Dear Friend,
It is indeed with a heart of hope that I contact you in the context below. =
It is borne out of circumstances. I am a Project Cordinator with UNICEF. My=
office is saddled with the responsibility of providing humanitarian and de=
velopmental projects mostly in West African Sub-Region. It may interest you=
to know that deciding to carry out this transaction was not an easy task f=
or me, as I had to ensure that whoever I would deal with in regard to this =
transaction must be a person of high moral estate.
Early this year the amount of USD$30 Million dollars was released to my off=
ice for Rural Water/ Educational Projects in three Countries, after analysi=
s and evaluations, what we were able to expend to ensure that this projects=
were achieved comfortably amounted to only USD$22.5 million, leaving my of=
fice with a balance of USD$7.5Million, which invariably my office will have=
to return to our headquarters as unused funds after this project execution=
, I had a rethink on the whole issue, as I have worked with UNICEF for almo=
st 13 years without much to show for it. I have always been made to underst=
and that my work is based on humanitarian grounds, but I lack the basic com=
fort and luxury that comes with a normal life, besides If I return the bala=
nce to the headquarters, the top officers will reconcile the funds as being=
used in one project or the other while they keep it for their personal use=
, so based on this, I decided that the fund will be my retirement benefit, =
so in my report I did include the detail that the project funds was account=
ed for and spent on the Project, so it is on record that the whole fund was=
utilized and project was successful.
What I want you to do for me is to secure the funds in your account pending=
when I make adequate arrangement to invest it because as a Senior staff of=
the UNICEF I cannot account for such fund in my account, you can do this b=
y providing all the relevant details for remitting the balance funds into y=
our account, person details about yourself, also your Residential address a=
nd contact telephone numbers are needed, I can then draft an agreement betw=
een the both of us for our mutual interest towards the realization of this =
transaction, for your assistance and commitment to the remittance and safet=
y of the funds I am still open for negotiations also note that you will be =
responsible for the investment of this fund though with my supervision and =
advice. I expect to hear from you soonest through my email and as soon as I=
hear from you I will give you my telephone number for further discussion, =
be informed that I have put all the necessary parameters in place to actual=
ize this project and we need to keep this matter highly confidential, due t=
o my involvement and reputation as UNICEF staff.
Regards,
Dr. Peter Clegg.
