colleagues in Treasury Department Federal Ministry of Finance Gambia are in
need of a silent foreign partner in whose account we can transfer this
amount for our mutual benefits This funds accrued from a legitimate but
discretely to us as a commission from foreign contract through our private
connections. The contract in question has been
Fully paid out to the contractors.
We therefore need your assistance to help us receive these funds since our
apex bank is waiting for any person that will put up claims.
However, by virtue of our positions as civil servants in our country, we
cannot acquire this money in our names. Because as highly placed civil
servants, we are not allowed by the civil service code of conduct to own or
operate bank accounts outside of our shores..
My colleagues have delegated me as a matter of trust, to look for an
overseas silent partner in whose account we would transfer the USD24,
600,000.00
For our mutual benefit, hence the reason for this email.
What I am requesting from you is: (1) To be our silent partner and receive
the funds in your account in trust. (2) Provide a bank account under your
control to which the funds will be remitted. (3) Receive the funds in your
account, take out your commission and keep the rest of the money until I
arrive there to meet you after the transfer is completed.
Our proposal is that after you receive the funds, it would be shared as
follows: (1) 30% to you as commission, 5% for expenses that may be incurred
in the course of this transaction. While the remaining 65% belongs to the
two colleagues and myself. You will be free to take out your commission and
your expenses incurred immediately the funds hit your account. Since our
objective is to invest the money in a foreign country, it would be
appreciated if you can also help us to invest our own money into profitable
ventures in your country.
However, this is optional, and should it not be convenient for you to
further assist us with investing the money, we can end our cooperation after
you hand over to us our percentage of the money.
The transaction, although discrete, is legitimate and the money will be
transferred to your account with all necessary back-up documents showing
legitimate Source/origin of fund. The transfer will be affected to your
account within Seven (7) working days as soon as we reach an agreement and
you furnish me with a suitable bank account for receiving the money.

not expose this information to any one else. I confirm that the transaction
is legitimate and without any risks either to you or ourselves.
Please, give me your response immediately by return mail while keeping
everything confidential. I will also need your direct telephone numbers for
voice contact.
