Subject: Business Proposal, Strictly Confidential
Attn, Sir/Madam.
I am chief Akim Christopher, the chief accountant to the Contract Award and Monitoring Committee (C.A.M.C.) in Ghana Shell Petroleum Corporation (GSPC). I got your personal name and address through a trusted friend of yours, although I did not disclose my real purpose to him, I only requested
from him to recommend a trustworthy international business partner whom I can trust from your country and go into a confidential business relationship with the fellow.
Sometime in 1996, a contract was awarded by my committee to a conglomerate of foreign companies attached to the GSPC. The contract was over-invoiced to the sum of $30million (Thirty million United States Dollars) this was done deliberately; the over-invoicing was a deal by members of my committee
to benefit from the project.
We now desire to transfer this money which is presently in a suspense account of the GSPC with the Bank of Ghana into an overseas account which we expect you to provide to us because as civil servant we are not allowed to open and have any foreign bank account hence we need you to stand and
receive the above sum as the contractor / beneficiary.
Your Benefit: For providing the account where we shall remit the money and for your assistance in this project you will be entitled to 35% of the total fund, 60% will be for my partner and me and 10% is for 10% is for foreign expenses. On your acceptance of this proposal, I would require urgently
the following information from you; 1) Your name and address ,your private telephone and fax numbers for easy communication. 2) Your Bank Name & Address Where Payment Should Be Emitted. 3) Swift code and routing number (If available with you).
The above informations will be used to make official application for the release of the money into your account as the beneficiary. It does not matter whether or not your company does project of this nature as described here or not.
The assumption is that you won a Major contract and sub-contracted it out to other companies. More often than not big trading companies of firms with major contracts for Ghana Government through their deep connections, and sublets it out to more specialized firms for execution of such contracts.
Be assured we have strong connections at the Bank of Ghana and the federal ministry of Finance and we have no doubt that all this will be released and transferred into your account within 11 working days if we get the necessary support and co-operation from you as our foreign partner.
And as soon as the whole amount is confirmed inside your account, we shall use our position in government to withdraw all documents to avoid any reference to this transaction now or in future; hence this project is 100% risk free. If this proposal is acceptable to you as I expect, urgently
contact me through my private email address for more details.
I wait to hear from you urgently
Thank you,
Yours faithfully,
Chief Akim Christopher.
