Good day,
I am sure this letter will come to you as a surprise because myself
who is the writer have not in anyway come in close contact with you
except that my search for a good and reliable person I could confined
on to carry out successfully a little business I have at hand.
My names are Kojo Mike Lucas, a Ghanaian from West African sub region. I work as a stockbroker with Ghana Stock Exchange for 15 years now. A devoted Christian and married with three children.
Last year, a contract was awarded to a foreign company here in Ghana
by the World Health Organization to supply antenatal and post-natal
drugs to the rural dwellers and also a retrovirus drugs for HIV/AIDS
patients. The money that was meant for the procurements of these drugs was first deposited in the Bank where a friend of mind works. Using his position in the Bank, he brought the total money to the Stock Exchange market and we traded with it before the contractors/suppliers applied to the bank to withdraw the money for the said purpose.
Now that the money has been recalled and the contractors withdrew it
to carry out their project, the dividend/gain we made from the turnover of the total money is $2, 230,000.00 (Two Million, Two Hundred and Thirty Thousand US Dollars only). What I only want you to do for me is just to use your name to claim the money from the Stock Exchange Market because I will programmed your name in our electronic system/database as the owner/beneficiary of the $2,230,000.00 which you traded with us.
As you know, the money involved is a little above $2,000,000.00; we
will not go through the rigorous process involved in money/wire
transfer here in Africa. We will instruct our accredited bank to raise
a certified bank draft that is valued the said amount with a draft
certification in your name to enable your local bank accept and honor
the draft for payment in your name.
Please I would prefer to elaborate the modalities to you in details
only when you accepted to do the business with me. We will also discuss what will be your share for assisting me. You can call me on the phone number or write to me through kojo_lucas@myway.com for proper discussion on this.
Thank you,
Kojo Lucas
