Coloow Posted June 16, 2003 ATTN:entrepreneur, ACCOUNT PROVISION FOR USD45M -------------------------------------------------------- Forgive my indignation if this message comes to you as a surprise and if it might offend you without your prior consent and writing through this channel. I am Hon.Dr LANSANA KOUYATE, The Former Executive Secretary and Now Chairman Contract Awarding Committee of the ECONOMIC COMMUNITY OF WEST AFRICAN STATES (ECOWAS) with Headquarters in Lome-Togo. I got your information from the MSN public profile while I was searching 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 and lists in the directory of profiles. After discussing my view and your profile with my colleagues, they were very much satisfied and decided to contact you immediately for this mutual business relationship. We wish to transfer the sum of USD45,000,000.00 (forty five Million 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 for the supply of ammunitions, hard/soft wares, phamaceauticals/medical items, light and heavy duty vehicles, apparels and other administrative logistics etc for the ECOMOG in Sierra-Leone and Liberia during the Peace Keeping Projects. This DEAL was deliberately hatched out and carefully protected with all the attendant loop holes sealed off. As the chairman of contract awarding committe of ECOWAS, I have the cooperation and mandate of the FINANCIAL DIRECTOR,Dr HAMIDOU GUMASSI. 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 sporous political nature of this sub-region. The original contractors have been duely paid through one of our bank. This balance is suspended in the escrow accounts awaiting claims by any foreign company of our choice. We intend to pay out this fund NOW as the organisation 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 organisation, are not allowed to operate a foreign account. This is the more reason why we needed your 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 while 5% will be used to defray any incidental charges and cost during the course of the transaction. This transaction will be successfully concluded within 14 days if you accord us your unalloyed and due cooperation. You should provide the followings: 1.YOUR COMPANY`S NAME WITH COMPLETE ADDRESS, TEL AND FAX NUMBERS.(if available) 2.THE NAME OF YOUR BANK, ITS ADDRESS WITH TEL, FAX AND TELEX NUMBERS. 3.YOUR ACCOUNT Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Coloow Posted June 19, 2003 Salaama, Another letter that contains a 45 000 000 dollar reward. Could anyone help and tell me how to not receive this kind of junk? ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ALHAJI SHAIBU RIMI ATTN: funeral director I am ALHAJI SHAIBU RIMI, the Manager of the Consignment/Treasury Department of a Security and Finance Company in Lagos, Nigeria having offshore payment centers in the U.K, Spain, Ghana, South Africa and Holland. Recently, we discovered a dormant consignment with a substantial amount of money valued at Forty Five Million United States Dollars (US$45,000,000.00) that belongs to one of our numerous customers who died in a motor accident in November 1996. During the period of our investigation, we discovered that the deceased died along with his only son and wife, leaving no WILL and nobody behind to come for the claim as next of kin. The policy guidelines/law of our firm stipulates that if such consignment remains unclaimed for Six years, it will be forfeited to the firm's treasury as an unclaimed consignment/bill as a Nigerian, I cannot stand as the next of kin to a foreigner. It is upon this discovery that I as head of this department decided to contact you to collaborate with me to pull out this dormant consignment. I am going to give you 30% of the total fund if this proposal meets your interest. Urgently, reach me through the above stated e-mail to enable me give you the full details for this transaction and how it is going to work out. Also include your personal telephone and fax number for easy communication. What I want from you is to act as the deceased's next of kin. I have in my possession (alone) all necessary documents to successfully accomplish this business. However, it will require that you shall be physically present in any of our centers to pull out this fund for onward transmission into your bank account. The next of kin must be present in Lagos, Nigeria or nay of our offshore payment centers to sign out these funds, which take a maximum of three (3) working days to conclude further information will be given to you as soon as I receive your positive response via email. Anticipate your urgent reply. Regards, ALHAJI SHAIBU RIMI Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
