Subject: Thanks
Good morning,
In the past few months, I have employed very diligent bureaucratic means to divorce US$ 25,500,000 (Twenty five Million, five hundred thousand U. S. Dollars) from the external affairs operation of the Federal Government of my country - in Angola andthe Central African Republic.My strategic position in the Government of my country and my relationship with corresponding key officials in the Governments of Angola and the Central African Republic has afforded me the required Intergovernmental funds transfer connections as well as the know-how that will ensure the success of an operation of this sizes. For our safety, I have structured the transfer of the US$ 25,500,000 to conform to the highest standard of International Banking Regulations and Financial Laws,conversely, I require strictly, a foreign company duly registered and verifiable as having conformed to the basic operating and equity standards in its area of domicile, to receive the US$ 25,500,000.
Your role, in the above regard, will be to act as the beneficiary of the funds in question, as my official portfolio precludes me from legal association with this money You must however, note that this transfer will be guided by certain express provisions designed to ensure that your receipt of the above stated sum does not place me at a disadvantage or undermine my ability to receive my
portion of the US$ 25,500,000.Firstly,the remittance of the money into your nominated account will be subject to a funds remittance clause known as Condition Precedent. That is, the crediting of your nominated account with the above stated funds will be conditional and subject to a post dated credit confirmation date. The postdating will allow my nominee and I adequate time to arrive in your country to set up the proper fund receipt mechanism for our share of the US$ 25,500,000Finally, I am constrained by time in the execution of the above stated transfer, therefore your immediate response in concession to the nature, requirement and conditions for the successful completion of this transfer, will be highly appreciated. At which time too, I will be more than delighted to illuminate whatever areas seem unclear to you in the entire process.I await your response,Sincerely,Engr.Augustine Abilio.
