Attention: President/Director,
I am the chairman of the contract award committee of the Gold and Natural
resources ministry here in Dakar Senegal, for security reasons, I may not
wish to disclose the most important thing for now until I hear from you.
After due deliberation with my partner, I decided to forward to you this
business proposal, we want you to assist us receive the sum of Twenty eight
million, six hundred thousand united state bills ($28.6M) into your account.
This fund resulted from an over-invoiced contract awarded by us under the
budget allocation to my ministry and the bill was approved for payment
by the concerned ministries. The contract was executed, commissioned and
the contractor was paid his actual cost of the contract. Now, we are left
with the balance of $28.6M as the over invoiced amount, which we have deliberately
over estimated for our own use.
Please note that the law forbids civil servants to operate or own foreign
accounts hence this contact, we have agreed to share the money in the following
percentages: 30 for you, 60 for us 10 for tax as may be required by your
government, because we don?t need anything will delay this money when it
arrive in your bank account.
Note that this transaction is very much free from all sorts of risk hence
the business was carefully planned before it was successfully executed and
we the officials involved in the deal have put many years in service to
our ministry.
We have been exercising patience for this privilege for so long not until
the presidential announcement last week, that all foreign
contractors owed be paid forthwith, this will enable the presidency reconcile
our debt ratio with the outside world and to most of us, this is a lifetime
blessing we cannot afford to miss.
Upon indication of your interest to fully co-operate with us, a payment
application/information form will be sent to you via email for completion.
Note that the following information: your private phone number and email
address willenable us seek/secure approval of the fund from the concerned
government quarters/ministries within 3-4 banking days.
As soon as we confirm receipt of this money in your nominated bank account,
my partner and I will come over to your country to arrange for our own share
and possibly invest part of this money in your country. Let honesty and
trust be our watchword throughout this transaction.
I shall furnish you with some details about myself. Your prompt reply will
be highly appreciated to my private email marlickadward220@myway.com,
Best regards.
Engr.Marlick Adawrd.
