Dear Sir/Madam
I am Mr.Mensah Kojo the Auditor General of a Gold minning Corporation
here in Ghana .Certainly, the prompting of this letter to you is
anchored on my strong desire to solicit your sincere understanding and
co-operation in this transaction that would certainly boost the financial
stand of both parties involved when completed. As a matter of fact, We want
to transfer to overseas (US$ 152,000.000.00 USD) One hundred and Fifty two million United States Dollars) from the Gold minning company's
operating Bank account here in Ghana ,I want you to quietly look for a
reliable and honest person who will be capable and fit to provide either an
existing bank account or to set up a new Bank A/C immediately to
receive this money, even an empty account can serve to receive this money, as long as you will remain honest to me till the end of this important
transaction, trusting in you and believing in God that you will never let
me down either now or in the near future.
In all honesty, during the course of our auditing I discovered a floating fund of the above mentioned amount in account opened with the bank in 1990 and since then, nobody has operated on this account
again, after going through some old files in the records I discovered
that the money in the account was mapped out for the refurbishment of the Gold Company's Machineries. Meanwhile, Mr. Magnus Leon, the President
of the Gold Company was the only signatory to the account, but
unfortunately he died after a brief illness in 1993. And no other person knows about this account or any thing concerning it, and the account has no
other beneficiary. And my investigation proved to me that Mr. Magnus
Leon, until his death had wanted to siphoned that money into his personal
account in New York hence he did not disclose the operating devises of
the account to the Board of Trustees.
I am only contacting you in this regard, based on the fact that you are
a foreigner because, this money can only be approved to any foreigner
who can present all documents that will prove that he/she is the Next of
Kin/Beneficiary to the account base on the fact that Mr. Magnus Leon
the owner of this account is a foreigner, and the money can only be
approved into a foreign bank account.
Therefore, if you are capable of handling this transaction with me,
lets make the necessary arrangement for the hitch-free transfer of this
money to any safe bank account that you may nominate, on a share
percentage bases.
I shall commence actions immediately to process the payment of the
money in your favor as the beneficiary as soon as i receive a positive
response from you that you are capable of handling the transaction .
Yours Faithfully ,
Mr.Mensah Kojo
