From the office of:
Dr. Michael King
Chairman/Group Managing Director
(ECOWAS)

Dear friend,

RE: UNPAID CONTRACT SUM.

After waiting to hear from you or your Africa partners for a long time
now, I decided to make this direct approach to you in other not to let
it be as if I have anything in mind against you. I do not know if you
have asked yourself why each time the release of these fund is approved,
all of a sudden, the payment will be stopped or one problem or the other
will come up. If you have not asked this question or you do not know,
this is an opportunity for me to tell you.

Some time ago, your Africa friends, I mean the people that introduced
you to the project approached me through my dear Wife who works with the
Federal Ministry of Finance and requested me to assist them conclude a
money transfer deal they had with you, they requested me to assist them
by removing the original contractor’s name, company’s name and bank
particulars from ECOWAS Corporation vetting computer and replacing them
with your name and your bank details in order to make you appear as the
rightful beneficiary of these funds.

I agreed on condition that they will pay me $100,000 as soon as your
name appears as the beneficiary. I did as agreed and demanded to be paid
but your friends started telling me stories. They even told me that you
promise to send money to me. Do you know that up till now, I have not
received a single cent from them and have not set my eyes on any of
them.

Based on their attitude, I decided to stop the funds release movement
because I cannot be denied of my right in my own office considering the
risk as it might affect my job.

Secondly, I know the source of the funds and you did not execute any
contract in Africa, although I am the only person privileged to know
this information and it is a fact. Why I am making this clear to you is
that I can see that you are still making efforts spending money in order
to conclude this project. Now I am ready to forget the past, I do not
need the $100,000 any longer from you but a share of 20% of the total
sum. I need your assurance that those your colleagues will be totally
kept out of this transaction, I know that none of them is aware of this
transaction after trying their best to conclude it without my consent.

Finally, I need your promise that no official of the ECOWAS will be
aware of my involvement in this regard. Now reassure me that you will be
willing to offer me the 20% of the fund, that you will assist my wife
and personal assistant to establish a foreign account in your country
where my share will be lodged.

If you are ready to conclude this business with me, you can contact me
immediately on my private email above, so that we can have chat over
this issue once and for all so that we can move forward. But if the
reverse is the case, do not bother yourself to reach me.

Regards,

DR. MICHAEL KING
GROUP MANAGING DIRECTOR (ECOWAS).
