Subject: WAITING FOR YOUR RESPONSE
EUROPEAN UNION CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT
PROJECT.
OUAGA,
BURKINA FASO.in West Africa.
Dear Friend,
I am Mr Okano Aboumane Ahmed . The Chairman, Contract Awarding Committee
of the EUROPEAN CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT PROJECT( ECCP) in BURKINA FASO
West Africa.i got your contact from the internet, when I was searching
for a reliable, honest and trust worthy person to entrust this business
with. I was simply inspired and motivated to pick your contact from the
directory. After discussing my view and your profile with my colleagues,
they were very much satisfied and decided to contact you immediately for
this mutual business relationship.
We wish to transfer the sum of USD$30,000,000.00 (Thirty million United
States Dollars only.) into your personal or company's bank account. This
fund was a residue of the over invoiced contract bills awarded by us for
the supply of equiment,hard/soft wares,
pharmaceuticals/medical items relating to constructing tool's, light and
heavy duty vehicles, apparels and other administrative logistics etc for
the Burkina Faso Projects. This DEAL was deliberately hatched out and
carefully protected with all the attendant loop holes sealed off.
As the Chairman of CAC, I have the cooperation and mandate of the
Financial Director and the Secretary of the Organisation. We arranged
and over invoiced the contract funds supplied by different companies
from different countries. It was our consensus to seek the assistance of
a willing foreigner to provide us with the facilities to transfer this
money out of Burkina Faso. This is borne out of our belief in the
non-stable and sporous political nature of this sub-region.
The original contractors have been duly paid by the Bank of Africa
Ouaga-Burkina-Faso in West Africa.(Bank of Africa, Ouaga-Burkina-Faso in
West Africa).our bankers Bank - Bank of Africa. This balance is
suspended in the escrow accounts awaiting claims by any foreign company
of our choice. We intend to pay out this fund NOW as the organization is
winding up its activities and the coast has been achieved. Based on the
laws and ethics of employment, we as civil servants working under this
organization, are not allowed to operate a foreign account.
This is the more reason why we needed your assistance to provide an
account that can sustain this fund for safe keeping and our future
investment with your comprehensive advise, assistance and partnership in
your country.It is however agreed, as the account owner in this deal to
allow you 30% of the entire sum as compensation, 60% will be held on
trust for us while 10% will be used to defray any incidental charges and
cost during the course of the transaction. This transaction will be
successfully concluded within 14 days if you accord us your unalloyed
and due cooperation. You should provide the followings;
YOUR COMPANY'S NAME WITH COMPLETE ADDRESS,
TEL AND FAX NUMBERS. (if available)
THE NAME OF YOUR BANK,
ITS ADDRESS WITH TEL,
FAX AND TELEX NUMBERS AND YOUR THE ACCOUNT NUMBER.
THE COMPLETE MAILING ADDRESS OF THE BENEFICIARY WITH TELEPHONE AND FAX
NUMBERS.
Upon the receipt of this information, the documents and approval with
the texts will be sent to you for confirmation and then forwarded to the
organization for ratification and subsequent payment. As with the case
of all organized (sensitive) and conspired DEALS, we solicit for your
unreserved confidentiality and utmost secret in this business. We hope
to retire peacefully and lead a honourable business life afterwards.
There are no risks involved regards in this business. I sugest you reply
me back for more intimate and detailed discussions.
Yours Faithfully.
Mr Okano Aboumane Ahmed
