Subject: [** SPAM **] Important Business Discussion

MINISTRY OF WATER RESOURCES,
WORKS AND HOUSING
POB M43 ACCRA

Dear President/C.E.O,


I request for your indulgence to open this business discussion by a formal letter of this sort. It is pertinent that a business of this magnitude should have commenced properly with a formal meeting of you and us to enable us know ourselves, have a fore knowledge of the nature of the business, discuss and acquaint ourselves with the responsibilities and functions of parties concerned, and appropriate shares accordingly.

However, for time factor, confidentiality and personality of people involved here in Ghana, we choose this approach for the remittance of the Forty Three Million U.S. Dollars (US$43M). Please bear with us for making the initial contact through e-mail. But my partners are insisting for a meeting in order not to fall into a wrong hand. I am Dr. John Buba Kwabeya, we are members of the special committee for Budget and Planning of the Ministry Petroleum. This committee is principally concerned with contract appraisal and the approval of the contracts in order of priorities as regards capital projects of the past Government of Ghana, with our positions; we have successfully secured for ourselves this sum of Forty three Million U.S. Dollars (US$43M). This amount was accumulated through over invoice inflated on a contract signed in 2009 with a Korean engineering and construction company which the name is withheld at the moment for our security reason.

Hence together with two of our top officials at the Ghana National Petroleum Company (GNPC) and I with Ghana National Housing Project (GNHP), we plan to transfer this amount of money into a secure overseas account by awarding a sort of contract from the GNPC. To this effect I have been given the mandate by my colleagues to contact you and ask for your assistance. What we need from you is to provide a nice account in which the funds will be transferred.

My colleagues and I have agreed to compensate you or the owner of the account used for this transaction with 30% of the total amount emitted and we shall have the 70%.

We need a reliable and trustworthy person or a reputable company to do business with and that is the reason I send this letter to you. So if you can prove yourself to be trusted and interested in this deal then we are prepared to do business with you. What we want from you is the assurance that you will not go contrary with the sharing ratio after completion when this amount (US$43 Million) is transferred into your account. If this proposal is okay by you, then reply through my email urgently so that we can set the all rolling and negotiate the modalities involved.

Kindly, treat as very important and strictly confidential, I honestly assure you that this transaction is 100% risk-free. I look forward to your response and expected honesty in cooperation.


Regards,
Dr. John Buba
