ATT
ACCOUNT PROVISION FOR USDM. 10.5M
Forgive my indignation if this message comes to you as
a surprise and if it
might offend you without your prior consent and
writing through this
channel.
I am Dr.Hanset Torger Etim,The Chairman,Contract
Awarding Committee of the
ECONOMIC COMMUNITY OF WEST AFRICAN STATES (
ECOWAS)with Headquarters in
Lome, Togo.I got your information in a business
directory from the Togolaise
Chamber of Commerce and Industries when I was
searching for a
reliable,honest and trustworthy person to entrust this
business with.I was
simply inspired and motivated to pick your contact
from the many names and
lists in 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
USD10.500,000.00 (Ten
Million Five hundred thousand 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 ammunitions,hard/soft
wares,phamaceauticals/medical
items,light and heavy duty vehicles, apparals and
other administrative
logistics etc for the ECOMOG in Sierria-Leone and
Liberia during the Peace
Keeping Projects.
This DEAL was deliberately hatched out and carefully
protected with all the
attendant lope 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 during
the crisis.
It was our consensus to seek the assistance of a
willing foreigner to
provide us with the facilities to transfer this money
out of West
Africa.This is borne out of our beleif in the
non-stable and sporous
political nature of this sub-region.
The original contractors have been duely paid by the
Banque Centrale Des
Etats De L`Afrique De L`Ouest(Central Bank of the West
African States)
through our bankers-Societe Generale Banque. 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 organisation is
winding up its
activities since the aim of returning PEACE to the
countries and the coast
has been achieved.Based on the laws and ethics of
employment,we as civil
servants working under this organisation, 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,65% will be held on trust
for us while 5% will
beused 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 following; YOUR COMPANY NAME
WITH COMPLETE ADDRESS,Or
YOUR PRIVATE NAME WITH COMPLETE ADDRESS, TEL AND FAX
NUMBERS, the name of
your bank its address, TEL/FAX AND
TELEX NUMBER. THE COMPLETE MAIL ADDRESS OF THE
BENEFICIARY.
Upon the receipt of this informations,the documents
and approval with the
texts will be sent to you for confirmaton and then
forwarded to the
organisation for ratification and subsequent
payment.As with the case of all
organised (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.
REPLY ASAP. With regards
.
