Subject: CONTRACT PROPOSAL
FROM THE DESK OF DR ROBERT MENSAH
CHAIRMAN ECOWAS CONTRACT AWARDING COMMITTEE
ECOWAS FUND HEADQUARTERS
P.M.B.5028
ACCRA-REPUBLIC OF GHANA
ACCOUNT PROVISION FOR USD45.5 MILLION
I am Dr. Robert Mensah. The Chairman, Contract Awarding
Committee of the ECONOMIC COMMUNITY OF WEST AFRICAN
STATES (ECOWAS)with its fund Headquarters in
Accra-Ghana.
I got your information in a Proffesional database when
I was searching through Internet 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 in the list of 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
45.5,000,000.00 (Forty five 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 intentionally for the supply of
hard/soft wares,phamaceauticals/ medical items,light
and heavy duty vehicles, apparels and other
administrative/logistics for the ECOMOG in
Sierra-Leone and Liberia during the Peace Keeping
Projects.
This DEAL was deliberately hatched out and carefully
protected with the cooperation and mandate of the
Financial Director and the Secretary of the
Organization.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 belief in the non-stable and
porous political nature of this sub-region. The
original contractors have been duly paid by Ecowas
banker through the Central bank of Ghana and Finance
Ministry.The balance is suspended in the ECOWAS grand
Account awaiting claims by any foreign partner of our
choice to receive the fund on our behalf Now Ecowas is
intending to pay all their outstanding balance of
their contractors this year as the organization 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 organization, are not
allowed to operate/own a foreign account.This is more
reason why we needed your urgent 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 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 for immediate kick
of of this deal if it interest you; 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. THE ACCOUNT NUMBER THE
COMPLETE MAILING ADDRESS OF THE BENEFICIARY WITH
TELEPHONE AND FAX NUMBERS.
Upon the receipt of this informations,application for
claim will be sent to you to fill and return back to
the organization in pursuit of the claim legally and
then be 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 honorable business life afterwards.There are no
risks involved .
Kindly expedite action if you are interested as we are
behind schedule to enable us utilize this golden
opportunity pay out this fund immediately which we
might stand to loose, if we fail to provide a safe
account for this transfer on time at the expiration of
this year Ecowas has mapped out for payment of all
their outstanding contractors and the dissolution of
our committee.Please urgency is needed as we do not
know the time our organization will start the payment
hence it is necessary to start on time to forestall
any hitch while transferring the fund into your
designated account .
Hoping to hear from you.
With regards.
Dr. Robert Mensah
