Attn; Director

I am His Royal Highness Chief Angwafor S. Fru III, the vice Chairman of Cameroon People's Democratic Movement (CPDM Party), the ruling Party of the Republic of Cameroon.

I came across your profile as I was searching for a competent and reliable supplier/manufacturer that can handle a contract supply of Security Steel Doors for the CPDM Party of the Government of Cameroon sponsored by the CPDM Party of Cameroon and I learned that your company is into such business.

Regarding this contract; this is a contract supply of 15.000 Steel Doors for the CPDM Party of the Government of Cameroon according to the following specification and features:- Note that something similar to this is still considered.

I want you to understand that I am the Chairman of the Contract Award Committee of this contract and I have the authority to award this contract to any reliable supplier/manufacturer that is willing to cooperate with me and fulfills the contract conditions.

The reason why I am contacting you in this contract is because I want us to work together in this contract for mutual benefit. I want to know if you will be willing to co-operate with me in over-invoicing the total contract in my favor as I want to make a personal profit from this contract.

If this is okay by you, let me know so that I would let you know how I want us to handle this. I will also like to have your price estimates for this doors or something similar you produce so that I would let you know how we are going to handle it.

I received a very similar email from Hon.Simon Achidi Achu. I googled him and he is legit but as there are similar requests to other businesses I think this is a sophisticated fraud that specifies well researched order content. They wanted 50000 helmets on the contract they offered me...
