The contracts whichthe over invoiced sums was created from has beenexecuted and commissioned. What I am about toreceive now, is the over estimated funds whichwas added during the process of obtaining thecontracts for my own interest.  This is a normaldeal that goes in my Ministry by top officials.

My department approves payments tocontractors, and I happen to head the department.All I want from you is to receive these funds onmy behalf as a Sub-Let Company, because asGovernment Official I cannot collect the fundsdirectly from my Ministry, neither I am allowedby Law to operate/ run foreign bank accounts.If you are trustworthy and can assist me inreceiving the fund, do not hesitate to respondback to me immediately.
