I got your contact through a directory search and decided to propose this business. I am seeking your assistance in remitting of some funds, Ninety five million to your account for private investment purpose, hence my request for your assistance.
SOURCE OF THE FUND:
The fund to be transferred into your account is accrued from an over-invoiced contract amount awarded for the completion of the last phase of our refinery, valves and depot for storage of product all over our branches here in the UK which include laying of distribution pipelines. The contract which was originally valued for One Hundred and Twenty Seven Million was manipulated to read, Two Hundred and Twenty Two Million. The extra, Ninety Five Million, is what I want to move to your account, the original contractors who executed the job has been paid all their contract bills remaining this Ninety Five Million.
DISBURSEMENT:
I have resolved that you take Forty percent of the total amount for your assistance. that is, fronting you as a sub contractor to claim the remaining balance of Ninety Five Million which is left now in our bank from the over invoice contract because it is impossible for me to claim the over invoiced amount without your assistance as a Foreign Contractor. In addition Ten percent has been mapped out for any miscellaneous expenses that might be incurred by both of us during this business while Fifty percent will be my own share.
SECURITY:
All modalities to effect the payment and subsequent transfer of this money has been worked out, so this transaction is Hundred percent risk free, though you are required to treat it with strictest confidence, on our acceptance please send to me your personal details and your direct mobile phone number for speedy correspondence.
