Subject: TO YOUR KIND ATTENTION.
FROM: ManagerInternational Commercial Bank.Kaneshie Branch, Accra-Ghana.West Africa. Sir/madam, My name is Mr.Vincent Osei; I am the regional manager of the international commercial bank of Ghana. I am 44 years of age married with 3 lovely kids. I got your information through the Internet and hope and wish that we can work together and do business together. I have successfully and carefully packaged a financial transaction that will benefit both of us. The Oil-for-Food Programme, established by the United Nations in 1995 (under UN Security Council Resolution 986) and terminated in late 2003, was intended to allow Iraq to sell oil on the world market in exchange for food, medicine, and other humanitarian needs for ordinary Iraqi citizens without allowing Iraq to rebuild its military.The programme was introduced by the US Clinton Administration in 1995 in colaboration with the Secretary General of United Nations (Kofi Annan). 
; This programme was designed by few top officials and other prominent personalities that were behind the war to sell Iraqi oil to enrich their private pockets.With the influence of Kofi Annan As a Ghanian,most of the money that was realised from the oil transaction was lodged in the bank where i am a manager. Using my position as the Bank manager, I used the total money which they lodged in my branch for safe keeping and traded in the stock exchange market before they applied to the bank to withdraw the money and splited and transferred it to their various bank accounts.The dividend/gain i made from the turnover of the total money is $3,300,000.00 (Three million,three hundred thousand US Dollars).I also lodged this turnover made in our bank escrow account for onward transfer to a bank account of whoever i presented as the beneficiary. As the manager and an employee of the bank, I can not be directly involved and connected with the money, so this has
informed my contacting you for us to work together so that you can assist in receiving this money into your bank account for us to share. For your involvement and participation in the scheme, you shall receive 40% of the total money after conclusion. The transaction (scheme) is risk free and the money will be transferred to your designatedaccount through bank-to-bank transfer via telegraphic wire transfer. All that you will require to do is to stand and make claim as the original and bonafide depositor of the funds with the bank (my branch) so that my head office will give approval for the transfer of the funds to your designated account. Note that as the manager of my branch of the bank ,that all the requisite and necessary arrangements have been masterfully and expertly put in place to facilitate your successful claim of the money and the eventual transfer of the money. Upon your reply of this mail and your indication of interest in the transaction, I sha
ll oblige you further details. Awaiting your prompt response. Best regards,Mr.Vincent Osei.
