Please if you receive this message in error,kindly resend it to this mail

ATT: BELOVED FRIEND This committee Contract Review Panel under Economic
Community of West African States popularly known as ECOWAS has been mandated
by the Presidents and commander in-chief of the Armed Forces of the various
countries concerned, the upper Legislative Arm and the Governing board of
the Apex bank of the countries to cross check, investigate all
awarded/executed contracts to foreign firms since 1976 to the present day
and pay immediately the sum of $17.5 million united states dollars as (
accured interest) to all genuine foreign contractors whose payments have
been lingering over the years to enable them meet up with the payment
requirements/bills of the country in question as a way of redeeming the
battered image of our countries outside the world. During the course of our
investigation and operation, we have been able to live to the expectation of
the Foreign contractors concerned of which we have been receiving
recommendation from our various governments/parastatals.Really we have done
a lot to improve the life of many foreign contractors by the payment of this
accrued interest that emanated from their various contract fund, more
especially those contractors that have fallen into wrong hands in their
effort to receive their contract proceeds in some of our countries.
We have been able to register a tremendous good work in countries like Mali,
Cort de voir, Republic du Benin, Burkinafaso, Togo and some other countries
but we met a lot of disappointments in country like Nigeria and Ghana. In
these two countries we discovered a lot of ghost contractors and we have
erroneously paid millions of dollars to some of these contractors before we
now discover and stop such payment. My dear friend, could you imagine a
situation one receives $17.5million in two to three places in a contract
which he or she did not execute just because you are opportuned to know
someone in authority over here who can cover the process up.
In short I will explain further to you when I receive your reply to my
humble request. Well, am the chief auditor of this committee. My name is
Alleta Wonder from republic du Benin.
I have been authorized by my colleagues to look for a reliable partner who
can claim this $17.5million USD on our behalf. As I said earlier we
discovered thousands of contractors who are claiming millions of dollars in
Nigeria and Ghana, a contract they did not execute and all the papers
leading to the award and approval of this contracts are in intact but the
one that made us to look for a reliable person or partner now that we are
still in power is the one the owner of the account below Arab Bank for
Investment and Foreign Trade United Arab Emirates Tel : +971-6-5744888
Account Number : 301-01-50646 Swift : ABINAEAA is claiming which amounts to
$26.2million but our committee was about to remmitt $17.5million to this
account before we discovered the non-existence of the contract and the
nature and approval of this particular one made us to look for some one else
who can claim this money on our behalf as we(the committee) have
authenticated the existence of the contract in all dimensions which makes
this business risk free and guarantees its 100% success. Therefore, what is
needed from you now to make this business a success is your willinglyness
and total co-operation. Please if you are interested, kindly reply to this
my alternate e-mail alleta_wonder@yahoo.no.
We promise to negotiate on what you will take for assisting us when we
receive your reply. We await for your urgent response.
ALLETTA WONDER(DR) (Chief Auditor-CRP)
