Subject: PLEASE HELP ME
From The Desk Of Dr. N'GUESSAN BERNARD
Attorney of National Bank of Cote d'Ivoire
Code:[la SIR] US$18m
Email: g_nmien@yahoo.se
This mail is from the office of the attorney to the national bank of cote d'ivoire.
I was contacted by the remittance officer of the bank in conjunction with
the cote d'ivoire national petroleum coorperation, [la sir] payment officer to look for a reliable overseas partner who will be willing to assist in recieving huge amount of money from the bank.
The amount is eighteen million dollars[usd18 million] this fund emanated from the amount meant to be paid to a company that said to have executed a contract with [la sir]. Honestly no contract was executed and
such company did not exist. [ghost company]. This fund was approved before the former petroleum minister was sacked for loss of huge some of money from [lasir] account with the national bank.
Dr. James bamba, the former oil minister is secretly involved in this deal. We had a meeting with him though he is no more the oil minister.now the federal government is planning to set up a committee to probe the former minister, that is why an urgent meeting was held to look for a reliable overseas company or individual to recieve this fund. The fund has been sent out as a consignment through a diplomatic baggage system and is tagged photographic materials. All arrangements have been concluded. We do not want to remit the fund through regular banking procedures to avoid being traced.
Do show your interest by sending your direct telephone and fax lines, your address and proof of identity with the code:[la sir usd18m] to the
attorney Dr N'GUESSAN BERNARD via email: g_nmien@yahoo.se for prompt attention.please if you are not interested do not expose us because of our job. Further details will be communicated to you as we hear from you.
Thanks,
yours faithfully,
Dr. N'GUESSAN BERNARD
