Subject: URGENT ATTENTION NEEDED!!!
Dear Sir/ Madam,
Compliments of the day to you. I am the 1st Deputy Business Manager of Elite
Ventures, a reputable company which deals with contracts involving supplies
of
machines and computer hardwares and softwares accessory to neigbouring
countries
around the continents.
Not too long ago in my department was awarded a contract worth $22.5 million
(Twenty- two million and five hundred thousand million dollars) in March
2005 to
supply machine equipments to a newly commissioned polythene factory located
in the
China.
Unfortunately, my boss passed on, and the board of directors elected a new
boss to
occupy his space after his burial in his hometown in April 2005.
Now, this newly elected boss does not know about this particular contract
file case,
so the payment of this contract was diverted into my account,but if the
company should know about the huge amount in my possession,i might be
jailed.I deceided to transfer the money to a security company in Europe.This
deposition of this money was made with a very strong written agreement and
signatory under a security code with my name as the beneficiary, and was
registered as a consignment containing photographic materials.The relevant
document to this deposited consignment are with me because all docoument was
duly signed by me before deposited with the security company.
I intend to invest this fund in any lucrative business, in your country.
I have resolved to give you 25% of the total sum for your assistance in
getting this fund moved out from the security company for investment
purposes.
If you are ready to assist me I will give you more details on the way
forward. Please send me your confidential Telephone and Fax numbers for easy
communication.
As I await your reply, your trust and confidentiality is highly solicited
for.
Please contact the 1st deputy business manager for full discusion in
details.
Kole Roa koleroa@eliteventures.org or through my private email address
koleroa@msn.com
Hope to hear from you soonest,
Regards,
Mr.Kole Roa.
