Subject: TRANSCTION.
My Dear,
I got your mail address in your profile, I want to bring you into a business that will fetch us a deal worth of ($26.5m USD), Twenty-Six Million, Five Hundred Thousand Dollars. if only you will be honest and make it remain confidential. It is all about squiring the above mention amount, that I discovered as an outstanding sum, that was miscalculated and included as part payment to our foreign contractor's payment. I was appointed the director in charge of this payment. as this opportunity came up, I immediately have decided to make good use of it, to carry out this fund
into a foreign account, as we here in the ministry are not allowed to operate foreign account, hence I seek your assistance.
I will invest this fund in real estate development and I don't know if you know much about it. be assured that every modalities for the conclusion of this transfer has been insured what i need from you is your genuine cooperation, this transaction is not intentional for you but for my old good friend but unfortunately his where about is not known, so I decided to offer you this business opportunity which i know that certainly it must be of mutual benefit to you as we conclude this transaction . What i need from you now is your postal address and personal phone and fax no. so that i will forward it to my lawyer who will secure all necessary approval documents with change of ownership of this fund consignment to your name as the beneficiary. As soon as the lawyer perfects the documentations to your name, he will submit it to the security company where this fund was deposited and the company will invite you to come for the signing and collection of your consignmen!
t. My reason of involving you in this transaction is that it requires the assistance of a foreign partner who will stand as my beneficiary and i want to invest this fund in your country. This fund was as a result of two of our senior staff who want to enrich themselves but unfortunately they were involved in a plane crash and they died, i was appointed the new auditor and accountant general of the ministry and I discovered this whooping amount of ($26.5m).I just want to use my position to make sure that I used this fund on my personal investment and as I discovered this fund I immediately make sure that this fund was deposited with the security company here in Dubai U.A.E. as a family valuables for security reason, even the security company did not know that the contents of the consignment was money , just for security reasons. I assure you of 100% risk free upon the receives of your postal address which my lawyer will use to effect the release of !
this fund consignment to you . Please i need your urgent response fo
r the speedy conclusion of this transaction.
Thanks and extend my greetings to your family.
MR.FRANK JOLLY.
