Subject: URGENT APPOINTMENT!!!
Dear Sir/Madam
After my official inquiry from the foreign trade office of the
chambers of commerce & industry Here in Burkina Faso, I decided to
contact you to solicit for your assistance in making a business
investment and transfer of US$5,000,000 to your country within the
next few weeks. I work with the Department of (agriculture, land
reform& rural development) in Burkina Faso.
This fund accrued from over inflated contract executed by foreign
contractors, the over inflated fund is presently waiting to be
remitted from a commercial bank in Burkina Faso. By virtue of my
positions as civil servants in my country i cannot acquire this money
in my name. Because as a civil servant, I am not allowed by the civil
service code of conduct to own or operate bank accounts outside our
country. I have decided to look for an overseas partner who could work
with me to facilitate transfer of this fund for our mutual
benefit,hence the reason for this email.
My proposal is that after you receive the funds, it would be shared as
follows: 40% to you as Commission for your co-operation and assistance
in facilitating the transfer, while the Remaining 60% belongs to me.
Since my objective is to invest the money in a foreign country, it
would be appreciated if you could also help me with advice and
direction on investing into Profitable ventures in your country. If
you can handle this please forward to me your contact details.
Regards,
Abdulkarim Sanni.
