Subject: CAN I TRUST YOU!
Attention: Dearest Friend,
Compliments of the day! Please I will appreciate it if
you should avail yourself of this opportunity, but
first of all I must inform you who I am and appeal
that this information should be kept very
confidential.
I am Mr. Per Engebak a senior executive with the
Unicef Aid office in charge of Aid work in the African
Region with office in London. It may interest you to
know that choosing you was not an easy task for me, as
I had to ensure that whom I will deal with regarding
this transaction must be a person of high integrity
and accountability, so be rest assured I am entrusting
this deal in your care.
Not too long ago, a couple of months back the line, an
Aid fund was released to my office for Aid development
in the Region of Africa to aid in health, drought
relief and Hunger eradication by providing good pipe
borne water to the communities affected, in view of
this the amount of USD$20 Million dollars was released
to me, after we did the analysis and evaluations, what
we where able to spend to ensure that this aid project
is achieved comfortably amounted to only USD$9
million, leaving my office with a balance of USD$11
Million, which invariably my office will have to
return to our headquarters as unused funds, but after
this project execution, I had a real serious thought
on the whole issue, been that I have been working with
Unicef for quite some years now without much credit to
show for it, I have always been told to understand
that my work is based on humanitarian grounds, that, I
have judiciously worked for, but I lack the comfort
and luxury that comes with a normal life, so based on
this, I decided that the fund will be my retirement
benefit, so in my report I did include the detail that
the project funds was accounted for and spent on the
project, so it on record that the fund was utilized
and project was successful.
What i want you to do for me is to provide all the
pertinent details for remitting the balance funds into
your account, person details about yourself, also your
Residential address and a copy of your passport or
driving license and your contact telephone numbers are
needed, I can then draft an agreement between the both
of us for our mutual interest towards the realization
of this transaction, for your assistance and
commitment to the remittance and safety of the funds I
will release 20% percent of the fund to you, and 10%
for whatever we may incur while ensuring that the
funds is successfully remitted to your account during
the course of transferring the fund.
Lastly, be rest assured that this transaction will not
pose any risk for us, it has been properly hatched,
it's just that as a Senior staff of the Unicef I
cannot account for such fund in my account, so I
immediately arranged for the funds to be held in safe
deposit pending when I can arrange for the funds to be
moved out with your total involvement, also note that
you will be responsible for the investment of this
fund though with my supervision and advice.
I expect to hear from you soonest through my email
address personel@compaqnet.fr or you can call
me on +44 87 14 74 98 04, be informed that we should
keep this matter highly confidential as matter of
security, due to my involvement and reputation as
UNICEF staff.

Regards,
Mr. Per Engebak
