Dear Sir,
Subject: Requesting your cooperation to transfer Ten Million United States dollars to a safe bank account.
I am the Auditor-General of the ECOWAS Commission, I got your contact from the West African Free Trade Database internet portal in my search of a reliable and trustworthy foreign partner and I hope we can work closely together on mutually ratified partnership agreement.
The aforementioned funds were over-invoiced contract payments and I am sincerely seeking your collaboration to receive these funds into your private bank account because the Public Service Code of Conduct Bureau highly prohibits a public officeholder from operating a foreign bank account and the fund can only be paid out to a foreign bank account. By virtue of my status as the Head of the Audit/Accounts Department, I would sincerely wish to confidentially establish an investment partnership with you prior to my retirement from public service by mid 2016.
On completion of the transfer of the fund to a safe bank account in your country, you will be entitled to share 50% of the total fund to compensate your efforts and to cover all envisaged expense including cost of legal documentation for a transparent and hitch-free remittance, and my share of 50% will be kept in a safe interest yielding bank account under your watch until my official retirement and subsequent visit to meet personally with you in your country.
We shall discuss further details of this deal as soon as I receive your unconditional acceptance, is rest assured that this transaction is 100% risk-free. It is pertinent to note that this fund will be transferred to your nominated bank account via swift without any breach of international financial law.
Best regards,
Mr. Michel Lafont.
