ACCOUNT PROVISION FOR USD45.5 MILLION
I am Dr.ROBERTO APPAIAH. The Chairman, Contract Awarding Committee of the ECONOMIC COMMUNITY OF WEST AFRICAN STATES (ECOWAS)with its fund Headquarters in Accra-Ghana. I got your information in a
Proffesional database when I was searching through Internet for a reliable,honest and trustworthy person to entrust this business
with.I was simply inspired and motivated to pick your contact from the many names in the list of the directory. 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 USD 45.5,000, 000.00 (Forty five 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 intentionally for the supply of hard/soft wares,
phamaceauticals/ medical items,light and heavy duty vehicles,
apparels and other administrative/logistics for the ECOMOG in
Sierra-Leone and Liberia during the Peace Keeping Projects. This
DEAL was deliberately hatched out and carefully protected with the cooperation and mandate of the Financial Director and the Secretary of the Organization.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 transfer this money out of West Africa.
This is borne out of our belief in the non-stable and porous
political nature of this sub-region. The original contractors have been duly paid by Ecowas banker through the Central bank of Ghana and Finance Ministry.The balance is suspended in the ECOWAS grand Account awaiting claims by any foreign partner of our choice to
receive the fund on our behalf Now Ecowas is intending to pay all their outstanding balance of their contractors this year as the
organization is winding up its activities since the aim of returning PEACE to the countries and the coast has been achieved. Based on the laws and ethics of employment,we as civil servants working under
this organization, are not allowed to operate/own a foreign account.
This is more reason why we needed your urgent assistance to provide an account that can sustain this fund for safe keeping and our
future 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 30% of the entire sum as
compensation, 65% will be held on trust for us while 5% will be used to defray any incidental charges and cost during the course of the transaction. This transaction will be successfully concluded within 14 days if you accord us your unalloyed and due cooperation.
You should provide the followings for immediate kick of of this deal if it interest you; YOUR COMPANY`S NAME WITH COMPLETE ADDRESS,TEL AND FAX NUMBERS.(if available) THE NAME OF YOUR BANK,ITS ADDRESS
WITH TEL,FAX AND TELEX NUMBERS. THE ACCOUNT NUMBER THE COMPLETE
MAILING ADDRESS OF THE BENEFICIARY WITH TELEPHONE AND FAX NUMBERS. Upon the receipt of this informations,application for claim will be sent to you to fill and return back to the organization in pursuit of the claim legally and then be forwarded to the organization for ratification and subsequent payment. As with the case of all
organized (sensitive)and conspired DEALS,we solicit for your
unreserved confidentiality and utmost secret in this business. We hope to retire peacefully and lead honorable business life
afterwards.
There are no risks involved . Kindly expedite action if you are
interested as we are behind schedule to enable us utilize this
golden opportunity pay out this fund immediately which we might
stand to loose, if we fail to provide a safe account for this
transfer on time at the expiration of this year Ecowas has mapped out for payment of all their outstanding contractors and the
dissolution of our committee.Please urgency is needed as we do not know the time our organization will start the payment hence it is necessary to start on time to forestall any hitch while transferring the fund into your designated account . Hoping to hear from you.
With regards.
Dr.ROBERTO APPAIAH
