Dear Sir,
I am Engr. Edward Mensah, the Project Engineer of
ASIP-
Ghana. And ASIP for the purposes of explanation
means--- AGRICULTURAL SECTOR INVESTMENT PROJECT (ASIP)
This is a World Bank sponsored Multi-Million U.S
Dollars Agricultural project in Ghana.
Forgive my indignation, if this letter comes to you as
a surprise and offend you, because you have no prior
knowledge of this. I got your contact during my search
for a reliable person to entrust this huge money
transfer project with.
As the Chief Engineer in charge of the project, I and
my colleagues involved in this project have agreed to
seek your mutual partnership into a huge money
transfer project. We wish to transfer the sum of Forty
Five Million united state Dollars ($45M) from the
project Fund into your personal or company�s Bank
account for our personal use..
This fund originate from over invoiced estimate we
made for materials at the project site This over
invoiced sum was deliberately hatched out and
carefully protected with all attendant lope holes
sealed off.
It was our consensus to seek your assistance to
provide us with the facilities to transfer this money
out of Africa. This is born out of our belief in the
non-stable economy and spurious political nature of
this Continent-region. If we agree to work together as
partners on this, then this sum of $45M will be
transferred into your Bank Account through African
Intercontinental Bank Ltd Accra-Ghana, because that is
the Bank where the world Bank Grant for the project,
of which I am in charge, is deposited
Based on the law and ethics of our service to ASIP, we
as civil servants are not allowed to operate a foreign
account
This is the more reason why we needed your assistance
to provide an account that can hold this funds when
transferred to your country. It is however agreed, as
the person providing the account to secure the funds
in your country, you are offered 15% of the total sum
as commission, 80% will be held on trust for us, while
5% is set aside to reimburse expenses incurred in the
course of executing the project. The project is
expected to be successfully completed within 14 days
if you accord us the maximum cooperation needed from
you.
We hope to retire peacefully and lead an honorable
business life after wards. There is no risk involved.

Waiting to hear from you.
With regards,
Engr.Edward Mensah.
