Dear Friend,
Re: Halliburtons & 180 million dollars Bribe scandal
This Day Sunday newspaper, October 24 2004
www.thisdayonline.com.
My name is John Bolton 52 from the Upper Volta region of Ghana west Africa
a etroleum engineer and runs a fairly successful consultancy in oil and
gas.
Sometimes in 1991 my office bided to participate in the consultancy for
the Nigerian liquefied gas project. But unfortunately my company could not
meet the final list when the bidders were finally short-listed. But because
of my very close personal relationship with a top Nigerian official in NNPC
(the Nigerian supervising ministry) I was unofficially appointed as compensation
to run some vital errands between LNG board members. NNPC the listed consultant
and all other parties involved in the project and to God be the glory, I
delivered properly without any problem.
Two years ago when it became obvious that there was going to be a probe
as to all the money that changed hands ,my top government official friends
called me seeking my cooperation in moving his 806 million dollars out of
Ghana where it was originally kept in bonds ,shares stocks cash etc. Problem
actually started when not so long ago, a court in France started to investigate
Halliburton and company participation in the LNG bribe scandal.
Naturally my friend and I panicked and through another mutual friend of
ours we sometimes two months ago August 2004 successfully move 50 million
dollars to a security company in London .Our problem now is we are looking
for a reliable God fearing person who has an account that can accommodate
the money at an agreed terms memorandum of understanding that who ever receives
the money in his account takes 25 % with another 5% reserved for expenses
and handling charges while we later give further directions as to what
to do or where to move the rest .If you are interested please signify with
your interest after which we can introduce to you the security company in
London .
Meanwhile I suggest you visit thisday newspaper website quoted above
Please treat as urgent and with Trust secrecy.
John Bolton
