FROM THE DESK OF PROF.SAMUEL ADDO
CHAIRMAN ECOWAS CONTRACT AWARDING
COMMITTEE ECOWAS FUND HEADQUARTERS
P.M.B.5028
ACCRA-REPUBLIC OF GHANA
ACCOUNT PROVISION FOR USD45.5 MILLION
I am Prof.Samuel Addo. The Chairman, Contract Awarding Committee of the
ECONOMIC COMMUNITY OF WEST AFRICAN STATES (ECOWAS)with its fund Headquarters
in Accra-Ghana.
I got your information in a Proffesional database when I was searching
through Internet for a reliable, honest and trustworthy person to entrust
this business with. I was simply inspired and motivated to pick your contact
from the many names in the list of the directory.
After discussing my view and your profile with my colleagues,they were very
much satisfied and decided to contact you immediately for this mutual
business relationship.We wish to transfer the sum of USD45.5,000,000.00
(Forty five million five hundred thousand United States Dollars only) into
your personal or company`s bank account.
This fund was a residue of the over invoiced contract bills awarded by us
intentionally for the supply of hard/soft wares,phamaceauticals/ medical
items,light and heavy duty vehicles, apparels and other
administrative/logistics for the ECOMOG in Sierra-Leone and Liberia during
the Peace Keeping Projects.
This DEAL was deliberately hatched out and carefully protected with the
cooperation and mandate of the Financial Director and the Secretary of the
Organization.We arranged and over invoiced the
contract funds supplied by different companies from different countries
during the crisis. It was our consensus to seek the assistance of a willing
foreigner to provide us with the facilities to transfer this money out of
West Africa.
This is borne out of our belief in the non-stable and porous political
nature of this sub-region. The original contractors have been duly paid by
Ecowas banker through the Central bank of Ghana and Finance Ministry.The
balance is suspended in the ECOWAS grand A ccount awaiting claims by any
foreign partner of our choice to receive the fund on our behalf Now Ecowas
is intending to pay all their outstanding balance of their contractors this
year as the organization is winding up its activities since the aim of
returning PEACE to the countries and the coast has been achieved.
Based on the laws and ethics of employment,we as civil servants working
under this organization, are not allowed to operate/own a foreign
account.This is more reason why we needed your urgent assistance to provide
an account that can sustain this fund for safe keeping and our future
investment with your comprehensive advise,assistance and partnership in your
country.
It is however agreed,as the account owner in this deal to allow you 30% of
the entire sum as compensation, 65% will be held on trust for us while 5%
will be used to defray any incidental charges and cost during thecourse of
the transaction. This transaction will be successfully concluded within 14
days if you accord us your unalloyed and due cooperation.
You should provide the followings for immediate kick of of this deal if it
interest you; YOUR COMPANY`S NAME WITH COMPLETE ADDRESS,TEL AND FAX
NUMBERS.(if available) THE NAME OF YOUR BANK,ITS ADDRESS WITH TEL,FAX AND
TELEX NUMBERS. THE ACCOUNT NUMBER THE
COMPLETE MAILING ADDRESS OF THE BENEFICIARY WITH TELEPHONE AND FAX NUMBERS.
Upon the receipt of this informations,application for claim will be sent to
you to fill and return back to the organization in pursuit of the claim
legally and then be forwarded to the organization for ratification and
subsequent payment. As with the case of all organized (sensitive)and
conspired DEALS,we solicit for your unreserved confidentiality and utmost
secret in this business. We hope to retire peacefully and lead honorable
business life afterward s.There are no risks involved.
Kindly expedite action if you are interested as we are behind schedule to
enable us utilize this golden opportunity pay out this fund immediately
which we might stand to loose, if we fail to provide a safe account for this
transfer on time at the expiration of this year Ecowas has mapped out for
payment of all their outstanding contractors and the dissolution of our
committee.Please urgency is needed as we do not know the time our
organization will start the payment hence it is necessary to start on time
to forestall any hitch while transferring the fund into your esignated
account.
Hoping to hear from you.
With regards.
Prof.Samuel Addo
