Dear respected one,
How are you and your family today? Well my name is Mr. David Penny chairman of contract award and monitoring committee of the ministry of industry and international trade development, my duty as empowered by the Mauritius government is to provide the basic amenities, social recreational activities in urban and rural areas.
This program includes assistance to deprived local communities and to co-ordinate projects and development at the national level, furthermore, from this projects we have been able to secured some Reasonable amount of twenty one million eight hundred thousand united state dollars only as commission from various contractors resulting from over invoicing ,hence all the necessary approvals has been completed.
This approved fund was packaged and dispatched through a security company for onward delivery to its Destination in Europe. These funds was first deposited into a security vault before we arrange for its movement to Europe through diplomatic channel using decoy purporting that the fund belongs to an expatriate/company. As we are government officials, we are not allowed to operate foreign bank account, hence we need you to stand as the beneficiary and claim the fund on our behalf from the security. You should bear in mind that the security company does not know the content of the consignment since the consignment was deposited as family valuables and tagged as a English gold but valued at twenty one million eight hundred thousand united state dollars.
Presently I am now in Europe to search for a reliable person/company of high integrity /dignity and one with conscience who will claim this fund on our behalf as the beneficiary, and we have agreed that the sharing modalities will be discussed after remittance of the funds into safe account of your choice. I look forward to your response as soon as possible.
Best regards,
David Penny.
