Dear Friend,
REQUEST FOR URGENT BUSINESS ASSISTANCE
I decided to contact you for your assistance in standing as a beneficiary
to the sum of (US21.5M) Thirty Million, Five Hundred Thousand United States
Dollars Only. First, let me start by introducing myself as Wilson Matulic
the only sone of Late Zarko Matulic who was a Civil Engineer and I am presently
in one of the villages outside Manila.
THE PROPOSAL
After his detention, I discovered that he had some funds in a dollar account
which amounted to the sum of US$21.5M with a BANK in cote d'Ivoire.
This fund emanated as a result of an over-invoiced contract which he executed
with the Government of Phillipines. Though I assisted him in getting this
contract but I never knew that it was over-invoiced by him.
I am afraid that the government of Phillipines might start to on contracts
awarded from 1990 to date.If they got to know about the undone contract
they will confiscate his account and seize his assets here in Cote d'Ivoire
and this will definately affect mine and my children. I want your assistance
me in contacting the bank in Cote d'Ivoire as my late Father's foriegn partner
for my late Father deposited this fund onward transfer to a foriegn partner
for investment purposes. It be wired into your account directly without
any hitch. As soon as the fund gets to your account, you are expected to
move it immediately into another personal bank account in your country.
I will see to it that the account is not traced from Cote d'Ivoire for the
transfer was made to Cote d'Ivoire through a bank here in Phillipines. As
soon as you have confirmed the fund into your account, I will come to your
country to discuss on business investments.
SHARING PERCENTAGE
For your assistance, I am offering you 20% of the principal sum. However,
you have to assure me and also be ready to go into agreement with me that
you will not elope with my fund.
If you agree to my terms, kindly as a matter of urgency send me an email.
I would not WANT you to call me on phone or send a fax to me. All correspondence
must be by above mail address.
Please I do not need to remind you of the need for absolute
Confidentiality if this transaction must succeed. YOU MUST NOT RESPONSE
TO ME! If you do not feel comfortable with this transaction, do not hesitate
to discontinue. For l wait your readiness response in handling this transaction
to enable me send you details of the deposited fund and the bank in coted'Ivoire
contacts.
Thanks for your anticipated co-operation and my regards to your family.
Yours faithfully,
Wilson Matulic
