Dear friend,
My name is Mr. Thompson Adjei, I work in a managerial position in a well
respected security company, with a head office in Accra ¡V Ghana
I am contacting you because of an urgent business transaction that I want to
do with a trusted foreigner, I got your email information from one of my
good friends who works with Ghana's Chamber of Commerce and industry on
foreign business relations here in Accra-Ghana though I did not disclose the
deal to him. When he gave me your email address, I did not ask him his
source because I trust his judgment, having known him for a very long time.
On the 25th of November 2003, the sum of $41,500.000 was deposited with my
company, disguised as a family heirloom in a trunk box, this is not the only
time that corrupt government officials uses the services of my company to
ship their ill gotten wealth abroad or secure it for futur e use. I took
exceptional note of this deposit because it was large and as the man at the
helm of affairs then, I got to know the man behind the deposit, Late
President Gnassingbe Eyadema who died on February 2005.
The reason for my contacting you is that I checked and found out that the
deposit is still intact and nobody has asked for it, and I know that nobody
will ever ask for it, I am the only living soul who knows the true identity
of the depositor, no other person can retrieve the deposit except the person
can produce the codes combination which was given to the depositor, the way
we operate is that if the depositor wants to retrieve his deposit, he will
instruct the company in writing and give his codes and if the manager
confirms the code, the deposit will be released at once to the person, no
name or identification is needed.
If you accept to work with me, I will give you the instruction letter to
send to my company and also when the compa n y asks for the codes, I will
give them to you
Please if you are not interested in this business let me know so that I can
contact someone else.
Please send your response through my alternative email addresses below for
security measures ( thomposadjei@katamail.com)
My best regards.
Mr. Thompson Adjei
