*Dear Sir,Madam*
*This is important, and requires your immediate
attention! First, I must solicit your strictest
confidence in the transaction.
To intimate you further, we are top officials of
the new civilian administration Committee on Foreign
and Local Contract Payment, who are interested in the
importation of goods into our country with funds
which are presently trapped in Senegal. In order to
actualize this dream, we seek your assistance to
transfer the said-trapped fund into an interest
bearing account which you have absolute control over
in your country or a third country other than
Senegal.
The new civilian administration set-up this committee specifically to
review all contracts/oil licenses to determine their
propriety and relevance in the light of the country's
current economic and political realities. We have
identified a lot of inflated contract fund which are
currently floating in our Apex Bank. At this moment
we have worked out modalities within ourselves and
some acquaintances at the Apex Bank to divert the
sum of US$31,000,000.00 (Thirty one million, United
States Dollars) only, for our personal use.
However, by virtue of our positions as Civil
Servants and members of the Contract Review Panel,
we cannot acquire this money in our names,
consequently, I was delegated by my colleagues as a
matter of trust to look for an overseas partner into
whose account we can transfer this sum of money,
hence this letter to you.
Furthermore, my colleagues and I are willing to
transfer the total sum of US$31,0000.00 (Thirty one
Million, United States Dollars) into your account
for disbursement. Your areas of specialization is
not a hindrance to the successful execution of this
transaction and the account required for this
project can either be PERSONAL, COMPANY or an
OFFSHORE account you have total control over.
Needless to say, the trust reposed on you at this
juncture is enormous. In return, we have agreed to
offer you 20% of this sum while 10% shall be set
aside for incidental expenses between the parties in
the course of this transaction. You must however
note that this transaction is subject to the
following terms and
conditions: -
(a) Our conviction of your transparent honesty
and diligence
(b) That you would treat this transaction with
utmost secrecy and confidentiality.
(c) That the funds would be transferred to an
account where you have absolute control over.
(d) That one of our representatives will be
with you in your country to represent our interest.
This however depends on your response to conditions
A and C above.
Modalities have been worked out to the highest
level for the immediate transfer of the funds within
14 working days subject to your satisfaction of the
above stated terms. Our assurance is that your role
is RISK FREE. To accord this transaction the
legality it deserves and for mutual security of the
funds, the whole approval procedures will be
officially and legally processed with your name or
the name of any company you may nominates as the
bonafied beneficiary.
Once more, I want you to understand that having put
over 23 years in the civil service of my country, I am
averse to having my image, and career dented. This
matter should be treated with utmost secrecy and
urgency. Kindly expedite action as we are behind
schedule to enable us include this transfer in this
batch as payments to foreign contractors is usually
carried out on quarterly basis. Contact me on my private
e-mail address,
