush..
