Dear Sir/Madam,
It is with trust and confidence that I write this urgent business
assistance to you. I am a principal staff with Oil & Gas Company
{BGGROUP} in United Kingdom .I have been assigned by two of my
colleagues to seek for a trust worthy foreign partner who will assist
us in the transfer of the sum of GBP12,000,000.00(Twelve Million
Pounds) only into a safe foreign account pending on our arrival in
your country for sharing and utilization of the fund with the owner of
the account.
On the 20th of January 2014 our corporation, the British gas plc
(bggroup), awarded a contract of gbp168, 000, 000, 00 (one hundred and
sixty eight million pounds) only, to a foreign firm for the supply of
some equipment valued gbp156, 000, 000, 00 (one hundred and fifty six
million pounds) only. But I and my colleagues being members of the
contract awarding committee over-inflated the contract to the tune of
gbp168,000,000.00 (one hundred and sixty eight million pounds)
only,with the intention of sharing the remaining balance
12,000,000.00(Twelve million pounds) only among ourselves.
The contract has been successfully executed and the actual contractors
had been paid their gbp156,000,000.00 (one hundred and fifty six
million pounds) in full leaving a balance of gbp12,000,000.00 which
wenow want to transfer out of the country in our favor for
disbursement among ourselves. Meanwhile I and two of my colleagues
have agreed that if you/your company can act as the beneficiary of
this fund ou will retain 30% of the total fund, for the assistance
rendered, while we would retain 60% of the total and the balance of
10% of the total fund will be set aside for the off-setting of all
expenses that might be incurred by both parties during the fund
transfer process. We are requesting you to co-operate with us and
provide a convenient account number in a designated bank where this
fund can be safely transferred;we intend to come over there on the
completion of the fund transfer to secure our own share of the fund.
Please, note that we have been careful and have worked out all the
modalities for a smooth transfer of this fund to your chosen
designated account before contacting you .We would therefore not want
you to expose this proposal to any body for the purpose of security
and its confidential nature. Please be rest assured that this
transaction is 100% risk-free. If this proposal is acceptable by
you,please contact me through my personal e-mail address for further
information on this transaction. Note that the particular nature of
your companys business is irrelevant to this transaction.Note that
your favorable reply is urgently needed. This information is highly
confidential and urgent.You can reply me through this Email
