Subject: Business Proposal From Mr Pedro
STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL
Dearest Friend,
I plead for your indulgiance if this messive of mine comes to you as a surprise.
I am Mr Pedro and i used to be the Managing Director Of CrosswordContinentals SARL.
We are into major contracts with the Government of The Republic of TOGO. On the 21th of December 2006, My President(a Japanese citizen) was involved in a ghastly motor accident in Accra Ghana on his way to the Accra International Airport while he was about to travel to Japan for Christmas holidays and unfortunately he died along with his entire family.
As the managing director, all the company banking documents was in my perusal. Couple of weeks ago,relatives of my president obtained a court order
restraining any of his workers from making any withdrawals from our companies account.
Meanwhile, I thank God that I had the contract file worth eight million three hundred thousand united states million(US$8,300.000.00) executed with the CIMTOGO which is owned by the Togolaise government and the payment which was about to be made before the unfortunate death of my President was put on hold up till this very moment as a result of my boss's death and i have been waiting for this kind of oppurtunity to arise.
As the second in command to my president in his company before his death, The Government invited me last week to endorse the payment voucher for the said amount($8.3m).
As it stands now, all is set to release this money($8.3m) to Crossword Continentals account and I have instructed the paying bank to stay action on the release of the money into the Crossword Continentals account pending till when I will produce another account where the money will be transferred into.
Now my good friend, i would like you to provide an account where the amount will be transferred into. I don't want to keep this money in my private account
because it will raise some questions that will lead me to jail, that is the most reason why a foreign account is needed to receiving the money. More, I intend to resign and proceed to your country where I will use my share of the money to establish any viable and benefiting business you may introduce me into . Please note that after the successful transfer of the money you will part away with 30% of the total money.
You should urgently respond to this business proposal.
Expecting to receiving your impressive response as
soon as possible.
Best Regards,
Mr Pedro.
