Confidential Business Proposal
From Florence Adimorah
(florence25ci@yahoo.com)
Dear Friend,
With utmost regards I crave your understanding of this
proposal, I am Florence Adimorah the wife of late Dr
Adimorah Adamu Ouattara the former Financial
Controller of Cote d'Ivoire
Telecommunication(CITELCOM) who was injured by the
heat of the political crisis here in my country
Abidjan and after some days, before he died in the
hospital, he revealed to me the whole process he has
gone on finished payment of Contract workers and he
handed over to my son Laurent all documents where he
deposited US$26million Us dollars in the bank as the
beneficiary contractor of the said company (CITELCOM)
. I got a very recommendation of you and wish to
propose this business to you in a strict confidence.
I am seeking your assistance for the Telegraphic
Transfer of Twenty Six million United States
Dollars(US$26,000,000) to your account for further
private investment purposes because my late husband
instructed me before he died not to use the money to
invest in this country Cote d'Ivoire that I should
invest abroad for the benefit of my children Laurent
and Chantal.
This amount to be transferred was accrued from an
over-invoiced contract award for the construction of
an underground telephone network to replace the former
in the new capital city(Yamoussoukro) and other major
cities also for installation of the microwave station
awarded to my late husband Adimorah Adamu Ouattara in
1998 to expatriate companies.
The contract which was originally valued for one
hundred and ten million united states dollars
(US$110,000,000.00) was manipulated to read eighty
four million united states dollars (US$84,000,000.00).
The extra twenty six million US$ was deposited in a
fixed deposit account by my late husband which has
expired this year, this is what I want to be
transferred to your account as the beneficiary
contractor due for payment. This contract has been
completely executed and the contractor has been paid
all their bills completely.
On your interest to assist me in this transaction what
I require from you, your real name and your private
phone and fax numbers for easy and strict
communication, You shall arrange for me to meet with
you once this fund is been transferred in your own
account and confirmed by you.
On the successful conclusion of this transaction we
will offer you 10% of the total amount, We have also
mapped out 5% for any miscellaneous expenses that
might occur in the process of this transfer, the rest
will be released to us when we get to your country.
I have worked out all modalities concerning the
transfer of this fund, so in this transaction you are
required to treat it with the strictest confidence.
Thanks in Anticipation of your acknowledgement of this
proposal.
Waiting for your urgent response through my private email address(florence25ci@yahoo.com)
Best regards,
Florence
