Subject: ecowas fm
From : The Ecowas Task force OfficeGeneral C. A OKAE (RTD)Director of Defense and SecurityLome Togo West Africa.www.ecowas.int/ips/ii/security/home.htmAttention: Sir,Partnership InvestmentForgive my indignation if this message comes to you as a surprise and if it might offend you without your prior consent and writing through this channel. I am General C. A OKAE (RTD), The Director of Defense and Security of the ECONOMIC COMMUNITY OF WEST AFRICAN STATES ( ECOWAS) with Headquarters in Lome Togo. I got your information in a business directory of your country when I was searching for a reliable, honest and trustworthy person or company to entrust this business with. I was simply inspired and motivated to pick your contact from the many names and lists in the directory.After discussing my view and your profile with my colleagues, they were very much satisfied and decided to contact you immediately for this mutual business relationship. We wish to transfer the sum of
USD$25,000,000,00 (Twenty five Million United States Dollars only) into your personal or company`s bank account. This fund was a residue of the over invoiced contract bills awarded by us for the supply of ammunitions, hard/software's, pharmaceuticals/medical items, light and heavy duty vehicles, appeals and other administrative logistics etc, for the ECOMOG in Sierra-Leone and Liberia during the Peace Keeping Projects. This DEAL was deliberately hatched out and carefully protected with all the attendant lope holes sealed off. As the Chairman of Task Force, I have the cooperation and mandate of the, Contract Awarding Committee Chairman, Financial Director and the Secretary of the Organization.We arranged and over invoiced the contract funds supplied by different companies from different countries during the crisis. It was our consensus to seek the assistance of a willing foreigner to provide us with the facilities to transfer this money out of West Africa. This is borne out of
our belief in the non-stable and spurious political nature of this sub-region. The original contractors have been duely paid by the Banque Centrale Des Etats De L`Afrique De L`Quest (Central Bank of the West African States) through our bankers-Societe Generale Banque. This balance is suspended in the escrow accounts awaiting claims by any foreign company of our choice. We intend to pay out this fund NOW as the organization is winding up its activities since the aim of returning PEACE to the countries and the coast has been achieved.Based on the laws and ethics of employment, we as civil servants working under this organization, are not allowed to operate a foreign account. This is the more reason why we needed your assistance to provide an account that can sustain this fund for safe keeping and our future investment with your comprehensive advise, assistance and partnership in your country. It is however agreed, as the account owner in this deal to allow you 35% of the entire
sum as compensation, 60% will be held on trust for us, while 5% will be used to defray any incidental charges and cost during the course of the transaction. This transaction will be successfully concluded within 10 working days if you accord us your unalloyed and due cooperation.Upon the receipt of your response, I shall tell you the next thing to do in order to put up this claim. As with the case of all organized (sensitive) and conspired DEALS, we solicit for your unreserved confidentiality and utmost secret in this business. We hope to retire peacefully and lead a honorable business life afterwards. There are no risks involved. I shall give you my personal telephone number to communicate with me as soon as I receive your response.Thanks for your understanding, you are free to mail me on my personal e-mail address (generalc.aokae@yahoo.com)Your faithfully,General C. A OKAE (RTD).www.ecowas.int/ips/ii/security/home.htm
