CHAIRMAN OF CONTRACT AWORDING COMMITE
PRIVATE PHONE +225 078 78 301 ABIDJAN,
IVORY COAST.
WEST AFRICA

Dear sir,
STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL JOINT VENTURE PARTNERSHIP INTRODUCTION.
My name is Engr.yao agine. I am the chairman of contract awarding committee for the past five years with petrol ivoire, which is a national oil firm, of Cote d'Ivoire.
Three years ago, the late former military head of state, General Robert Guei, ask me to award a contract to a firm for supply of heavy-duty equipments to the oil firm (petrol ivoire).
He specifically called me after three months and asked me to prepare a payment voucher to the tune of $37,000,000.00 USD (Thirty seven million dollars) In favour of AL-bartis group, which never existed or did supplied any thing. But what can I say to a dictator? Only to obey the instructions.Unfortunately for him and fortunately for me, he was removed from office as president of the country. As the new government of president Gbagbo took over from him, I was retained because of my sincerity.

I returned $20,000,000,00, Out the $37 million. I have been waiting for an opportunity to come when I shallmove this $17 milliom out of the country for my personal use/investment.

Right now I have created an avenue to move this money out of this country if you will be interested to provide me with your bank account,

I will be glad to do this deal with you, shearing the money ratio is 30% for you and 70% for me.

It is 100% risk free as I will educate you on the steps to fallow as soon as you indicate your interest.

You can call me on this phone number +225 078 78 301 or you give me your phone numbers for me to call you for better clarification.

Thanks and God bless us.

Regards,

ENGR YAO YAO AGINE.
