Subject: I NEED YOUR COOPERATION
Hello:
Good day! With all due respect, I guess my letter will not embarrass you, since I have no previous correspondence with you. I strongly believed I would not regret approaching you in this matter.
It is my great pleasure to introduce myself to you. I am Mr. Joseph Kufuor, a senior Civil servant and the committee chairman for foreign contract valuation committee, under the ministry of works and housing here in Ghana.
I am wishing to introduce my business deal proposal to you if it will be of any interest to you. We are presently reviewing and valuating already executed contracts for the past African Cup of Nations Cup 2008 held here in Ghana. In doing so, I as the committee chairman with a trusted colleague has carefully mapped out a ghost executed contract for the supply and installation of the stadium seats and lighting the stadiums during that time. The value of the contract is $32,000,000, which was completely executed and due for the final payment of the 75% after raising valuation report, which is $24,000,000.
Why I am imploring you in this, is because the foreigner we were running this deal with unfortunately died in a ghastly motor accident one month after being paid the first mobilization of 25% which was $8,000,000 which we were unable to get anything from his family as they were unaware of the transaction and this has left us quite handicapped and we need to complete this with someone we can rely on because the government is preparing payment vouchers for the executed contracts, considering the fact that the tenure of the government will be over by December this year.
In view of this I got your contact through my random search in the Internet, to see if you can assist by providing a safe bank account for the transfer or find a reliable person who will be capable of receiving such amount.
Would you be interested in my proposal, kindly respond and indicate interest so we can work on the paper works to short list you amongst the contractors, using you as the co director to the deceased contractor we were using. My colleague and I are ready to be very open and fair in this business because we are getting ready for retirement. We are willing to share this money 30% for you and 10% for miscellaneous and 60% for us.
Understand that the contractual payment will be transferred into only foreign account as it is a foreign contractual payment. Your confidentiality is high needed in this business.
Sincerely Yours,
Mr. Joseph Kufuor.
