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. Donald Muntari a member of the Ghana Export Promotion Council (GEPC) who was with the government delegation to europe 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 work 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 30%, and 70% will be for us.
The business itself is 100% safe, fail proof and risk-free, provided you treat it with utmost secrecy and you follow my 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 on my private email: donmuntari@excite.com to indicate your willingness and capability to assist us.
Thank you for your anticipated co-operation and I await the receipt of your message to enable me bring you into the complete picture of the transaction.
Yours faithfully, Donald Muntari.

DR Mike Kuruma CHAIRMAN ECOWAS CONTRACT AWARDING COMMITTEE ECOWAS FUND HEADQUARTERS P.M.B.5028 ACCRA-REPUBLIC OF GHANA Email; dr.mike_kuruma@latinmail.com ACCOUNT PROVISION FOR USD45.5 MILLION I am Dr. Mike Kuruma, Chairman, Contract Awarding Committee of the ECONOMIC COMMUNITY OF WEST AFRICAN STATES (ECOWAS)with its fund Headquarters in Accra-Ghana.I got your information in a Proffesional database through the chamber of commerce for a reliable, honest and trustworthy person to entrust this business with.I was simply inspired and motivated to pick your contact from the many names in the list of the directory.I decided to contact you immediately for this mutual business relationship. We wish to transfer the sum of USD45.5,000,000.00(Forty five million five hundred thousand United States Dollars only.)into your personal or company`s bank account.This fund was a residue of the over invoiced contract bills awarded by us intentionally for the supply of hard and softwares,phamaceauticals/medical items,light and heavy duty vehicles, apparels and other administrative/logistics for the ECOMOG in Sierra-Leone and Liberia during the PeaceKeeping Projects. This DEAL was deliberately hatched out and carefully protected with the cooperation and mandate of the Financial Director and the Secretary of the Organisation.We arranged and over invoiced the contract funds supplied by different companies from different countries during the crisis. It was our consensus to seek the assistance of a willing foreigner to provide us with the facilities to transfer this money out of West Africa.This is borne out of our belief in the non-stable and porous political nature of this sub-region. The original contractors have been duly paid by Ecowas banker through the Central bank of Ghana and finance Ministry.The balance is suspended in the ECOWAS grand Account awaiting claims by any foreign partner of our choice to receive the fund on our behalf Now Ecowas is intending to pay all their outstanding balance of their contractors this year as the organization is winding up its activities since the aim of returning PEACE to the countries and the coast has been achieved. Based on the laws and ethics of employment,we as civil servants working under this organization, are not allowed to operate/own a foreign account.This is more reason why we needed your urgent assistance to provide an account that can sustain this fund for safe keeping and our future investment with your comprehensive advise,assistance and partnership in your country.It is however agreed,as the account owner in this deal to allow you 30%of the entire sum as compensation, 65% will be held on trust for us while5% will be used to defray any incidental charges and cost during the course of the transaction. This transaction will be successfully concluded within14 days if you accord us your unalloyed and due cooperation.You should provide the followings for immediate kick off of this deal if it interest you;YOUR COMPANY`S NAME WITH COMPLETE ADDRESS,TEL AND FAX NUMBERS.(if available)THE NAME OF YOUR BANK,ITS ADDRESS WITH TEL,FAX AND TELEX NUMBERS.THE ACCOUNT NUMBER THE COMPLETE MAILING ADDRESS OF THE BENEFICIARY WITH TELEPHONE AND FAX NUMBERS. Upon the receipt of this informations,application for claim will be sent to you to fill and return back to the organization in pursuit of the claim legally and then be forwarded to the organization for ratification and subsequent payment.As with the case of all organized (sensitive)and conspired DEALS,we solicit for your unreserved confidentiality and utmost secret in this business.We hope to retire peacefully and lead honorable business life afterwards. There are no risks involved .Kindly expedite action if you are interested as we are behind schedule to enable us utilize this golden opportunity pay out this fund immediately which we might stand to loose, if we fail to provide a safe account for this transfer on time at the expiration of this year Ecowas has mapped out for payment of all their outstanding contractors and the dissolution of our committee.Please urgency is needed as we do not know the time our organization will start the payment hence it is necessary to start on time to forestall any hitch while transferring the fund into your designated account. Hoping to hear from you. With regards. Dr.Mike kuruma
