FROM THE DESK OF DR Mike Kuruma
CHAIRMAN ECOWAS CONTRACT AWARDING COMMITTEE
ECOWAS FUND HEADQUARTERS
P.M.B.5028
ACCRA-REPUBLIC OF GHANA
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.
regards.
Dr.Mike kuruma
