Dear friend,
Request For Urgent Business Relationship
We have the pleasure to make this surprising but mutually benefiting business proposal. I am a member of the newly inaugurated committee for the privatization of the Gold mines of the Ministry of geology and mines, in Burkina Faso. The members of the committee are interested in the importation of goods into the country with funds presently floating in the central bank of Burkina Faso /Ministry of Geology and Mines foreign payments account. I got your address through the office of the Burkina faso Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
The federal goverment of Burkina Faso, intends to lease the six existing Gold mines to private individuals and companies. This is to make the Mines more viable, resourceful and to eliminate undue wastage and fraud. This privatization is in-line with the recommendations of the World Bank and International Monetary Fund (IMF) as a prerequisite for future financial assistance.
The Mines are heavily indebted to many companies and my committee has the mandate (task) of compiling the names of these companies and debt owed them and also recommend for payment, all contracts that have been fully executed. With our position in the committee, which comprises of my ministry, federal ministry of Geology and mines, the federal Ministry of Finance (FMF) and the Central Bank of Burkina Faso (CBN), we have successfully secured for ourselves, the sum of US $73,000,000 (seventy-three million United States Dollars). This sum was acquired by carefully inflating the amount of indebtedness by this amount (US $73,000,000). We need a reliable company to be included in the list of companies to be paid. This company will be paid for a contract executed in Kalsaka gold mine in 2007.
I was therefore mandated in trust by members of the committee, to seek a foreign partner into whose account we could transfer the sum of US $73,000,000, hence I am writing you this letter. We have agreed to share the funds thus:
1) 70% for us (the committee members)
2) 20% for you (the account owner)
3) 10% will be used in settling taxation and all local and foreign expenses that will be incurred in the course of this transaction
It is from our 70% that we wish to commence the importation business. We also need assurance from you that you will let us have our share once the inflated amount (US $73,000,000.00) is transferred into your account.
The payment will be done by the Central Bank of Burkina Faso (CBBF) through its correspondent bank. What we need from you, is that you provide a vital account into which the funds will be transferred/lodged.
Note that this transaction is 100% safe and guaranteed since the law under which our committee was set up, has empowered us to disburse all the funds.
We shall commence the transfer of the funds immediately we receive the following information by Tel/Mail::
1) Your company name and full address
2) Your bank's name, telephone and fax number
3) Your account number and name of would be beneficiary
The above information will enable us put up letters of claim and job description to the respective ministries for the issuance of the mandatory fund release approval/recommendations. This way, your company will be recognized and accepted as the beneficiary of the contract entitlements before the final remittance to your nominated account, by the Central Bank of Burkina Faso, being paying bank.
Note that we will be responsible for the payment of the federal inland revenue tax on behalf of your company and a contract agreement between your company and the Ministère de la géologie shall be drawn up and antedated showing that your company has a legitimate contract with the ministry and must be paid.
We are looking forward to doing this business with you and solicit absolute confidentiality from you in this transaction. Please acknowledge receipt of this letter, immediately for more details regarding this transaction. Also endeavor to send the requested information.
yours Sincerely,
Dr.Ibrahim Abdulaziz.
