Dear Friend,
I am a project manager with the Federal Ministry of Works & Housing
(FMW&H).
I obtained your email from the internet, while searching for a
reliable
person, who could assist us in receiving cash gift from contractors
awarded
contracts executed under the current budgetary allocation for
Niger Delta Development Commission( NDDC)
http://www.usafricaonline.com/nigerdelta.obj.html,
These
bills had been approved for payment by the concerned ministry. The
contracts
had been executed and commissioned. What we are about to receive now,
is
a promised cash gift from the contractors whom we have helped during
the
process of obtaining the contracts and in the processing of their
payments.
On our part, all modalities had been worked out in ensuring a smooth
conclusion
of the transfer to you within the next twenty one days. All I want
from
you is your details to enable these foreign contractors forward the
cash
gift to you on our behalf, because as government officials we cannot
collect
these cash gift directly from them, neither are we allowed by law to
operate/run
a foreign accounts.
If you are trustworthy and can assist me in receiving these cash
gift, I
will like you to provide immediately to me, your full names, address,
and
telephone number.
Please note that there will be no financial obligation required from
you
and this transaction is risk free. For each cash you receive on our
behalf,
you will be entitled to 10% of that sum. As soon as you indicate your
interest,
further instructions will be passed on to you on the procedure that
we will
follow in accomplishing this deal.
Kindly reach me immediately via my confidential e-mail furnishing me
with
your details as stated above. Looking forward to hearing from you.
Best regards,
DR FRED WILLIAMS
