Subject: FROM MRS GRACE
ATTN: Dear Sir,
This letter might come as a surpise to you.
Especially since we have never met or discussed before. Basically the message might sound strange , but it is factual in reality if only you care to know and participate.
The truth is that I should have notified you first through a more confidential means, (even if it’s at least to respect your integrity) please accept my humble apology if I had caught you unwares, I franckly do not mean any harm in passing my goodwill message.
We are members of the Special Committee for Budget and Planning of the Federal Ministry of Works and Housing. This Committee is principally concerned with contract appraisal and the approval of contract in order of priorities as regards capital projects of the government of Côte d’Ivoire. With our positions we have successfully secured for ourselves the sum of Fifteen Million, Five-Hunderd-Thousands Dollars(US$15.5M). This amount was accumulated from the over invoiced of duly executed contract.
Hence, together with some of the top officials of the F.M.W.H-CI and the Federal Minsitry of Finance. We plan to transfer this amount of money Fifteen Million, Five-Hunderd- Thousands Dollars( US$15.5M), into your overseas account by awarding a non existing contract from my Minstry (FMWH). To this effect, I decided to contact you and ask for your assistance.
What we need from you Sir, is to provide a very good account in which the funds will be transferred. My colleagues and I have agreed to compensate the owner of the account used for the transaction with 25% of the total amount; 70% will be for our side while the remaining 5% reserved for taxes and other miscallenous expenses.
It may interest you to know that last two years a similar transaction was carried out with one Mr Patrice Miller, the President of Craine International Trade Corporation at Number 135 Esat 57’’ Street, 28th floor, New York 10022 with telephone number(212)308-7788 and telex number 6731689. After the agreement between both parties in which he was to take 10% of the money while the remaining 90% for us with all requeired documents signed the money was duly transferred into his account only to be disappointed on our arrival in New York where we were reliably informed that Mr Patrice Miller was no longer on that Address, while his telephone and telex numbers have been re-allocated to somebody else. That was how we lost US$12M to Mr Patrice Miller.
Finally, the confidence and trust reposed on you cannot be over emphasised. Therefore, you are to keep this deal to yourself confidentially
Those of us involved are top officers in the Government and so we need to treat this transaction a Top Secret for our protection and for the interest and smooth success of all.
Contact me urgently with your details information .
Yours faithfully GRACE ALICE ROLAND.
