YOUR REF./OUR REF.
FROM THE FINANCIAL CONTROLLER
GHANAIAN NATIONAL PETROLEUM CORPORATION (GNPC)
Dear,
Excuse me for writing you this email, though l have not met
or known you before but l took upon myself to contact you
since l need your assistance in this business transaction
that requires your assistance.
l got your contact through a small business lists given to
me by the Ghanaian Chambers of commerce though l did not
inform them my main reason of my need of your contact. l do
have all reasons to believe that you must be a trustworthy
and reliable person that will not
like betray my trust after hearing this news.
I am the Financial Controller and Sole Signatory to the
Petroleum precedes account of the Ghanaian National
Petroleum Corporation (GNPC). The regulator and major
exporters of Ghana's rich petroleum resources (Crude Oil). I
am making this proposal to you on behalf of three colleagues
and myself. We are contacting you for a very important
business deal.
We have concluded and perfected plans to transfer the sum of
$32.053.000.00M (Thirty Two Million, Fifty Three Thousand
United States Dollars only) into a reliable account abroad.
On the 10th of January 2009, this Committee, Petroleum
Special Trust Fund (PTF) awarded a contract of
US$811,053,103,23 (Eight Hundred and Eleven Million, Fifty
Three Thousand One Hundred and Three Dollars, Twenty Three
Cent, United State Dollars Only) to a Canadian firm based in
Britain, but the contract was sub-contracted to four foreign
firms by the Original Contractor. This contract in question
was the Turn Around Maintenance of the Thema,
obuasi and Kumasi depots (TAM).
My colleagues and I decided to over-invoice the contract sum
to the tune of $843,106,103.23 (Eight Hundred and Forty
Three Million One Hundred and Six Thousand One Hundred and
Three Dollars Twenty Three Cents Only) with intention of
sharing US$32.053M among us. The Federal Government of Ghana
has since last month approved the sum of US$843,106,103.23
for the executed contract but since the original contractor
was only
entitled to US$811,053,103.23 and has been paid in full. The
remaining US$32.053M is still floating in international
commercial bank Ghana (ICB). The new civilian president, as
part of its effort to win international support, has
directed that all outstanding contract payments due to
foreign contractors be paid to them immediately, Fortunately
for us, the over-invoiced sum of
US$32.53M has been listed as one of such payment by via
contract number GNPC/EPR/001/1-44DT 09.
However, as a civil servant, we are not permitted to operate
foreign accounts by Ghana law. This is why we are asking for
your assistance to provide us with the necessary required
documents to facilitate the transfer of the fund into any
account you will nominate whether in your country or any
part of the world so long as it is owned by a company or an
individual account owned by a prominent person in any part
of the world. For your assistance we have agreed to offer
you 25% of the total sum, 65% for us and 10% for any local
or international expenses incurred during the process.
For a smooth transfer, we shall require the following from
you.
1. Your private telephone/fax numbers,
2. Complete particulars of your bank and account number
where the fund will be lodged.
We shall use your name and your companys name to re-award
the contract, put up a letter of claims and apply for
payment. We wait in anticipation for your quick response
As soon as I receive your reply, I will call you for further
discussions.
Yours sincerely,
Dr.Gerald Dankwa
