My name is Ambassador Kadre Desire Ouedraogo from Burkina Faso.

Since Resumed office as ECOWAS President Commission I have the privilege to meet with some reliable investors who are willing to invest in any lucrative business in your country. Some of the investors are still very active in politics. And they’re ready to hand over the money to you for the investment. I can only make this transaction with you in a very Secret and confidential manner due to my position as a President of the ECOWAS states Commission .If you know that you Are not capable to handle the project with me I will advise you not to reply to my mail.
