Subject: FROM MRS GRACE
ATTN: Dear Sir,=20
=20
This letter might come as a surpise to you.
Especially since we have never met or discussed before. Basically the m=
essage might sound strange , but it is factual in reality if only you ca=
re to know and participate.
=20
The truth is that I should have notified you first through a more confi=
dential means, (even if it=92s at least to respect your integrity) please=
accept my humble apology if I had caught you unwares, I franckly do not =
mean any harm in passing my goodwill message.
We are members of the Special Committee for Budget and Planning of the =
Federal Ministry of Works and Housing. This Committee is principally conc=
erned with contract appraisal and the approval of contract in order of pr=
iorities as regards capital projects of the government of C=F4te d=92Ivoi=
re. With our positions we have successfully secured for ourselves the sum=
of Fifteen Million, Five-Hunderd-Thousands Dollars(US$15.5M). This amoun=
t was accumulated from the over invoiced of duly executed contract.
=20
Hence, together with some of the top officials of the F.M.W.H-CI and th=
e Federal Minsitry of Finance. We plan to transfer this amount of money F=
ifteen Million, Five-Hunderd- Thousands Dollars( US$15.5M), into your ove=
rseas account by awarding a non existing contract from my Minstry (FMWH).=
To this effect, I decided to contact you and ask for your assistance.
=20
What we need from you Sir, is to provide a very good account in which t=
he funds will be transferred. My colleagues and I have agreed to compensa=
te the owner of the account used for the transaction with 25% of the tota=
l amount; 70% will be for our side while the remaining 5% reserved for ta=
xes and other miscallenous expenses.
It may interest you to know that last two years a similar transaction w=
as carried out with one Mr Patrice Miller, the President of Craine Intern=
ational Trade Corporation at Number 135 Esat 57=92=92 Street, 28th floor,=
New York 10022 with telephone number(212)308-7788 and telex number 67316=
89. After the agreement between both parties in which he was to take 10% =
of the money while the remaining 90% for us with all requeired documents =
signed the money was duly transferred into his account only to be disappo=
inted on our arrival in New York where we were reliably informed that Mr =
Patrice Miller was no longer on that Address, while his telephone and tel=
ex numbers have been re-allocated to somebody else. That was how we los=
t US$12M to Mr Patrice Miller.
Finally, the confidence and trust reposed on you cannot be over emphas=
ised. Therefore, you are to keep this deal to yourself confidentially
=20
Those of us involved are top officers in the Government and so we ne=
ed to treat this transaction a Top Secret for our protection and for the=
interest and smooth success of all.
=20
Contact me urgently with your details information .

Yours faithfully GRACE ALICE ROLAND.
