Dear Friend,
I am Sir Marras Mbeti, the office manager of the Central African Republic's former President Ange Felix Patassi. I'm presently in exile in
Calabar(Nigeria),after the military's putch. I have found your address in the commercial directory we have in our Chamber of Commerce.
First of all, I am very sorry for the way I get in touch with you for such a matter. But the lack of reliable communication means and the confidentiality of this business, are the reasons that prompt me to do so.
I would like to have a partnership with you, in order to invest a sum of USD$48,000,000 in profitable sectors in your country, as long as you're interested in my offer.
I've got this money from cash donations by foreign contractors I've granted many contracts in my department.As a close aide to the former
President,I couldn't use our banking system to transfer such an amount without a trace. This could cause me serious problems. Even presently, the
new President has decided to freeze all the abroad bankingaccounts of all those who were closed to Mr Patassi. So that I'm now without any source of income.
The situation above lead me to ask for your cooperation for the keeping of these funds, for solid and reliable projects of investment.
I respectfully suggest a gift of 20% of this sum for your help and your efforts. I mean USD$9,600,000.
I rely on you as a respectful and honest person to take care of this transaction with sincerity, confidence and confidentiality.
I've decided to look for a confidential cooperation with you in this business, despite the fact that we've never met.
I hope you will keep this as a great secret because of the nature of this transaction.I will make sure you take possession of the funds, by
providing a process without difficulty.
I would like to hear from you on receipt of this mail, by showing me your good will and possibilities, so that I can give you more details.
This matter requires a particular attention and an absolute confidentiality from you.I will be expecting your response to this mail, whatever
the decision you come to.
Best Regards.
Marras Mbeti
