Subject: Asisstance please.
Dear ,
My name is Mrs Elizbeth Panou, I am a top civil servant in a governmental agency responsible for social services. I am priviledged to classified files.
In 2001, a contract was awarded by my government to a joint German/Finnish engineering firm for urban roads rehabilitation and construction. The actual contract worth was $10million. The contract was successfully executed.
The firm has been paid and they have since packed up their construction rigs and left the country.
However the contract sum was overestimated by $9million, and this very sum my two collegues and I are desirous to move out of the country now. I was making discreet search fora capable foreign partner and I came across your contact, hence this. Please let me know if you are willing to assist.
You will be well compensated as we have maped out 30% of the total sum aqs your share. I wait to hear favourably from you.
Best regards
Mrs, Elizbeth
