Subject: Attention
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am an Administrative Staff of Eleme Refining & Petrochemical Co. Ltd and I
represent a group that is interested in engaging your service as
Investment Manager and humanitarian purposes of a large volume of fund.
The intended business is thus; there was an over-inflated contract that was
executed for the Department for Petroleum Resources (DPR) worth $32 million
which has been lying fallow since the original contractor has been paid
leaving the over-inflated amount which was done by this group I am
representing. They are in charge of the accounts and finance section
including the auditing department and have perfected all documents to back
up he payment as to avoid any trace whatsoever which makes the transaction
100% risk free.
The issue of the kind of service I request from you would be that I need
your assistance in receiving the amount of $32m and thereafter you invest it
for a period of 2 years.
Secondly, you would be entitled to 25% of the total fund in question as the
fund manager while 5% will be set aside for any sundry expenses incurred by
both parties in the course of this transaction.
Meanwhile, I believe that you would be able to handle this project.
Trustworthiness and confidentially should be our watch word so as to protect
their highly exalted positions without denting their image and person in
this regard. I really need your assurance and I want you to give me your
maximum co-operation as far as this project is concerned.
I have a wife with seven children, four girls, three boys and I want to
ensure that their future is secured financially with this project;
therefore, you can understand my position towards this issue. It will be
appreciated if you could tell me more about yourself.
Also, a working agreement paper would be drafted to this effect and signed
by both parties before the processing of the payment via the relevant
authorities and subsequent effecting of the payment into the account
coordinate that you would provide for this purpose.
If this proposal is acceptable to you, please get back to me, so that we can
work out the procedure for the execution of this transaction.
Please reach me strictly via my e-mail: yibokoko@quick.cz together with your
private telephone number for easy communication.
Yours truly,
Fiberesima Yibokoko
