Anthony Uba.
Good day to you.
It is my pleasure to forward this business proposal to you for our mutual
benefit. I am Mr. Anthony Uba, auditor BOND OIL & GAS, an oil servicing
firm. I diverted and executed a contract meant for my company valued at
US$18.5 million on personal basis as a foreign contractor representative
with the help of financiers, which my management is not aware. This was turn
around maintenance of oil refinery pipeline.
The contract payment has been on schedule and approved by the company with
the finance firm over here to effect the payment via their affiliate
offshore finance firm in Europe to the beneficiary contractor's bank
account, but due to my/contract status I could not claim the fund myself. I
can only present a foreign partner as the said contractor to claim this fund
transfer to overseas account.
The require documents to back up this claim legitimately will be obtain on
your behalf through an attorney as your local representative. It is
important to make you understand that this deal is perfect and legal without
any atom of risk. Your duty in this deal is to act as the beneficiary
contractor. Upon conclusion of the transaction you are entitle to 20% of the
total contract sum as your commission.
The safe and faster means for this transfer is as follows: You are to
register a company name and establish a Bank account with the finance firm
in Europe which is charge of this payment, the name of the register company
and the account name will be in the same name as a sister company here, this
will enable the deposit into the account and further transfer to your
designated bank account. This account will be easy for you to receive the
money as the contractor's beneficiary.
This system, shall avoid all the hurdles and bottleneck bureaucracy of
transferring large sums out this West Africa sub region. Please do note that
the key code and success of this deal is for both
party to maintain and keep the transaction absolutely confidential till
conclusion.
Therefore, I advice you to furnish me with your full name, contact address,
copy of your passport and telephone (mobile) number for easy correspondence,
to enable me issue you further information about the finance firm in Europe
for further operation, application and subsequent claim of fund, after
meeting with you personally or my appointed representative.
Waiting for your response while thanking you in advance.
Yours faithfully.
Mr. Anthony Uba.
