Advance Fee Fraud/419 Scam Email

[Oil Contract. Date: Mon, 27 Mar 2006 12:16:27 -0800]

My dear,
Before I introduce myself, I wish to inform you that this 
letter is not a hoax mail and I urge you to treat it serious. I am a 
Director in Procurement Department with Petroleum Ministry here in 
Italy
I obtained your email while searching for a reliable person, who 
could assist me in receiving transfer of a supposed contract awarded 
funds. This fund came as a result of over estimated contract awarded 
sums executed by foreign contractors in the Petroleum Ministry. The 
concerned Ministry has approved these over invoiced funds for payment. 
The contracts which the over invoiced sums was created from has been 
executed and commissioned. What I am about to receive now, is the over 
estimated funds which was added during the process of obtaining the 
contracts for my own interest. This is a normal deal that goes in my 
Ministry by top officials.

On my part, all modalities have been 
worked 
out in ensuring a smooth conclusion of the contract payment to 
your 
bank account within the next few days. My department approves 
payments 
to contractors, and I happen to head the department. All I 
want from 
you is to receive these funds on my behalf as a Sub-Let 
Company, 
because as Government Official I cannot collect the funds 
directly from 
my Ministry, neither I am allowed by Law to operate/ run 
foreign bank 
accounts. If you are trustworthy and can assist me in 
receiving the 
fund, do not hesitate to respond back to me immediately.
Please note 
that there is no risk involved in receiving the over 
estimated contract 
funds in your account. I want you to state in 
percentage what you 
shall have for participating in using your bank 
account to secure the 
funds. As soon as you indicate your interest, 
further details and the 
amount involved shall be given to you once I 
receive response from 
you. I hope I can trust you to treat this 
proposal with utmost 
confidentiality. 
Looking forward to hearing from 
you soonest. 
Best regards,
Engineer Williams Samora.
