Subject: PLEASE ASSIST,
Dear friend,
I am a senior accountant with the federal ministry of aviation
in togo. I want you to assist me in transferring the sum of $26.5M (Twenty
Six Million.Five Hundred Thousand United States dollarsonly) out of togo
Africa.
I became the chief accountant of my ministry not long ago. When Iassumed
office I discovered
this money floating in my ministry's account. My investigation disclosed
that the money was meant for foreign contractors
who did some work in my ministry in the past.These foreign contractors have
since been paid in full but this money still remains
as a debt in our account books. This money camefrom contract over invoicing
and inflation of contract sum and I have decided to secretly transfer the
money out and to convert itto a private use.
However, the safest way of doing this is to transfer this money overseas on
the pretext that it is being paid to one of the foreign contractors that are
being owed by my ministry. If you will assist me, the money will be sent to
you in the guise that you did some contract jobs in my ministry. We will
apply for and secure government transfer approvals. Requirements:
1. A good bank account where this money could be transferred. This bank
account could be in your country or any other country provided that
government tax on transferred fund is reasonable.
2. An undertaking from you that you as regards to muttrust
3. Confidentiality of the business. Sharing ratio: After the transferred to
your provided bank account, you will receive 20% of the total sum
($5,300,000usd) 75% will be for me while 5% will be set aside for any
expenses that may be incurred by either you or us Duration: It may take us
about 7 to 14 days from the day we receive a bank account from you to finish
this business depending on your level of cooperation I will give you full
details when I receive your response.
Best regards
