Dear 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. william koffi, I am the regional Auditor
General of the International Commercial Bank 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

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 Auditor General 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 last year 2005 end of
year report, I discovered

dollars[US$4,550,000.00] 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: 45% for you 45% for me and the remaining 10% for any Tax or
Vat 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 Takoradi
branch so that my Head office can order the transfer to your designated
bank account.
