Subject: Attention! VICTIMNAME
good day
I am Dr.wislon adu, the Chairman, Contract Awarding
And Tender Committee of Economic Community of West
African states with sub-head in Accra Ghana.
I wish to transfer the sum of (fourty-five million
united State dollars) US$45,000,000.00 to your personal or
Company Account.
This fund originated from over invoiced Contract bills
I awarded for the supply of Food and Medical
Equipment to the Ecomog peacekeeping mission during
Liberia and sierra-Leone civil wars.
This over Invoiced sum was deliberately hatched out
and carefully protected with all attendant lope holes
Sealed off.
The original executors of the contracts have been paid
through Eco Bank. This over invoiced sum is suspended in
an escrow account awaiting claims by any foreign person/company
I may front as the owner.
Based On the law and ethics of our service to ECOWAS,
we as Civil servants are not allowed to operate a foreign
Account.
I offer you 35%, 60% for me, while 5% is set aside to
reimburse expenses incurred in the project.
I expect you to keep this project very confidential as
disclosing it might jeopardize our success. There is
no risk involved.
Call me for more details on the procedure via my
mobile line, +233-243 70 70 89
Best regards,
Dr.wislon adu
