Hello,

I am in receipt of your mail and I welcome your response. Please read the details below which will guide your better understanding to work with me in the transaction.

My name is Benno Jones and I work with the National Hydrocarbons Corporation (NHC) of Cameroun.

I have the instruction of my boss to seek for your cooperation in concluding a pending payment which the value is $14.3Million.

SOURCE OF FUNDS: My boss is the Head of Project Board that awards contracts to foreign contractors. My boss made a deal that yielded a commission payment of $14.3Million which we want you to receive on our behalf immediately. This amount is presently in the custody of the Federal Ministry of Finance awaiting approval for remittance to the account of the foreign beneficiary. We had an arrangement with a foreign contractor from Italy who was to receive the money on our behalf in form of contract payment. The difficulty we have at this stage is that we cannot reach the man again. The information reaching us a few days ago about him indicates that he died recently of coronavirus disease in Italy. May his gentle soul rest in peace. The money is now floating in the system of the Federal Ministry of Finance waiting to be remitted into the foreign account of the contractor.

We need you as a foreign partner to receive the money on our behalf. My boss is about to submit your name to the office of the Federal Ministry of Finance for the approval of the payment in your name and subsequent release of funds into your account hence this contact.

Please note that relevant documents would be procured to justify the source of funds to you. Note also that the release of the payment to you will be via bank to bank transfer of funds.

For your participation, you will be compensated with 25% of the total sum. It is important to also state here that your participation will not bring you any risk or put you into any trouble. All official documents will be provided to justify the source of funds.

For us to trust each other, you and I will have a partnership agreement.

If you are willing to work with us and receive the payment on our behalf for investment and safekeeping, please reconfirm to me your full name, address and phone number which are required to process the payment in your name. As soon as I receive your details, the process will commence immediately and it will take about ten (10) working days to complete the process.

I am waiting for your advice.
