Subject: HELLO
Dear Partner,
It is my pleasure to write you this letter on behalf of my colleagues.
We have decided to seek a confidential co-operation with you for
the execution of a transaction hereunder for the benefit of all
parties and hope you will keep it confidential because of the nature
of this business.I am the director of Audit and Project Implementation
with the Department of Mineral and Energy, two top officials and
I have in our possession an overdue payment in US funds. The said
funds represent a certain percentage of the total contract value
executed on behalf of my department by a foreign contracting firm
which we the officials over-invoiced to the amount of Fourteen Million,
Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars only (US$14,500,000.00).The
reason of inflating the original value is to divert the excess value
to a foreign bank account for our personal use. The actual contract
cost has been paid to the original contractor leaving the balance
unclaimed.
We are seeking your assistance to
front as beneficiary of the unclaimed funds as civil servants are
not allowed to operate foreign bank account. A formal application
for claim to the relevant authority and documentation to present
you/company as the beneficiary will be secured on behalf of you/company.I
have the authority of my partners involved to propose that should
you be willing to assist us in this transaction your share as compensation
will be US$3.625M (25%) while my colleagues and I will receive US$9.425M
(65%) and the balance of US$1.450M (10%) for taxation and miscellaneous
expenses incurred.
The business is 100% safe, risk and
failure proof provided you treat it with utmost confidentiality
and priority as we intend to destroy all the relevant approval documents
relating to the project once the payment is released to you/company
to avoid any trace to you or us in future. It does not matter whether
you/company does contract project as a transfer of powers will be
secured in favour of you, also your area of specialization is not
a hindrance to the successful execution of this transaction. I have
reposed my confidence in you and hope that you will not disappoint
us as we intend to conclude the transfer within 14 working days.Kindly
reply to my email address stating your complete names, your direct
telephone and fax numbers to enable me furnish you with a detailed
explanation upon your acceptance of this proposal for effective
communication.Thank you for your co-operation.
Regards
Fredrick Soto
