From: (sent from abused email account)
Date: Mon, 17 Nov 2008 02:14:09 +0100
Subject: From Agnes Clifford
From: Mrs. Agnes R. Clifford
Trent House, Arden Road,
London, United Kingdom.
I am Agnes R. Clifford, an Engineer with Exxon Mobil in London
http://www.exxonmobil.co.uk). I got your contact address from an associate
working with the British Export Promotion Council.
I and my colleagues are officials in charge of offshore remittance in this
establishment. We are seeking your assistance to transfer of [GBP
£4,000,000.00] FOUR MILLION POUNDS STERLING] to your account for further
private investment.
Please note that the nature of your job/business does not matter and you
will be better informed when I hear from you. This amount accrued from an
over-invoiced contract amount for the construction of an Oil Refinery
Sub-stations in east London in 2005 to expatriate companies. The contract
was originally valued for One Hundred and Twenty Seven Million Pounds
Sterling (£127,000,000.00), but we manipulated the figure to read One
Hundred and Thirty One Million Pound Sterling (£131,000,000.00). The extra
£4,000,000.00 is what we want to transfer to your account for our own
personal use.
This contract has been completely executed and the original contractors have
been paid all their contract bills less this £4,000,000.00 for your
assistance, we have agreed to remunerate you with 30% because it is
impossible for us to claim the amount here in London without foreign
collaboration. 5% has been mapped out for any miscellaneous expenses
incurred by either party during this business, and 65% for my colleagues and
myself.
All modalities to effect the payment and subsequent transfer of this money
have been worked out. This transaction is 100% risk free but requires 100
percent confidentiality. This is a golden opportunity, which must not be
allowed to slip out of any careless acts and utterances. We chose you for
this transaction because we believe that good friends can be discovered and
businesses such as this cannot be realized without trust. You can be rest
assured that your security has been considered before you were contacted.
I will let you have the details in my next message, but in summary, the fund
would be paid to you from the financial institution where it is presently
deposited as soon as the filing and documentation process is concluded in
your name.
Upon the receipt of this message, feel free to send to me the following to
enable us start the process:
(1) Your Full Name
(2) Complete Address
(3) Telephone and Fax Numbers
Thanks and best regards in anticipation of your response.
Best Regards,
Agnes R. Clifford.
