Dear Madras,
I have read your mail and it is well noted, I am happy that you have the interest to assist me in this transaction and as i stated in my proposal to you ,i will give you 30% of the total fund as soon as the fund gets into your account.
I want to assure you that this fund transfer is very viable and will be completed within Ten working days if given the needed attention and the mapped out modalities to ensure a smooth transfer of the fund into a nominated account.
As I have told you previously, this fund is only know by me and you for now and will never be discovered as I have carefully prepared my end of the year report which have been long approved, while I have left this U.S.$7,5 in a suspense account since 10th of December 2004. And I have proposed to retire immediately this fund is transferred.
I also intend to invest this fund with you but my question is to know how capable you are to keep this fund save till the intended disbursement as agreed, I also want to know about you and what you are doing for a living.
Note that this fund will be bank-to-bank transaction and will be transferred via wire transfer as I have already prepared a way to execute this transfer smoothly with out hitch.
The following are the professional modalities that i have mapped out to actualise the transfer of the funds to any account you would nominate.
(1)I will program your names on the Database of the International commercial bank Ghana as the depositor and holder of the Escrow call account holding the funds.
(2)I will issue a back dated deposit slip showing your name as the holder of the Escrow call account.
(3)I will provide you with a draft of an application that you are going to forward to my head office here in Accra,requesting the closure/wire transfer of the funds to your designated bank account.
To actualise the above steps,i would need the following,
(1) Your full names;
(2)Date of birth, place of birth and country of birth;
(3)Profession and nationality;
(4)Full contact address and country;
(5)Phone- and fax number
I anticipate a favourable business relationship and hope you respond quickly to my e-mail.
Do not hesitate to ask any question in case there is nothing you do not understand about the transaction
and the inherent procedures as outlined above.
My regards,
Mr.john kofi
