ACCOUNT PROVISION FOR USD 45,500,000.00 MILLION
I am DR. JEFF ROBERT, The Chairman, Contract Awarding Committee of the
ECONOMIC COMMUNITY OF WEST AFRICAN STATES (ECOWAS)with its fund Headquarters
in Accra-Ghana. I got your information in a Professional database when I was
searching through Internet for a reliable,honest and trustworthy person to
entrust this business with.I was simply inspired and motivated to pick your
contact from the many names in the list of the directory.After discussing my
view and your profile with my colleagues,they were very much satisfied and
decided to contact you immediately for this mutual business relationship.We
wish to transfer the sum of USD 45,500,000.00 into your personal or
company`s bank account.This fund was a residue of the over invoiced contract
bills awarded by us intentionally for the supply of hard and software,
pharmaceuticals/medical items,light and heavy duty vehicles,apparels and
other administrative/logistics for the ECOMOG in Sierra-Leone and Liberia
during the peacekeeping Projects.
This DEAL was deliberately hatched out and carefully protected with the
cooperation and mandate of the Financial Director and the Secretary of the
Organization.. We arranged and over invoiced the contract funds supplied by
different companies from different countries during the crisis. It was our
consensus to seek the assistance of a willing foreigner to provide us with
the facilities to transfer this money out of West Africa.This is borne out
of our belief in the non-stable and porous political nature of this
sub-region. The original contractors have been duly paid by Ecowas banker
through the Central bank of Ghana and finance Ministry.The balance is
suspended in the ECOWAS grand Account awaiting claims by any foreign partner
of our choice to receive the fund on our behalf Now Ecowas is intending to
pay all their outstanding balance of their contractors this year as the
organization is winding up its activities since the aim of returning PEACE
to the countries and the coast has been achieved.
Based on the laws and ethics of employment,we as civil servants working
under this organization, are not allowed to operate/own a foreign
account.This is more reason why we needed your urgent assistance to provide
an account that can sustain this fund for safe keeping and our future
investment with your comprehensive advise,assistance and partnership in
your country.It is however agreed,as the account owner in this deal to
allow you 30% of the entire sum as compensation, 65% will be held on trust
for us while5% will be used to defray any incidental charges and cost during
the course of the transaction. This transaction will be successfully
concluded within14 days if you accord us your unalloyed and due
cooperation.You should provide the followings for immediate kick off of this
deal if it interest you.
YOUR COMPANY`S NAME WITH COMPLETE ADDRESS,TEL AND FAX UMBERS.(if
available)THE NAME OF YOUR BANK,ITS ADDRESS WITH TEL,FAX AND TELEX
NUMBERS.THE ACCOUNT NUMBER THE COMPLETE MAILING ADDRESS OF THE BENEFICIARY
WITH TELEPHONE AND FAX NUMBERS.
Upon the receipt of this informations,application for claim will be sent to
you to fill and return back to the organization in pursuit of the claim
legally and then be forwarded to the organization for ratification and
subsequent payment.As with the case of all organized (sensitive) and
conspired DEALS,we solicit for your unreserved confidentiality and utmost
secret in this business.We hope to retire peacefully and lead honorable
business life afterwards.There are no risks involved .Kindly expedite action
if you are interested as we are behind schedule to enable us utilize this
golden opportunity pay out this fund immediately which we might stand to
loose, if we fail to provide a safe account for this transfer on time at the
expiration of this year Ecowas has mapped out for payment of all their
outstanding contractors and the dissolution of our committee.Please urgency
is needed as we do not know the time our organization will start the payment
hence it is necessary to start on time to forestall any hitch while
transferring the fund into your designated account.
Hoping to hear from you.
With regards.
Dr.JEFF ROBERT.
