Hier wieder der Mann aus der Zahncremewerbung: Dear xxx
I'm indeed glad to receive your response. As I made known earlier, I'm a representative of Exxonmobil in London and as it is now, time is running out on us and we stand to loose the fund to the company. The accumulated US$12.2 (Twelve Million Two Hundred Thousand United States dollars) was generated from several already paid contracts which is presently causing a difference in our accounts. However, you are required to step-in as a contractor to the company and the fund will be re profiled in your name and paid to you accordingly.
Considering the nature of the business, a lot of search, consideration and selection were conducted for a capable hand to work with, by the various heads of department and officials involved in this transaction and you were selected and contacted accordingly. This is due to the general practice in the corporate world that the interest of an agent (employee) should not conflict with that of the principal (employer). For this ethical purpose and that of confidentiality, it was thought that a person that is not related to any of us is best for this transaction. This will also enable us use our various offices to support and defend this course to the fullest and ensure that the transaction is successfully concluded as planned.
Well, what I need to confirm from you to enable us initiate the transfer process is your trust and dedication to this business. We stand to loose so much by not engaging in it and thus appeal to your conscience to work on the positive side with us and we shall all be happy individuals in the end. I hold all the documentation concerning the contract and the outstanding payment being the company's recognized representative in London but of great importance is your understanding and cooperation to handle it adequately and confidentially as we are still in active service with the company. The transfer process is simple and fast and shall be concluded within two working weeks. As soon as we complete the registration and documentation with the company, you shall be contacted by the accounts department and the bank for further credit of the fund to your designated bank account after the documents must have been passed through the British Royal High Court for authentication and to protect every one of us from any breach of the law.
Thus, you shall decide personally how and where you want to receive the fund and we shall be meeting with you for our own share and for further investment together, as 20% of the entire sum will be yours. This is what we need you to know and hope you will see every reason to see this to the end with us. The laws guiding transfer of money in this country are straight forward and simple and we shall be there all the way to ensure the prompt release of the fund.
We have opened up to you with hope that this transaction is built on trust and mutual understanding that we are to benefit in the end. If you are in agreement and still wish to go on, though I implore you to, please reply as soon as you receive this mail.
Sincerely,
William Colgate II
