Subject: Att.
FROM THE DESK OF MR. BASIL TRAORE,
DIRECTOR.
OFFICE OF THE CHAIRMAN,
CONTRACT AWARDING COMMITTEE.
EUROPEAN UNION CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT.
BURKINA FASO. WEST AFRICA.
Dear Friend,
I am BASIL TRAORE the Chairman of Contract Awarding Committee of the
EUROPEAN UNION CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT(ECC) in BURKINA FASO West Africa.I got
your information in a business directory from the Burkina Faso Chamber of
Commerce and industries, when I was searching for a reliable, honest and
trust worthy person to entrust this business to. I was simply inspired and
motivated to pick your contact from the directory. After discussing my view
and your profile with my colleagues, they were satisfy and decided to
contact you immediately for this mutual business relationship.
We wish to transfer the sum of USD$5.800,000.00 (five million eight hundred
United States Dollars only.) into your personal or company's bank account.
This fund was a residue of the over invoice contract bills awarded by us for
the supply of equiments, hard/soft wares, pharmaceuticals/medical items
relating to constructing tool's, light and heavy duty vehicles, apparels and
other administrative logistics etc. for the Burkina Faso Projects. This DEAL
was deliberately hatched out and carefully protected with all the visible
loop holes and 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 over invoice of the contract funds, supplies by different
companies from different countries. It was our consensus to seek the
assistance of a willing foreigner to provide us with the facilities to
transfer this money out of Burkina Faso.
This is borne out of our belief in the non-stable and sporous political
nature of this sub-region.The original contractors have been duly paid by
the Bank of Africa Ouagadougou-Burkina-Faso in West Africa. (Bank of Africa,
Ouaga-Burkina-Faso in West Africa). Through our bankers - Societe Generale
de 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 organization is winding up its activities and the coast have been
achieved.
Based on the laws and ethics of employment, we as civil servants working
under this organization, 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 funds 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, 60% will be held on trust for us while 10% will
be used to defray any incidental charges and expenses during the
transaction. This transaction will be successfully concluded within 14 days
if you accord us your unalloyed and due cooperation. You are required to
provide the followings;
1.YOUR COMPANY'S NAME WITH COMPLETE ADDRESS. TELEX AND FAX NUMBERS. (if
available)
2.YOUR COMPLETE MAILING ADDRESS INCLUDING TELEPHONE NUMBERS.
Upon the receipt of this information, the documents and approval with the
text will be sent to you for confirmation and then forwarded to the
organization for retification 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 have a honorable business life after all. There is no
risk involve in this business. I sugest you reply me back for more intimacy
and details. You can reply through my alternative email as follows;
trbasil@plasa.com
Yours Faithfully,
Mr. Basil Traore.
