Subject: Urgent Attention Needed
Hello Dear,
How are you doing? Great I hope. This message might be a surprise to you but
please I would want you to read on as I am so delighted to contact you on a
very private note. My Name is Dr. Shamsuddeen Usman, Deputy Governor-Foreign
Operations in the SG-SSB-ACCRA-GHANA.
You see! Two years ago, some executive officers in the Federal Ministry of
Petroleum Resources (FMPR) approached me that they want to present someone
(A FOREIGNER) as the beneficiary of a fund (MONEY) resulting from an
over-invoiced contract that was awarded to a foreign contractor.
So after the negotiation, we unanimously agreed that they (THE OFFICERS)
would give me the sum of $200,000UUS(CASH) on my acceptance to assist them
transfer the fund. But as soon as I made some level of fruitful effort on
the business and demanded my money ($200,000UUS) as agreed, they deviated
from our initial agreement and decided to go through the Chief Accountant
of(SG-SSB BANK GHANA)at my back to make a change on the bank account they
presented for the transfer in order to disappoint me and the foreigner.
The were placing to transfer the fund but they do not know that the Chief
Accountant of (SG-SSB BANK) whom they have contacted is also under my
control. So when I got to know of their evil plans, I proved their illicit
effort abortive by putting a temporal stop on the transfer (MONEY). They all
noticed what happened and ran away till date.
The actual amount is $15.5MUS (FIFTEEN MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED
STATES DOLLARS). I want to re-emphasize to you that this FUND is still under
the control of my department. Now with my whole heart i want to enter into
real business with you on a sincere agreement since these officers have
disappointed me and disappeared into tin-air with shame and are NO where to
be found. This fund is still floating awaiting proper documentation and
claim. So now, this is what we are to do.
(1) ON AGREEMENT, I ASSURE YOU THAT AM GOING TO TRANSFER THIS FUND INTO THE
ACCOUNT YOU ARE GOING TO NOMINATE.
(2) ON YOUR PART, YOU HAVE TO ASSURE ME, THAT YOU ARE GOING TO KEEP MY
DEALING WITH YOU SECRET BECAUSE OF MY POSITION.
(3) WE ARE GOING TO SHARE THIS MONEY EQUAL AS SOON AS THE FUND GETS TO YOUR
NOMINATED ACCOUNT. BUT, I WOULD WANT A PROMISSORY NOTE SIGNED BY YOU,
REGARDING THIS AGREEMENT.
(4) WE WILL SECURE PROPER DOCUMENTATION TO MAKE THIS CLAIM GENUINE AND PLACE
YOU AS THE BONAFIDE FOREIGN CONTRACTOR AND BENEFICIARY OF THIS SAID FUND.
(5) IMPORTANTLY, YOU HAVE TO GUARANTEE ME THAT YOU ARE GOING TO KEEP MY OWN
SHARE OF THE FUND SAFE, TILL I MEET WITH YOU IN YOUR COUNTRY.
I also would want you on acceptance, to keep this information very
confidential until we finalize this transaction. Please reply to this
message immediately as I await your favorable response and advice on
investment plans because I would love to invest my own share of the fund in
your country. I await your response. God Bless you.
Regards
Dr. Shamsuddeen Usman.
