Subject: Please My Good Friend, Your Attention is Needed Urgently, (From Honorable Akwasi Osei-Adjei
Attn: My Good Friend,
I am Ambassador Akwasi Osei Adjei, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ghana ;my
office monitors and controls the affairs of all banks and financial
institutions in Ghana concerned with foreign contract payments.
I am the final signatory to any transfer or remittance of huge funds moving
within banks both on the local and international levels in line to foreign
contracts settlement.
I have before me list of funds, which could not be transferred to some
nominated accounts as these accounts have been identified either as ghost
accounts, unclaimed deposits and over-invoiced sum etc.
As it is my duty to recommend the transfer of these surplus funds to the
Federal Government Treasury and Reserve Accounts as unclaimed deposits, I
have the opportunity to write you based on the instructions I received two
days ago from the Parliamentary Committee on Contract Payments / Foreign
Debts to submit the List of payment reports/ expenditures and audited
reports of revenues. Among several others,
I have decided to remit a contract sum into your account following my idea
that we have a deal /agreement and I am going to do this legally.
*MY CONDITIONS*
1. The sum of USD$9.9Million only will be transferred into your nominated
account by telegraphic Transfer (T/T), confirmable in 7 working days after
you have confirmed the transfer of the funds into your account,35% out of
the whole sum will be for you, 10% for any expenses that may accrue during
the transaction while 55% will be for me.
2. This deal must be kept secret forever, and all correspondence
will be strictly by email / telephone, for security purposes.
3. There should be no third parties as most problems associated with your
fund release are caused by your agents or representative.If you AGREE with
my conditions, l advise you on what to do immediately and the transfer will
commence without delay as I will proceed to fix your name on the Payment
schedule instantly to meet the seven working days mandate.
I hope you don't reject this offer and have your funds transferred.
Waiting for your reply soonest response.
Be in peace.
