Dear
With due respect, I have decided to contact you in
this peculiar matter believing that you will not let
down the trust and confidence that I and my colleagues
are about to repose in you.
For a brief introduction, I am MR BELLO OASSI the
Deputy Accountant of the Cote DIvoire Societe
Ivoirienne de Raffinage (S.I.R) here in Abidjan and
also a member of the contract awarding committee for
the rehabilitation and reconstruction of the country?s
refinery that had a fire disaster last year October.
I was mandated by my colleagues to look for a reliable
and trustworthily foreigner who?s account will be use
to transfer some huge sum of money, a total sum of
US$22,500,000,00 (twenty two million five hundred
thousand united sates dollars) only, out of the
country for our personally use.
This money was realised from over inflated contracts
which the contract awarding committee awarded to some
foreign contractors for the rehabilitation and
reconstruction of the refinery and the network
pipeline.
The contracts was awarded to the contractors to the
tune of US$42,Million, but we used our positions and
over invoiced the amount to the tune of US$62.5
Million.
Now that the project has been concluded and
contractors are now coming for their payments, we now
required a reliable and trustworthily person, whom
will be use as a sub-contractor and claim the over
invoiced amount of US$22.5 Million, which has also
been approved for payment and use his foreign account
transfer this fund from the paying bank here in
Abidjan, this necessitated my contacting you.
Be informed that my colleagues and I have mapped out
all the necessary modalities towards the claim of this
fund, but due to our position we do not want to be
noticed.
A service of an attorney will be use to secure the
registration certificate as your sister?s company here
in Abidjan, to it back dated enable us reflect your
name as one of the contractors, for board to raise a
payment draft covering the fund in your favour.
The contact of the attorney will be forwarded to you
immediately you notify your interest in this proposal,
by sending the name and address of your company and
your bank particulars.
Be informed also that your presence will be needed
here in Abidjan to enable us have a meeting with you,
to know you very well, discuss and agreed on some
vital joint venture investments which you are to
manage for us, since we are still in service .
We agreed that 10% of the total fund will be given to
you to cover your travelling cost, accommodation and
some other expenses you might incure, 40% will be used
to go into joint venture investment with you, which
will be supervised by your person, of which the yearly
profit will be shared equally by all parties involved,
while the remaining 50% of the total fund will be for
me and three of my colleagues.
Be rest assured of this transaction and keep it
confidential, because of our positions in Government
and also our committee is fully in charge of all
contracts verifications, allocation and approval.

stated mail box.
Expecting your immediate response.
