ACCOUNT PROVISION ON $45MUSD
Forgive my indignation if this message comes to you as a surprise
and may offend your personality for contacting you without your
prior consent and writing through this unofficial channel.I got
your contact from a profesional database found in internet while
searching for a reliable and honest person that will assist me
safeguard funds into an account.
Due to the amount involved since this deal is my last hope,I have
to consult my spiritual Leader who directed me to contact you after
series of prayers/fasting before this letter to you.
Proposal : In the course of discharging my duty while reconciling
our debt on Ecowas contractors files who has not received their
balance payments on the contracts executed by them.After going
through some old files ,I found out that one of our Foreign
Contractor who died some time ago was among the contractor's whose
funds are to be paid. I made several attempts to locate his other
family members or relations which proves abortive as was not
contained in his contract information with us.I thought wisely to
transfer this money out now Ecowas is prepared to pay all
contractor's outstanding bill than loosing it to Ecowas since its
ethics has a stipulated years for such debt after which the debt
will be deleted from Ecowas record and will be termed as Bad Debt
which will be shared among Ecowas Top management which i am not
included. This is why i am contacting you to assist me safeguard
this Fund in your account.I would have executed this deal without
contacting you but due to our country civil service code which
prohibits us from operating foreign accounts and also the fund will
only be released to a foreigner as the next of kin to the Deceased
Foreign contractor.
As an account owner for this transfer,You will be entittled to 15%
of the total fund,15% will be used to set up humanitarian
organisations to be managed by both of us in your country to help
needy,motherless babies and other less priviledged people including
donation to the recent Tsunami VIctims in Asia While I take 65% for
my investment in your country then 5%
will be set aside to take care of any incidental charges which
might arise in the course of the transfer.
Due to my position.I have all his personal contract
information which will be released to you on demand to pursue the
payment approval from Ecowas.All the arrangement to put claim on the
fund legally as the apparent heir of the deceased has been
perfected. Needless to say, the trust reposed on you at this
juncture is enormous. In return I demand your complete honesty and
trust. NOTE : This transaction will be strictly based on the
following terms and conditions as I have statedbelow:
(a)My conviction of your transparent honesty and diligence.
(b) That you would treat this transaction with utmost secrecy and
confidentiality
(c) That you will not ask for more share or try to sit on the funds
once it is under your custody, or any form of blackmail to allow you
run away with this fund.
(d) That upon receipt of the funds you will release the funds as
instructed by me after you have removed your share of 15% from the
total amount before my arrival in your country as it might take me
time to retire and get my travel documents ready before arriving.
This transaction is 100% legal and risk free and we hope to conclude
this deal within 14 working days if you accord me your unalloyed
support and co-operation. I give you my word that you are completely
safe in doing business with me. Transactions like this have been
successfully carried out in the past by some of my collegues and now
they are outside enjoying their wealth with their foreign
collaborators. Looting and corruption is rampant in this part of the
world ,thus explaining why you might have heard stories of how money
is been taken out of this country through foreigners assistance
like you, this is because everyone is making desperate attempts to
secure his/her family future, so that when retires from active service
he/she will not languish in poverty since Civil servants were not
properly taken care of.
NB: To Strenghten the security network of this deal and for you to
be very sure you are rightly speaking with me,it is very important
that when you call and ask for me,the moment i pick up the phone,you should
ask me for the "SECRET NUMBER" and my answer would be "ONE"
before we proceed discussions,But if i do not say "ONE",that means
you are not speaking with me just disconnect the call and call back
till i give you the "NUMBER". If this deal further interest you,call
me for more detailed information and discard this information if you
won't participate due the sensitivity of the transaction.As am an
employee of Ecowas and always busy in the office especially now that
other contractors will be coming for their funds too,Ask me if i am
free to talk whenever you call me.Due to poor Telephone System in my
country,Your call might be either giving you a busy signal or
computer saying that the Telephone subscriber is not Available,
Kindly ignore it and continue trying as you
must definately be connected.
God Bless
Mr.Gregory Sabo
