Subject: A LETTER FROM MR.SAMOGHO JOHNSON.
OFFICE OF THE CHAIRMAN,
CONTRACT AWARDING COMMITTEE,
"ECOWAS".
OUAGADOUGOU, BURKINA-FASO.
WEST AFRICA.
ATTN:
I am MR.SAMOGHO JOHNSON,The Chairman Contract Awarding Committee of the
ECONOMIC COMMUNITY OF WEST AFRICAN STATES ( ECOWAS) with Headquarters in
BURKINA FASO. 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 with. 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 very
much satisfied and decided to contact you immediately for this mutual
business relationship. We wish to transfer the sum of USD$35M into your
personal or company's bank account.
This fund was a residue of the over invoiced contract bills awarded by us
for the supply of ammunitions, hard/soft wares, pharmaceuticals / medical
items, light and heavy duty vehicles,
apparels and other administrative logistics etc for the ECOMOG in
Sierra-Leone and Liberia during the Peace Keeping Projects. This DEAL was
deliberately hatched out and carefully protected with all the
attendant loop holes 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 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 sporous political nature of this
sub-region.
The original contractors have been duly paid by the Banque Centrale Des
Etats De L`Afrique De L`Ouest (Central Bank of the West African States)
through our bankers - Societe Generale 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 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 a
foreign account. This is the more reason why we needed your 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 40% of
the entire sum as compensation, 50% will be held on trust for us while 10%
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 due cooperation. You should provide the
followings;
YOUR COMPANY'S NAME WITH COMPLETE ADDRESS,
TELE AND FAX NUMBERS. (if available)
THE NAME OF YOUR BANK,
ITS ADDRESS WITH TEL,
FAX AND TELEX NUMBERS AND THE ACCOUNT NUMBER.
THE COMPLETE MAILING ADDRESS OF THE BENEFICIARY WITH TELEPHONE AND FAX
NUMBERS.
Upon the receipt of this information, the documents and approval with the
texts will be sent to you for confirmation and then 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 a honourable business life afterwards. There are
no risks involved regards in this business.
With regards.
MR.SAMOGHO JOHNSON.
