Subject: A Very Good Day To You
A Very Good Day To You.
I am DR.DAVID JOHN an accountant and principal overseer with the Ghana
Mining Corporation. I got your contact through a friend in my local chamber
of commerce in collaboration with the American Consulate here in Ghana. This
is in line with my quest for a reliable and reputable person/company to
handle a very confidential transaction, which involves transfer of fund to a
foreign account.
This said fund (US$20.5m) Twenty million, five hundred thousand United
States dollars, is reportedly made to be a variation and accumulation of
equity investment made in the Ghana Mining corporation in the period of
1983-1987. This redeemable investment interest, has now matured and has long
been cleared for disbursement but with no apparent knowledge of who the
investors are, as most of the investors then, were corrupt government
officials and their cronies under the obnoxious apartheid regime who used
pseudo names and aliases in the transactions, and could not come up for
claims under the present political setting in Ghana.
After due consultative sessions with my colleagues in the account department
at the mining corporation, I discovered that none of them knows about the
funds. So I decided to confiscate the funds and placed it in a private trust
company for safe keeping, awaiting further transfer to a foreign account for
further business ventures. I cannot handle this transaction on my name
because we were not allowed to operate an offshore account while still in
service. What I need now is a foreign national who can assist me in the
transfer of this fund, and also to help invest the fund in a risk free
venture. If you are willing to assist me in this transfer, I have agreed to
compensate you with a certain percentage(20%) of the total sum (US$20.5m)
through mutual negotiations. Your specialty is not a barrier to this
transaction as I have mapped out strategies to effectively actualize this
transaction.
Thank you for your anticipated co-operation, and I hope to hear from you
soon, to enable me give you full details of the transactions. And also
remember to maintain absolute confidentiality as any leakage of information
may jeopardize our chance of receiving this money.
Re-confirm to me with the followings via to my email:
{drdavidjohn1@yahoo.com}
(1) Your full name.
(2) Phone, fax and mobile #.
(3) Company's name,position and address.
(4) Profession, age and marital status.
(5) Copy of int'l passport /Valid Drivers License
Best regards,
DR. DAVID JOHN
