CONTRACTORS WERE FULLY PAID THEIR
ENTITLEMENTS AFTER EXECUTING THE SAID CONTRACTS.
WE ALL AGREED THAT THE OVER INVOICED AMOUNT BE TRANSFERRED (FOR OUR OWN USE)

(FIVE MILLION AMERICAN DOLLARS ONLY) INTO A FOREIGN ACCOUNT IN GENEVA
(SWITZERLAND) LAST WEEK, BUT UNFORTUNATELY THE PROVIDER OF THE ACCOUNT HAS
SEVERED ALL FORMS OF CONTRACTS WITH US AS HE HAS REFUSED TO ADHERE TO OUR
EARLIER MUTURAL AGREEMENT INSISTING THAT THE TOTAL
AMOUNT BE PAID INTO HIS NOMINATED BANK ACCOUNT BEFORE DISBURSEMENT WILL
TAKE EFFECT, IF FOR US$5M.
MILLION (FIVE MILLION ONLY) WE ARE NOT COMPENSATED, HOW CAN ONE GUARANTEE
FULL COMPENSATION ON REMITTANCE OF THE BALANCE OF US$40M (FORTY MILLION
AMERICAN DOLLARS
ONLY) WE ARE THEREFORE SEEKING YOUR ASSISTANCE BASED ON THE BALANCE AMOUNT
OF US$40M WHICH CAN BE SPEEDILY PROCESSED AND FULLY REMITTED INTO YOUR
NOMINATED BANK
ACCOUNT ON SUCCESSFUL REMINTTANCE OF THE FUND INTO YOUR ACCOUNT, YOU WILL BE
COMPENSATED WITH 25% OF THE AMOUNT FOR ASSISTANCE AND SERVICES AND 5% SET

PERCENT) 100% RISK FREE. WE WILL AVAIL YOU WITH OUR INDENTITIES AS REGARDS
