Myself and two other colleagues, serving the board, deliberately inflated and over invoiced the contract sum.Leaving the excess of US$ 30.000.000.00 (Thirty Million United States Dollars)at the completion of the contract.The real contact sum was paid to the original contractor, leaving the excess which we reported to the federal government that it belonged to the sub-contractor that handled part of the original c!
ontract.
But the company submitted as the beneficiary was a non-existing foreign company, which was a purposed attempt by the us to divert the money for our private use Right now the amount is due for payment and is floating in the treasury not attached to anyone. We are only three people who know the origin of this fund . But we can not claim it by ourselves, therefore we are looking for a trust worthy foreign company or individual whose name can be used to claim the money and subsequently transfer the money to any account that may be furnished, with whom we will share money.
That is why we contacted your assistance . This is strictly a business deal, but it is 100% risk free and secure as we are going to use our official position to source all necessary legitimizing the contract as genuinely executed by you and the copies of the approval documents will be sent to you before the transfer as proof of origin of transfer, proving the funds to be clean and free of any illicittrade, drug and money laundering.
All the necessary arrangements was put in place in all relevant department for immediate approval of this payment once any account is submitted. Three of us put or write a letter of retirement so we need your assistance. For your co-operation, we have agreed to give you 20% of the entire amount on conclusion of the transaction. Then 70% will be kept for three of us for investment in your country , while 10% will be used to settle for any miscellaneous expenditure incurred in the process of transfer.
Please if you are interested in this proposal, I want you to respond immediately on the above e-mail address for further information and instruction on how to proceed. This transaction is expected to be completed within one month from the date of the account information where the money will be transferred. Thanks you for your anticipated co-operation. Still waiting to hear from you.
