Dear Miss Maria Johnson,
Thank you for your prompt reply. Before I proceed, let me introduce myself. I am Dr. Mohammed Bin Saleh Al-Sada, as you already known, and I am a staff of Qatar Petroleum, Doha Qatar. I was born on the January 21st, 1968. I studied Finance and Account in the American University in Dubai and did my masters degree in Harvard University USA. Before I contacted you, I prayed to Allah to guide and direct me to an honest and trustworthy man or group of individual that can assist me in this business deal.
Having said, my dear friend, I will like to tell you more about the said fund in question. First and foremost, be rest assured that this transaction is very transparent and 100% risk free. I am the head of Finance and Account here at Qatar Petroleum and I understand how fund is being moved in and out of our company. As the man in the helm of affairs in the Finance / Account department of Qatar petroleum, my duty is to verify and pay contractors.
I have implicit confidence in Allah, who has guided/directed me to you, and trust in your ability to partner with me, confidentially in this business deal, for mutual disbursement or to invest wisely for profit oriented venture, when the fund is transferred to you. Having said the above, my dear friend, I will not hesitate in telling you more details and the source of the fund.
Actually, this US$52 Million was acquired from an over invoiced contracts that was executed by foreign contractors here in my company, Qatar Petroleum, and the Contracts has been perfectly executed and the original contractors, and their contract sums fully paid, and the over invoiced still in the Excess Crude Account of Qatar Petroleum.
I need your assistance to move this over invoiced fund into any of your account, as I am going to present you as a contractor that has not been paid of this over invoiced sum. To achieve this, we will firstly register your name/company as Category 'A' Contractor with the Qatar Petroleum and use the registration certificate to procure all the necessary contract documents (Contract Award and Completion Certificates) which shall be submitted to my office for approval and payment. We are going to follow all due process to achieve this goal (Documentations) and you will appreciate it as we progress.
Thereafter the documentations, I will approve and order for immediate payment and transfer of the fund into your bank account through any of our bank account either here in Qatar or Abroad.
I have been able to finalize with the Attorney (Abraham Duncan & Associates) that will register your company with the Contract Tender Board and document the payment/contract file.
He will be arriving from UAE today to proceed and will firstly contact you with further directives. Thus, I will want you to send the following information to me for the documentation at the Qatar Financial Center;
1, Your company name or the name you would want to be used as the company that executed the contract with Qatar petroleum, that has not been paid by Qatar Petroleum.
2. Your address and telephone number for easy communication, while I wait for your prompt and urgent reply.
