Attention
My purpose of writing to you is this: there was a contract awarded by the tender's board of the ECOWAS in the year 2015/2016 and the contract has been completed and commissioned
.
The original contract sum was US$2.2 billion dollars, but it was deliberately over-invoiced by US$50 million dollars thereby bringing the total contract sum to US$2.52 billion the concerned foreign contractor has been paid his due entitlement, leaving behind the surplus sum of US$ 50m, which is presently in the reserve account of the ECOWAS. Now as the present executive director finance & accounts of this board, I need your co-operation and assistance to transfer the fund into your bank account because the ethics of our civil code of conduct here does not permit us to operate or own a foreign bank account while still in active service.
Please note that after the successful transfer of the fund, I will come over to meet you and we shall discuss my investment plans. I will offer you 30% of the total sum for your assistance and 5% for any expenses. I trust that you will keep this confidential as I am still in active service. Carry out all your background checks about me and if you are convinced that I am genuine and for real then we can proceed. I will send you all proof documents to assure you that you are in safe hands and should not be afraid.
The same documents will prove to you that this transaction is lawful and legitimate normal payment for a contract that was successfully executed some years ago If you are willing and able to handle this deal with me, please include the following information in your response to my private email address: [email protected]
1. Your full names
2. Your contact address
3. Your private telephone and fax numbers
4. Your company's name (if any).
Expecting urgent reply.
Best regards,
Dr.Johnson Boanuh
