Subject: To Your Kind Attention
Good day,
I am sure this letter will come to you as a surprise because myself who
is the writer have not in anyway come in close contact with you except
that my search for a good and reliable person I could confined on to carry
out
successfully a little business I have at hand.
However, scam mails which people send to various individuals and
companies on the internet have also made it so impossible for one to do
business
reliably with other internet users all over the world. I solicit and
hope that this letter will not be considered of treated like one of those
letters.
My name is Nana Elvis, a Ghanaian from West African sub region. I work
as a stockbroker with Ghana Stock Exchange for 5years now.
Last year, a contract was awarded to a foreign company here in Ghana by
the World Health organization to supply antenatal and post-natal drugs to
the rural dwellers and also a retrovirus drugs for HIV/AIDS patients. The
money that was meant for the procurements of these drugs was first deposited
to the Bank where a friend of mind works. Using his position in the Bank,
he brought the total money to the stock exchange market and traded with it
before the contractors/suppliers applied to the bank to withdraw the
money for the said purpose.
Now that the money have been recalled and the contractors withdrew it
to carry out their project, the dividend/gain made from the turnover of
the total money is $730,000.00 (Seven Hundred and thirty thousand US
Dollars) What I only want you to do for me is just to use your name to claim
the
money from the Stock Exchange Market which I will programmed in our
electronic system/database as the owner/beneficiary of the $730,000.00
which you traded with us.
As you know that the money is not up to $1,000,000.00, we will not go
through the rigorous process involved in money/wire transfer here in
Africa. We will instruct our accredited bank to raise a certified bank
draft that is valued the said amount with a draft certification in your
name to enable your local bank accept and honor the draft for payment
in your name.
Please I would prefer to elaborate the modalities to you in details
only when you accepted to do the business with me. We will also discuss what
will be your share for assisting me. You can send me a mail or as well
call me on the phone number below or write to me through
nanaelvisgh7@yahoo.com
for proper discussion on this.
Thank you,
Nana Elvis
