Dear friend,
I am Mr. Issac .E Kuffia the director, in charge of
Auditing and Accounting sector of Contract Awarding
Committee of west African Economic monitoring
Authority Accra-Ghana in west Africa.
During our investigation and auditing in (WEMA) my
department discovered a huge sum of money that was
prepaid and Un-recorded for in the books of Accounts.
We discovered that it has been floating since 1997
through 2001 in finance and security company. This is
found out to be over influence on contract payments.
Personally the information is kept secret by me and my
partner to enable the whole plan and ideas profitable
and successful during the time of execution. The said
amount was USD $14,000,000(fourteen
millionU.S.dollars).
As it may interest you to know, I got your impressive
search while going through chamber of commerce in
foreign business relations here in Accra-Ghana. He
personally recommended your contacts from the chambers
to me to be viable and capable to champion a business
of such magnitude without any probable.
Meanwhile the whole arrangements to put claim over
this fund, as a payment of contract executed since it
cannot be withdrawn locally, gets the regard approval
and transfer this money to a foreign account, has been
put in place and directives and needed information
will be relayed to you as soon as you indicate your
interest and willingness to assist us and also benefit
yourself to this great business opportunity. In fact I
could have done this alone but because of my position
in this country as a civil servant we are not allowed
to operate a foreign account and would eventually
raise an eyebrow on my side during the time of
transfer because I work in this ministry.
This is the actual reason why it will require a second
partor fellow, who will forward claim as the
contractor and also present a foreign account where
the money would be transferred into as a payment for
contract executed as it may be after due verification
by designation board. I would not fail to inform you
that this transaction is 100% risk-free. On smooth
conclusion of this transaction, you would be entitled
to 25% sum as gratification ,while 5% will be set
aside to take care of expenses that may arise during
the time of transfer and also telephone bills, while
70% will be for me and my partners. Please, you have
been advise to keep top-secret as we are still in
service and intend to retire from service after we
conclude this deal with you.
I will be monitoring the whole situation here in this
ministry until you confirm the money in your account,
and ask us to come down to your country for subsequent
sharing according to percentages. Previously indicated
and further investment either in your country or any
other country you advise to invest in. All other
necessary information will be sent to you when I hear
from you.
I suggest you get back to me as soon as possible
stating your wish in this deal, by calling my direct
number for more clearifications...+233-243 645 177or
