Subject: LET US NEGOTIATE ON THIS ISSUE

Dear friend ,

Please lets negotiate on this issue ,

I am very sorry to disturb you ,and this letter would have been sent via post but due its urgency I decided to send it through email as its faster.
I am a known government contractor with the Government Republic of Ghana. I have been handling contract projects there for some years until the change of Government which affect my contract business cause I have to support whoever to get my contract jobs. Overwhelming circumstances has forced me to expose my problems to you irrespective of the fact that we have not met before. I used my position in Government to secure a contract worth of huge amount for my Company.
This contract was funded from the company treasury, from my savings and a fund borrowed from friends and relations to ensure that the contract was completed and duly executed since last year . I have been handling contract projects there until the political change of Government in my country last 2years.
My main purpose of writing this letter to you is to inform you of the existence of my contract fund which we urgently want you as a foreign partner to lodge in his account. This fund is neither an ill gotten sum nor drug proceeds. It is a contractual sum which I will not apply for payment in my name or claim because our names were short listed as supporters of the last civilian Government of President John A.Kuffo. Now especially I have a good friend as an insider from the paying bank who advised me to seek in confidence of any reliable person or firm whom I can trust to receive the payment in his name since they will not accept to release payment in my name.
There is no risk involved provided you keep it strictly confidential. Details of this deal will be given to you in full as soon as I receive your reply indicating you’re to accommodate the contract fund. I intend to be in Ghana to be giving you necessary information until the transaction is completed. Please note: I am not alone. There are some top bank officials in Ghana that have interest and will help for smooth wire transfer of the said fund to your designated bank account where you intend to receive the money.
So be assured that it is 100% risk free.

Please note that we have (7) bank work day to conclude this transaction.

I have agreed that you are worth 20% of the total said fund. After the receipt of the money, you will send back 50% to be used to finance the gold delivery to the buyers address . 10% would be used to pack back my debts in Ghana and 20% for me.

While I await your immediate reply urgently via telephone or email,

Yours friend,
Alma Ofori
