i get in to work this morning and check my free internet mail account... you ever get one of these before?
Dear Sir/Madam,
It is my pleasure to write this letter to you. First, I must ask your
utmost confidentiality in this transaction by virtue of it being utterly
confidential. I am Mr. Tary Kojo. a member of the Ghana Export
Promotion Council (GEPC). I am currently in Europe on a one year traning
course. I was also with the government delegation to your country during a
bilateral trade conference. I have decided to seek your assistance and
co-operation in the execution of a business transaction described here
under for the benefit of all parties and hope that you keep it
confidential because of the nature of the Transaction. We basically seek your
assistance to front in the transfer of US$30,500,000.00 (Thirty Million,
Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars Only).
Source: I was working as a Director of Project Implementation within
the Ministry of Energy and Mineral resources and with co-operation of
three other top officials, we have in our possession an overdue payment in
US funds. The said funds represents certain percentage of the contract
value executed on behalf of my Ministry by a foreign contracting firm,
which we the officials over-invoiced by a total amount of
US$30,500,000.00 (Thirty Million Five Hundred Thousand United States
Dollars). Though the actual contract cost has been paid to the original
contractor, leaving the excess balance unclaimed. But by virtue of us
being civil servants we cannot acquire this fund in our names, Therefore
I was delegated as a matter of trust by my colleagues to look for an
overseas partner into whose account we would transfer the funds hence we
are writing you this letter.
Our government is determined to pay foreign contractors all debts owed
so as to maintain continued good relations with both the foreign
governments and non government financial agencies. We have decided to
include our bills for approval with the co-operation of some officials
at the Department of Finance and the Central Bank of Ghana (CBG). We
hereby seek your assistance to act as the beneficiary of the unclaimed
funds since we are not allowed to operate a foreign account. You will
provide us with a good front and partnership to process the remittance
of the money to you as a form of contract payment.
This process will be an internal arrangement with the departments
concerned and we will handle this here, your duty is to act as the
contractor and have the contract sum paid to you. I have the authority
of my partners to invite you into this matter and with your acceptance
of our invitation, your share as compensation will be 20%, and 70% will
be for us and 10% will be for the settlement of taxation and other
miscellaneous expenses incurred.
The business itself is 100% safe, fail proof and risk-free, provided
you treat it with utmost confidentiality and you follow our instructions
carefully and religiously. Your area of business specialization does
not matter as it cannot hinder the successful execution of this
transaction. I hope I can put my confidence in you in this matter. Please
contact me by return email to indicate your willingness and capability to
assist us.
Thank you for your anticipated co-operation and I await the receipt of
our message to enable me bring you into the complete picture of the
transaction.
Yours faithfully,
Tary Kojo.
i think my favorite part is when he says "First, I must ask your
utmost confidentiality in this transaction by virtue of it being utterly
confidential." say "confidential" one more time... please...
i'd now like to take the time out to show you a funny little site regarding the above email scam: www.419eater.com. a lot of these stories are FUNNY! it's great to see someone beat at their own game and humiliated for even trying.
now the question is... should i mess with this guy...
