My Dear Prospective Partner. 

                                                            

  

                                                    ( OVER INFLUENCE CONTRACT INVOICE- ) 


I am Engr.Chris Douglas, a 41 years old western educated man, from the Republic of Burkina 
Faso,West Africa. and I am an Engineer working with the Burkina Faso Department of Mining & Energy.
First and foremost I apologise for using this medium to reach you for a transaction of this 
magnitude but this is due to confidentiality and prompt access reposed on this medium.  Be informed 
that a member of the Burkina Faso Export Promotion Council (BEPC) who was part of my government 
delegation to your country during a recent Trade Exhibition gave your enviable 
credentials/particulars to me while assuring me on your competence to handle a business transaction 
involving a large sum of money with absolute confidentiality. 

  

Therefore I have decided to seek a confidential co-operation with you in the execution of the deal 
described here under for the benefit of all parties and while hoping you will keep it as top secret 
because of the nature of this transaction.Withing the Department of Mining & Energy where I work as 
a Director and with the co-operation of three other top officials,we have in our possession an 
overdue contract payment bills totalling Four Million,Five Hundred Thousand United States 
Dollars($4,500,000.00). 

  

This money which we intend to process its transfer as a  form of contract payment into a reliable 
company/individual account depending on your convenience.Your assistance and co-operation is 
required due to the circumstances surrounding our work as Government  officials whereby the Burkina 
Faso Civil Service Code of Conduct does not allow us to operate an Offshore Bank account hence your 
importance in the whole transaction. Presently,this amount ($4.5M) representing the balance of the 
total contract value executed on behalf of my Department by a foreign contracting firm which we the 
officials over-invoiced deliberately is lying unclaimed in the Government Escrow Bank Account with 
the Reserve Bank International of Burkina Faso (BIB). 

  

We hereby seek your assistance and co-operation that will enable us to process this sum of money to 
you as a form of contract payment. We have the necessary authority to validate and forward 
approvals of outstanding contract claims to the Government for final payment on approval  through 
the Reserve  Bank International of Burkina Faso. All partners agreed while mandating me to propose 
that should you be willing to assist us in the transaction, your share of the sum will be 30% of 
the $4.5 million, 60% will be for us,5% for Charity Organisations and 5%  for any expenses incurred 
during the course of this project including telephone and fax bills. 

  

The business itself is 100% LEGAL SAFE on your part provided you treat it with utmost secrecy and 
confidentiality. Also note that your area of specialisation is not an hindrance to the successful 
execution of this transaction. I have reposed my confidence in you while awaiting your prompt 
response and i know that you will not let me down when the funds have been transferred into any 
account that you will nominate.
Finally on your part,we will appreciate you treat this transaction as confidential as 
possible,while we assure you of a 100% RISK FREE transaction provided you follow our instruction 
religiously. 

I await your confirmation of my message while praying that this will be the begining of a longlife 
partnership between us.
