Dear friend,

ACCOUNT PROVISION FOR USDM. 10.5M

Forgive my indignation if this message comes to you as a surprise and if it
might offend you without your prior consent and writing through this
channel.

I am Mr Moses Fakude ,The Chairman,Contract Awarding Committee of the
ECONOMIC COMMUNITY OF WEST AFRICAN STATES ( ECOWAS)with Headquarters in
LOME, TOGO .I got your information in a business WEB DIRECTORY when I was
searching for a reliable,honest and trustworthy person to entrust this
business with.I was simply inspired and motivated to piick on your company.

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 USD10.500,000.00 (Ten
Million Five hundred thousand 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 ammunitions,hard/soft wares,phamaceauticals/medical
items,light and heavy duty vehicles, apparals and other administrative
logistics etc for the ECOMOG in Sierria-Leone and Liberia during the Peace
Keeping Projects.

This DEAL was deliberately hatched out and carefully protected with all the
attendant lope 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 during the crisis.

It was our consensus to seek the assistance of a willing foreigner to
provide us with the facilities to recieve this fund on my behalf from it's
custody through the cash payment office in DUBAI MIDDLEEAST .This is borne
out of our beleif in the non-stable and sporous political nature of this
sub-region.
The original contractors have been duely paid by the Banque Centrale Des
Etats De L`Afrique De L`Ouest(Central Bank of the West African States)
through our bankers-Societe Generale Banque.

This balance is suspended in a cash DEPOSIT FORM IN DUBAI awaiting claims by
any foreign company of our choice. We as civil servants working under this
organisation, are not allowed to operate a foreign account,this is why we
choose to recieve the fund through thecsh payment center in DUBAI.

This is the more reason why we needed your assistance to COME OVER to DUBAI
recieve thisfund on my behalf for 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 40% of the entire sum as
compensation,60% will be held on trust by you until i come to meet with you
.

This transaction will be successfully concluded within 14 days if you accord
us your unalloyed and due cooperation.

YOUR COMPANY NAME WITH COMPLETE ADDRESS,Or YOUR PRIVATE NAME WITH COMPLETE
ADDRESS, TEL AND FAX
NUMBERS, the name of your bank its address, TEL/FAX AND
TELEX NUMBER. THE COMPLETE MAIL ADDRESS OF THE
BENEFICIARY.

Upon the receipt of this informations,the documents with the texts will be
sent to you for confirmaton and then forwarded to the organisation for
ratification and subsequent payment.As with the case of all organised
(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.

REPLY ASAP. With regards.

Mr Moses Fakude ECOWAS CHAIRMAN
