Subject: EUROPEAN UNION CONTRACT'S PROPOSAL .
OFFICE OF THE CHAIRMAN,
CONTRACT AWARDING COMMITTEE:
EUROPEAN UNION CONSTRUCTION
CONTRACT.
BURKINA FASO.
in West Africa.
ATTN: DIRECTOR/CEO,
DEAR SIR,
I am Mr.KaboreThe Chairman, Contract Awarding Committee of the EUROPEAN
UNION CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT( ECC) in BURKINA FASO West Africa.
I got your information in a business directory from the Burkina Faso Chamber
of Commerce and Industries, when I was searching for a reliable, honest and
trust worthy person to entrust this business with. I was simply inspired and
motivated to pick your contact from the directory. After discussing my view
and your profile with my colleagues, they were very much satisfied and
decided to contact you immediately for this mutual business relationship.
We wish to transfer the sum of USD$36.000,000.00 (Thirty Six million United
States Dollars only.) into your personal or company's bank account. This
fund was a residue of the over invoiced contract bills awarded by us for the
supply of equiment,hard/soft wares, pharmaceuticals/medical items relating
to constructing tool's, light and heavy duty vehicles, apparels and other
administrative logistics etc for the Burkina Faso Projects.
This DEAL was deliberately hatched out and carefully protected with all the
attendant loop holes sealed off. As the Chairman of CAC, I have the
cooperation and mandate of the Financial Director and the Secretary of the
Organisation. We arranged and over invoiced the contract funds supplied by
different companies from different countries. It was our consensus to seek
the assistance of a willing foreigner to provide us with the facilities to
transfer this money out of Burkina Faso. This is borne out of our belief in
the non-stable and sporous political nature of this sub-region.
The original contractors have been duly paid by the Bank of Africa
Ouaga-Burkina-Faso in West Africa. (Bank of Africa, Ouaga-Burkina-Faso in
West Africa). through our bankers - Societe Generale Banque. This balance is
suspended in the escrow accounts awaiting claims by any foreign company of
our choice. We intend to pay out this fund NOW as the organization is
winding up its activities and the coast has been achieved.
Based on the laws and ethics of employment, we as civil servants working
under this organization, are not allowed to operate a foreign account. This
is the more reason why we needed your assistance to provide an account that
can sustain this fund for safe keeping and our future investment with your
comprehensive advise, assistance and partnership in your country. It is
however agreed, as the account owner in this deal to allow you 30% of the
entire sum as compensation, 60% will be held on trust for us while 10% will
be used to defray any incidental charges and cost during the course of the
transaction. This transaction will be successfully concluded within 14 days
if you accord us your unalloyed and due cooperation. You should provide the
followings;
YOUR COMPANY'S
NAME WITH COMPLETE ADDRESS,
TEL AND FAX NUMBERS. (if available)
THE NAME OF YOUR BANK,
ITS ADDRESS WITH TEL,
FAX AND TELEX NUMBERS AND YOUR THE ACCOUNT NUMBER. THE COMPLETE MAILING
ADDRESS OF THE BENEFICIARY WITH TELEPHONE AND FAX NUMBERS.
Upon the receipt of this information, the documents and approval with the
texts will be sent to you for confirmation and then forwarded to the
organization for ratification and subsequent payment. As with the case of
all organized (sensitive) and conspired DEALS, we solicit for your
unreserved confidentiality and utmost secret in this business. We hope to
retire peacefully and lead a honourable business life afterwards. There are
no risks involved regards in this business. I sugest you reply me back for
more intimate and detailed discussions.
Yours Faithfully.
Halidou Kabore
