Please go through this message and let me know if you will accommodate
The stated sum for our mutual benefit.
Attn: The Chief Executive Officer/President of the company.
Dear Friend,
I am Mr. Humphrey Da bory; the Director in charge of Engineering and
Projection Sao Tome & Principe Petroleum and Gas Company (STPGC). In brief
of Sao Tome & Principe is an island in the Gulf of Guinea, straddling the
Equator and West of Gabon in West Africa colonized by the Portugal. I have
been privileged to head this office for five years. The STPGC is into crude
oil exploration and it is on this oil exploration the country Highly depends
as its source of revenue.
In a nutshell, I got your contact through a friend who had once being In
your country upon my inquiry for reliable person to engage in business. He
guaranteed your reliability and trust-worthiness, it was on this
recommendation I write you this message as to intimate you of this business
intention for our mutual benefit. Though there is level of
confidentiality, which the business requires and I hope you keep this
business secret.
The brief explanation of the business is this:
I have under my control the opportunity to remit 33,500,000.00 Million
Dollars (Thirty Three Million Five hundred thousand Dollars) to an oversea
Account for personal use but need the involvement of a foreigner whose name
will be fronted as recipient of the sum overseas before it could be
released.
I therefore seek your assistance as a result of the fact that by virtue of
my positions as a civil servant, I cannot make claim of the sum due to the
fact that civil servants in Sao Tome & Principe are barred under the civil
code of conduct act Decree 639 (6) of 1999 to operate or own foreign
accounts. It is by this reason hence, my contacting you as to solicit your
assistance/cooperation to front you as the beneficiary of the amount so it
could be released to us.
The amount originated from a 700,000,000.00 Million Dollars (Seven Hundred
Million Dollars) contract awarded by STPGC to a Multinational Bulgarian Firm
in 2004 for pipeline equipment supply to one of the refineries. The amount
was deliberately over-invoiced to the tone of 730,500,000.00 Million Dollars
with the intention to claim the added amount when the Bulgarian firm
completes the contract.
The Bulgarian company has completed the contract and has being paid the
actual contract amount of 700,000,000.00M Dollars, leaving the added amount
(33.5 Million Dollars) floating in the Security outfit in one of the French
speaking countries where it is presently lodged after claim from the
federated account of STPGC.
For your understanding, I have solidified and perfected arrangements to make
sure the money is released legitimately in such a way that no risk of
partners on either side will be at stake after claim. Also, I have made
careful and necessary arrangements for its release without problems. I
assure you of 100% risk free if you are capable to stand for the claim.
For the assistance required from you, 28% of the sum is for you and 12% set
aside to replenish expenses to be incurred by you and me on the process of
the transaction or in alternative we invest the money in a lucrative
business (preferably properties) in your country where each of us will be in
control. Please let me know what will be your suggestion out of the two.
Let me know immediately, your interest and willingness to enable me furnish
you with the modus operandi of the business. Please do also send your reply
through this email : humbory@yahoo.com Do not reply through the email you
receive this message for security reason.
Yours Faithfully,
Mr. Humphrey Da bory.
