ATTENTION
DEAR FRIEND
I am Mr Dan kuffor Chairman of west African
Clearing House Acrra Ghana. The West African Clearing
House is a Security Company duely registered with the
appropriate authorities.
Since six years ago one Zimbabwiean (Mr Francis
Carden) who served under the president Mugabe‘s
government as a Minister came to West African Clearing
House (WACH) and deposited Sum of ($35.5 Million) in
the Security Company,and The due process of our
Company was followed and he deposited the fund to our
care.
As it stands now,The man in question has never for
once since the past three years visited our company or
call us like he us to do in the past as a result of
this i carried out inquiry to his way about and my
investigations revealed that the man in question died
two years ago.
The entire house hold does not know anything about
this money and Infact wouldn‘t even be interested if
they know about it. This is because the minister fell
out with president Mugabe and his death is being
directed to Mugabe‘s government. That is by the way
though, Why i am relaying this to you now is that i
have completely hatched plans on how to divert the
said fund using my office as the Chairman of W.A.C.H.
as it stands, No man can question my authority within
the campany my signature is final within the companies
Jurisdiction.
One problem i am having now is on the area of the
limitations of my powers. I can not move such amount
of money out of Ghana on my own and i can not deposit
such amount into any Commercial bank in Ghana in my
name. This was the same problem the minister had that
made him bring the money over to Ghana from Zimbabwe.
his position as a minister was an adverntage that was
why he could even move the money over to Ghana without
having problem with the authorities at the air port.
simply put, He enjoyed Deplomatic Immunity.
What you will do is very simple provide me with your
particulars-Surname, First name, Address, Country of
origin, company name if any. With these i will be able
to first of all transfer the ownership of the fund to
you by changing all the documents relating to the said
trasaction. Once this is done, The next step will be
that you will required to come over to Ghana to open
an account with a Bank in which the fund will be
trasferred into.
This is because forigners are given serious concession
concerning financial trasaction as most major
contracts that has to do with large sums are carried
out by foriegners. When this fund is deposited in the
bank in your name, We can then prepare bank draft from
the Bank, Make wire transfer, Provide your account
number in your country to the bank and ask them to pay
transfer some money into the account. We can take bank
draft of various sums and deposit in your home country
on the same account and they will be cleared.
By the use of all these methods of transfer, We will
be able to move the entire fund over to your country
without any form of suspicion from any body. One thing
i would like to make clear at this juncture is that
you and I will have to share the fund on the
percentage bases of 60% for me and 30% for you while
we use 10% to settle all expenses.
One more thing is that trust is required in a very
high magnitude as i do not wish to face the
possibilities of loosing this fund to a greedy person
who may outwit me if he gets pocession of the said
fund in his bank account.
I look forward to your kind gestue if the conditions
are okay by you. you can get back to me on my private email address
dan_k512@yahoo.com
Thanks
Mr Dan kuffor
