Betreff: BUSINESS PARTNERSHIP SOLICITION AND CONTRACT AWARD

Dear partner,
Let me start by first introducing myself properly to you. I am Dr S.Mba Andeme, a secretary general in the Ministry of Mine and Energy, Malabo, Equatorial Guinea and I head a four-man tender board in charge of Contracts Awards and payment Approvals.This transaction entails the transfer of a huge sum of money to a foreign account requiring maximum confidence.My colleagues and i are top officials of the Republic of Equatorial Guinea Contract Review and Award Panel. Our duties include evaluation, vetting, approval for payment of contract jobs done for the Ministry, etc.
The source of this funds is as follows: Some years back here in Euatorial Guinea, this committee awarded a contract of US $100,000,000.00 (One Hundred Million United States Dollars) to five firms on behalf of the Mines and Energy Ministry for the construction and installation of Jade platform and a methanol plant. During this process my colleagues and I decided amongst ourselves to deliberately over-inflate the total contract sum to US$116,500,000.00 (One Hundred and Sixteen Million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) with the main intention of sharing the remaining sum of US $16,500,000.00 (Sixteen Million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) amongst ourselves. The Republic of Equatorial Guinea has since approved the sum of US$116,500,000.00 (One Hundred and Sixteen Million, Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) for us as the contract sum, and the sum of US$100,000,000.00 (One Hundred Million United States Dollars) has also been paid to the foreign contractors concerned as contract entitlements for the contract done,we are now left with US$16,500,000.00 balance floating in the account which we intend to transfer abroad into a safe and reliable account to be disbursed amongst ourselves, but by virtue of our positions as civil servants and members of this panel, we cannot do this by ourselves, as we are prohibited by the Code of Conduct Bureau (Civil Service Laws) from opening / operating foreign accounts in our names, making it impossible for us to acquire the money in our names. I have, therefore, been mandated as a matter of trust by my colleagues in the panel to look for an overseas partner into whose account we would transfer the sum of US$16,500,000.00 (Sixteen Million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars), hence we are writing you this letter. My colleagues and I have agreed that if you can act as the beneficiary of this funds on our behalf, you will retain 20% of the total amount of US$16,500,000.00 (Sixteen Million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars), while 70% will be for us (members of this panel) and the remaining 10% will be used in offsetting all debts/expenses incurred (both local and foreign) in the cause of this transfer. Needless to say, the trust reposed on you at this juncture is enormous. In return we demand your complete honesty and trust. You must however, NOTE that this transaction will be strictly based on the following terms and conditions as we have stated below, as we have heard confirmed cases of business associates running away with funds kept in their custody when it finally arrive their accounts. A very good and recent example is the one of Mr. Allen Rodney, the President of Velo Finance and Investment Company South Korea, and former Chairman of GETESA (Mr. Enrique Ekwu), who we were reliably informed that after the agreement between both partners in which he was to take 15% of the money, while the remaining 85% for Equatorial Guinea Officials. With all the required documents signed, the money was duly transferred into his account, only to be disappointed on their arrival in South Korea and were informed that Mr. Allen Rodney was no longer on that address, while his telephone and fax numbers have been re-allocated to somebody else. This was how they lost US8.5 Million to Mr. Allen.
This is a very recent story here in my country and everybody is aware of this, some of the officials decided to cry out, because they felt they had lost too much to a stranger, while the Chairman of GETESA is hiding in a foreign country. So right now we are taking all precautionary measures to guard against re-occurrence of such act in our case. This is why we have decided that this transaction will be based completely on the following:
(a). Our conviction of your transparent honesty and diligence. (b). That you would treat this transaction with utmost secrecy and confidentiality.
(c). That upon receipt of the funds, you will promptly release our share (70%) on demand after you have removed your 20% and all expenses have been settled.
(d). You must be ready to produce us with enough information about yourself to put our minds at rest,by providing your full name,contact address,telephone and fax numbers.
Please, note that this transaction is 100% legal and risk free and we hope to conclude the business in Seven Bank working days from the date of receipt of the necessary information and requirement from you. Please, acknowledge the receipt of this letter using my email address. I will bring you into the complete picture of the transaction when I have heard from you.
Your urgent response will be highly appreciated as we are already behind schedule for this financial quarter.
Thank you and God bless.
Yours faithfully,
Dr.S.Mba Andeme.
