Dear Friend/Partner,
URGENT BUSINESS RELATION
I am Amb. Dr. Hukka Wario., a Permanent Secretary with the Office of the
Vice President Kenya.
I am currently on a trade mission to the European Union as a member of
KENYAN NEPAD delegate for
the establishment of favourable tariffs regimes on the import of
African
agricultural products to encourage
and boost our economy. It is an agreement between my partner and me to
contact somebody in this very
business transaction.
Sometime ago, contracts were awarded to foreign firms by the contract
award
committee of my
department. All contracts have since been executed, and full contract
values
have been paid to all contractors concerned.
My Partner and I have discovered an excess payable amount, which must be
paid out immediately.
The said amount will be shared between us in an agreeable percentage
ratio.
We intend to apply for payment of this funds using your name as a duly
certified contractor yet to be paid.
With our present positions and contacts on ground, we guarantee that
this
transaction will be completed
within 7 working days. Upon receipt of your positive response to assist
us,
I will disclose to you pertinent
details involving the transaction like the amount involved and sharing
ration.
It does not matter whether or not you have a company that executes
contracts. We have strong and
reliable connections and contacts, and we have no doubt that the full
amount
will be released if we get
the necessary foreign partner from your country to assist us.
Kindly disregard my means of contact to you, necessity and the urgency
has
made me do so, and i hope
you receive this message yourself. I got your contact through a member
of
our delegation who has been
on similar trade mission to your country.
After the successful transfer, I will immediately come over to your
country
and have our share put into
investment as you may advise us. We shall through our same contact,
withdraw
and guarantee all parties
involved to be free from any problem now or in the future. The security
of
this transaction is 100%.
There is no risk on both sides. Please keep this transaction as strictly
confidential as possible as it may
jeopardize our chances.
As serving officials, we cannot afford to put on the line what we have
achieved so far in life.
Contact me immediately through the above fax number or email address,
whether or not you are
interested. If you are not, it will enable me seek for another promising
partner.
Send to me your direct and confidential telephone number for us to have
first hand discussion on the
modalities.
I await your prompt response.
Thank you.
Amb. Dr. Hukka Wario
Permanent Secretary
Office of the Vice President
