My Dearest, President/ Managing Director.
Urgent/ Confidential Transfer Of Funds.
I am Mrs. Lynn Denise a director of the contracts award and review
Department with the Liberia Petroleum Refining Company. (LPRC). I am
contacting you on this business of transferring the sum of Fourty Three
Million United States Dollars ($43M)) into a safe foreign account and
the need is very urgent.
I got your contact from your country's business Directory and it is with
business trust that made me to contact you on this matter. I write to
solicit for your assistance to receive this money on my behalf. A
consortium of foreign contractors generated this money from an over
invoice contract sum for contracts that were executed in my corporation
(LPRC). I am contacting you to assist me transfer and receive this money
because as a civil servant, I am not permitted to own foreign accounts
due to civil service code of conduct here in country Liberia. Also the
fund must be transferred abroad because foreign contractor executed the
contracts originally. After the transfer is done, 20% of this sum would
be for you as compensation for your assistance in transferring this
money, 5% would be used to reimburse for the expenses made during the
processing of the transfer by both parties, while 75% is for me.
I will arrange to travel to meet with you immediately after the
successful conclusion of the transfer; the 75% share of mine will be
used for investment overseas. If you are interested I will require your
banking information as mentioned below:
1. Name to be used as the beneficiary and beneficiary's address
2. Your private and confidential telephone and fax number (s)
3. Your bank name, bank address, bank telephone and fax number(s)
4. Or if you are comfortable with providing your existing account, you
can send that within the shortest possible time, or you confidentially
open an entirely new (virgin) account for the transaction.
I hope to conclude this business within the next 21 working days.
Looking forward to your anticipated and urgent positive response. Please
note that because of the civil war currently going on in my country, it
would be best to respond by my email above since it may be difficult to
contact me by phone. I encourage you to maintain absolute
confidentiality over this transaction for our mutual benefit.
Please contact me through this email address{[lynndenise@linuxmail.org]
N.B
Note that you will send me your country identification and i will send
mine too for self identification should in case after the trasaction,
that will allow me note you in your country airport.
Yours Sicerely,
Mrs. Lynn Denise Eccles
