Subject: WE NEED YOUR HELP REGARDING FUND TRANSFER.
Good day,
I am Dr. Henry Themba, I need your services in a confidential matter regarding money transfer. This requires a private arrangement and l want to use this opportunity to elaborate more about this transaction to you clearly for your understanding. As an Financial Controller of Senegal National Petroleum Corporation (SNPC), the promptness of this letter is anchored on our strong desire and motivation to establish a cordial business relationship with you.
In view of my position together with my colleague, we wish to have personal business relationship with an honest and trustworthy foreign firm and we felt to approach an interested foreign partner.
This amount to be transferred into your account accrued from over-invoiced contract amount for the construction of Oil Refinery Sub-Station in Senegal (Northern Region) in 2005 to expatriate companies.The contract which was originally valued for (One Hundred and Twenty Seven Million, Seven Hundred Thousand U.S. Dollars) US$127,700,000.00 was manipulated to read One hundred and fifty Six million, three hundred thousand US Dollars(US$156,300,000.00). The extra $28,600.000.00 is what we want to transfer to your account.
This contract has been completely executed and the contractors had been paid all their contract bills remaining the $28,600.000.00 USD. Since we are civil servants, we are not permitted by civil service code of conducts to operate any foreign account, hence l have contacted you. We are willing to offer you 30% of the money.
All l want from you is an assistance to receive this money into your account on our behalf.
To facilitate this payment by T.T (Telegraphic Transfer) into your bank account as the beneficiary company who handled the contract and to enable us remit this money out of Senegal.
These are the necessary requirements we needed from you to complete this transaction: -
1.Your bank Name, contact address and your account number where the money will be remitted.
2.Your bank telex, fax and telephone numbers.
3.Your private phone numbers for easy communication.
The above-mentioned particulars will be used to write LETTER OF CLAIM on behalf of your company from my ministry as the beneficiary of the fund.Already all arrangements have been made regarding the transfer of this fund pending of course the receipt of the above-mentioned particulars from you.
There is no risk involved in this transaction as the whole procedures have been mapped out and it will take only seven (7) working days to complete this transaction. Please do not hesitate to comply with my request and remember that this business should be handled secretly and confidentially, as we are prominent personnel in the government office. It is 100% risk free.
Thank you very much for your anticipated co-operation and looking forward to your earliest possible reply.
Regards.
Dr Henry Themba
