Attn: Friend,
I hope this may not constitute sort of embarrassment to
you, first I must solicit your confidence in this
transaction, this is by virtue of its nature as being
utterly confidential and top secret. But I am assuring
you that all will be well at the end of the day. I have
decided to contact you due to the urgency of this
transaction, as I wish to rely on your discreteness and
ability in transaction of this nature. Let me start by
introduce my self properly to you, My name is Mr. Peter murphy,
I am the regional manager of the International
Commercial Bank of Ghana Takoradi in the Western Region
of Ghana.
I came to know you in my Private Search for a reliable
and reputable person to handle this Confidential
Transaction. I am 44years of age and married with 3
lovely kids. It may interest you to hear that I am a
man of PEACE and INTERGRITY; I only hope we can assist
each other.
I have packaged a financial transaction that will
benefit both of us, as the regional manager of the
International Commercial Bank; it is my duty to send in
a financial report to my head office in the capital
city Accra at the end of each year. On the course of
the last year 2004 end of year report, I discovered
that my branch in which I am the manager made five
million five hundred and fifty thousand dollars
[5,550.000.00] which my head office are not aware of
and will never be aware of. I have since place this
fund on what we call SUSPENSE ACCOUNT without any
beneficiary.
As an officer of the bank I can not be directly
connected to this money, this is why I.m contacting you
for us to work so that you can assist and receive this
money into your bank account for us to SHARE. The
sharing of the fund are thus: 30% for you 50% for I and
the remaining 20% for any legal expenses incurred in
this transaction. Note that there are practically no
risks involved in this transaction as it is 100% risk
free and legally bonded, it will be bank to bank
transfer, all I need from you is to stand claim as the
original depositor of this fund who made the deposit
with our branch so that my Head office can order the
transfer to your designated bank account.
If you accept this offer to work with me, If you find
this proposal suitable for you do furnish me with the
following information. Your full Name and Contact
Address, Your private telephone Number Your Age Your
Occupation and Position. I will appreciate it very
much, If this proposal is acceptable by you, do not
make undue advantage of the trust I have bestowed in
you, and how we can achieve it successfully.
Best regards,
Mr. Peter S.Murphy.
