Dear Friend,
I am Engr. Lawrence Sam, Principal audit Officer in the project and finance department of the Ghana National Petroleum Corporation (GNPC). I came to know of you in my search for a reliable and reputable person to handle a very confidential and mutually beneficial transaction. It involves the simple transfer of the sum of us$65,750,000.00 to a foreign account. It’s very important to commend you as an attorney with high repute and your wealth of experience most especially of asset protection and business law, which forms the motivation of my desire to contact you for this transaction. There were series of contracts executed by a consortium of multinationals in the oil industry in favor of the (GNPC). The original value of these contracts were deliberately over-invoiced in the sum of sixty five million, seven hundred and fifty thousand united states dollars us$65,750,000.00) which has since been approved and now ready to be transferred. Furthermore the companies that actually executed the said contrac
As a result, my colleagues and I have resolved to seek your cooperation/assistance with this transaction with the express intention of using your Business name to re profile the funds as if you were the subcontractor for which the bank will carry out the funds transfer into your account for subsequent disbursement. The catch here is the fact that we as civil servants are prohibited by the code of conduct bureau (civil service laws of republic of Ghana) from opening and/or operating foreign accounts in our names. In return, we have agreed amongst ourselves to offer you 30% of the transferred sum for accepting the challenges and responsibilities of this transaction, while 5% shall be set aside to cover all administrative expenses both sides shall incur during the processing of this transaction thereafter you shall use our share to engage in management of lucrative investments on our behalf per diem. Emphatically, the trust reposed in you at this juncture is enormous .You must equally NOTE that this transactio
In conclusion, I want you to understand that having put in over 28 years in the civil service of my country, and very near to retirement i am very much averse to having my image and career dented thus this transaction should therefore be treated with utmost confidentiality. Finally, if you feel that this email was sent to you in absurd error, and with contrary to your belief therefore we want to give you the opportunity to delete it, if otherwise however We look forward to working with you and open to any suggestions from you.
Sincerely,
Engr. Lawrence Sam
