I was motivated to make clear to you the true actual fact of how I came about
this fund after going through your previous records i was concerning that you
will be the one to handle this transaction, these I believe that you are a well
reputable business man with wealth of interest and charisma who understand the
language of international deal.
Let me start by introduceing myself to you i am Dr Henry Hudson, i am one of
the Government officials i will like you to help me in this transaction, this
fund was emanated from cause of over invoice of contract sum executed by foreign
companies to the republic of Ghana few years ago. The actual contractual sum of
the contract has been fully paid while the entire contract executed has been
fully commission by the ministry concern.
The over invoiced made on the cost of the contract was deliberately done by me
and some of our top government officials for our personal benefits. Basically,
the contract fund mapped out for the payments was lodged and assigned by a
commercial bank here in Ghana, which the difference of the excess fund now lie
fallow waiting for a foreign company to come up for clearance with proper
documents declaring as the rightful beneficiary to the excess fund at their
escrow account.
These, motivated me to use some of the money in buying properties outside the
country but has found it necessary to transfer the fund to a foreign account of
our choice base on proper arrangement made with a financial expert for an
advice. This I though of and decided to transfer the whole fund of
US$24,700.000.00 into your bank account in your country or any other account you
might suggest for.
Note, all underground work related to this transfer has been carefully and
adequately perfected o.k. in order to avoid any act of jeopardy. On receipt of
the money into your bank account, I and my colleagues shall come over to your
country for business investment with the fund, which we intent entering into a
joint real estate business venture or any business that will be good base on
your good advise as an international business expert.
We have decided to part/share the money with you after the transfer, for
assisting to this transaction. 25% will be given to you, while the remaining 75%
shall be for me and my colleagues involved. If these interest you to
participate, kindly notify me immediately on receipt of this message to enable
