My faithful friend,
Compliment of the season, I am the executive director of contract
award/inspection unit of the West African Contract Awarding Committee
Burkina Faso Zone. We award contracts and approve contract payments in West
African Sub-region. I know that it will be a suprise for you to receive this
mail from me as you didn't know me in person. Any way I got your contact
email address from a book called "yahoo details" here in Burkina Faso
Chamber of Commerce when I was desperate looking for foreign partner.
However, in the recent past, we approved and awarded contract to foreign
firm in which they have completed successfully, and most of them have
received their payments.
In the course of these contracts award, I and my very good friend Mr. Amadou
Bamba who was the director audit/accounts department, but have died as a
result of cardiac arrest (MAY HIS SOUL REST IN PEACE). We over-invoiced the
contract values with a total sum of USD$32.5M (Thirty-two million five
hundred thousand dollars). The over-invoiced sum is now floating in a
suspense account in our contract paying bank " BANK OF AFRICA" (BOA)
Ouagadougou Annex, Burkina Faso. I have decided to contact you in order to
transfer the said amount into your nominated bank account for safe and
possible disbursment immediatly after the successful transfer. This fund is
very clean fund and I am the only one who knows the real truth in it as my
collegue "Mr. Amadou Bamba" is no more. You should not worry for anything
else.
This transaction is 100% risk free. Kindly contact me with the below email,
for more explanations and possible means of transferring the fund into your
account. If you accept my offer I shall compensate you with 40% of the
money, 60% for me.
I am assuring you that with my position and authority confirned on me, this
money shall hit your account before 21 working days if you comply with all
necessary conditions with out delay. Please note that this is not push over
or a poor man transaction. I assure you that after this transaction your
life will change to better and you will never forget me till your last day
on earth. This mail is very important and will be your best choice of the
year. Send an e-mail as soon as you get this message, I will be waiting. I
wish you the best of luck and pray to see you in person as soon as the
transaction is completed.
NOTE: THIS TRANSACTION IS STRICLY CONFIDENTIAL.
Thanks for your assistance in advance.
Yours Sincerely,
Mady Bruno
