Hello Sir,
My name is Mr. Kofi Yeboah, the regional manager of Standard Chartered Bank of Ghana Ltd Sprintex Road Branch Office Accra-Ghana. I am writing this proposal to you in good faith after getting your contact email address through a personal search; I am 56 Years old married with two lovely kids. I have packaged a financial Transaction that will benefit you and me, as the regional manager of the Standard Chartered Bank of Ghana Ltd it is my duty to send in a financial report to my head office in the capital city Accra at the end of each business Year. On the course of last year 2005/2006 business report, I discovered that my branch in which I am the manager made Twelve million seven hundred thousand united state dollars ($12,700,000.00) which my head office is not aware of and will never be aware of.
I have placed this fund on what we call Escrow call account with no beneficiary. As an officer of this bank I cannot be directly connected to this money, so my aim of contacting you is to assist me receive this money in your bank account and get 40% of the total funds as commission. There are practically no risks involved, the transaction will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law, it will be simply a bank-to-bank transfer, and all I need from you is to stand claim as the original depositor of these funds who made the deposit with my branch so that my head office can order the transfer to your designated bank account under few working days.
If you accept to work with me I will appreciate it very much as you are the first and the only person I am contacting for this transaction. At this juncture, I wish to tell you what prompted me to package this deal. As the manager of the bank I am not entitled to such huge amount of money and that is why the money was deposited in an Escrow call account without a beneficiary. Please once this fund is transferred into your account, I shall resign from my job and bring my family to start a new life in your country. I would be grateful if you would help me invest my own part of the money in a very profitable business. I have worked for this bank for a long period of time yet I have nothing to show for it, I really need your assistance to secure this fund as soon as possible.
I will appreciate your timely response as soon as you receive this message if you think we can work together so that we can go over to the details or call me on +233242911131 or my email address kofiyeboah1960@yahoo.com for more details.

Mr.Kofi Yeboah.
