Subject: Confidential
Department of Mineral Resources,
Abidjan,Republic of Cote D'Ivoire,
Hello!
It is my great pleasure to write you this letter on behalf of my colleagues. Your
information was given to me by a member of the Cote D' Ivoirean delegation that
took a trip to overseas countries for bilateral conference talks to encourage
foreign investors. I have decided to seek a confidential co-operation with you in
the execution of the deal hereunder for the benefit of all parties and hope you will
keep it confidential because of the nature of this business.Within the Department
of Minerals & Energy where I work as a Director of Audit and Project
Implementation and with the co-operation of three other top officials, we have in
our possession an overdue payment in US Dollar funds. The said funds represent
certain percentage of the total contract value executed on behalf of my
Department by a foreign contracting firm, which we the officials over-invoiced to
the amount of US$28.500,000.00 (Twenty Eight Million Five Hundred Thousand US
Dollars). Though the actual contract cost has been paid to the original contractor,
leaving the excess balance unclaimed.Since the present Government is
determined to pay all foreign contractor's debts owed in order to maintain good
relationship with foreign governments and non-governmental gencies. We intend
to include our bills for approvals with the Department of Finance and the Contracts
Award and Payments Committee. So we are seeking your assistance to front as
beneficiary of the unclaimed funds, since we are not allowed to operate foreign
accounts. Details and change of beneficiary information upon application for
claim to reflect payment and approvals will be secured on behalf of you/your
company.I have the authority of my partners involved to propose that should you
be willing to assist us in this transaction your share as compensation will be so
negotiated and agreed upon by both you and we on this side, before further
details will change hands to enhance our primary objective. The mode of sharing
after a successful transfer of the money into your account, shall be 70% to
my colleagues and I, for the role you will be expected to play in this deal, we
have agreed to give you 25% of the total sum and 5% for the expenses we are
going to encounter by the two parties at the course of this transaction.The
business is completely safe and secure, provided you treat it with utmost
confidentiality. It does not matter whether you/your company does contract
projects as a transfer of powers will be secured in favor of you/your company to
settle any legality. Also, your area of specialization is not a hindrance to the
successful execution of this transaction. I have reposed my confidence
in you and hope that you will not disappoint us.I expect your urgent response to
enable us conclude this transaction urgently without any hitch. Kindly
notify me via my email for further details upon your acceptance of this
proposal.
Thanks for your co-operation.
Regards
Mr. Uzegz Nso
