Subject: PLEASE CAN I TRUST YOU TO ASSIST ME COMPLETE THIS TRANSACTION?
My Dear Friend,
Do not be surprised about receiving this utmost confidential offer from somebody you do not know.
It is as a result of the urgency and nature of the business that made me to contact you in this manner. My name is Mr.Paul Petersern, a Ghanaian, bank officer with one of the leading banks in Ghana. I am writing this memo following an immense opportunity in my
office that will be of benefit to us all.
After going through some old files in the record books, we discovered some large amount of funds of US $10.5M (Ten Million five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) lodge in the account of a foreign businessman.
The owner of this account is MR David Clemetson,a foreigner from U.S.A; He was a contractor/consultant to KRUGER MINING (SA) IN Ca South African Government
Own Mining Company. He died in an air crash along with his family in Feb 4th, 2000 in an Alaska Airlines Flight 261 with other passengers on board. You can confirm this from the website below from publisher by
http://www.cnn.com/2000/US/02/01/alaska.airlines.list/
No other person knows about this account or anything concerning it, the account has no other beneficiary and my investigation proved to me as well that his company does not know anything about this private account in Ghana.
I am only contacting you as a foreigner because this money cannot be approved to a local Bank here, but can only be approved to any foreign account because the money is in US Dollars and the diseased owner of the account is Mr. David Clemetson is a foreigner too.
If we do not remit these funds out urgently it would be forfeited for nothing to the Government. Our constraint is to be able to source an honest and trustworthy individual, to whom we can remit these funds and act as trustee pending our visit.
I can guarantee you, my colleagues and I are in the position to make this opportunity fruitful, provided you can give us the assurance and guarantee that our share will be secured and this deal is 100% risk free, keep it confidential.
Visualize this one time opportunity as an indirect financial resource; also your area of specialization is not a hindrance.
Kindly contact me upon your willingness to assisting us.
Yours Faithfully,
Paul Petersern
