Dear Friend,
For your assistance please.I write to solicit for your assistance
for this transaction believing that you will treat this with utmost
confidence,and excuse me for the embarrassment this letter might
cause you as we have not met or known each other before.
I am Engr.Sandra Smith project manager with the Federal
Ministry of Works & Housing (FMW&H).I obtained your email
from the internet, while searching for a reliable person,
who could assist us in receiving cash gift from contractors
awarded contracts executed under the current budgetary
allocation for NDDC.
These bills had been approved for payment by the concerned ministry
The contracts had been executed and commissioned.
What we are about to receive now, is a promised cash gift
from the contractors whom we have helped during the process
of obtaining the contracts and in the processing of their
payments. On our part, all modalities had been worked out
in ensuring a smooth conclusion of the transfer to you
within the next twenty-one days.All I want from you is
your details to enable these foreign contractors forward
the cash gift to you on our behalf, because as government
officials we cannot collect these cash gift directly from
them, neither are we allowed by law to operate/run a
foreign accounts.If you are trustworthy and can assist
me in receiving these cash gift,I will like you to provide
immediately to me, your full names,address,and telephone number.
Please note that there will be no financial obligation
required from you and this transaction is risk free.
For each cash you received on our behalf you are entitled
to 10% of that sum.As soon as you indicate your interest,
further instructions will be passed on to you on the
procedure that we will follow in accomplishing this deal.
Kindly reach me immediately via my confidential
email- sandrasmith_001@hotmail.com refurnishing me with
your details as stated above.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Best regards,
Mrs Sandra Smith
