Subject: GOOD DAY
Dear
Beloved Friend,
It's indeed my pleasure and honor to write you this letter, which I
believe will be a surprise message to you as we have never met before. My name
is (Mr. John Yeboah) the regional manager of INTERNATIONAL COMMERCIAL BANK OF
GHANA LTD (ICBG) TEMA BRANCH IN THE WESTERN REGION OF GHANA.
I got your contact on a recent bank conference held Africa with other Africa countries. I am writing this
proposal in good faith; I am 46years old and married with one lovely child.
I have packaged a financial transaction which I believe will interest
you but due to the situation of the world and rate of scammers on the
internet you might not want to consider my proposal but I bet it's worth given
a trial and it’s also absolutely risk free.
As the branch manager, it's my duty and obligation to summit to my head office
the financial report of my branch at the end of each business year. During the
year 2006 business report, I realize that my branch in which I am the manager
made the sum of EIGHT MILLION UNITED STATE DOLLARS ($8,000,000.00USD) from
the bank excess profit after trading with the capital sum and nobody in my
office or my head office is aware of this excess profit.
I have successfully deposit this fund in a FIXED CALL ACCOUNT without a
beneficiary to stand for it and as an officer of the bank, I cannot be
connected to this fund directly, so that is why I am contacting you to help me
stand in for the fund and have it transferred into your BANK ACCOUNT and I
promise to give 30% of the total fund as commission while 5% for any expenses
you might spend on the course of the transfer of the fund.
Like I told you before that there is practically no risk involved in this
transaction as it's going to be a bank-to-bank transfer and all I need from you
is to stand as the person who made this deposit with my branch so that my head
office can order the transfer of fund to your designated bank account.
I don't expect you to jump into conclusion as I know that it required a second
thought.
Hope to hear from you as soon as you conclude with your conclusion.
Thank you and May the good GOD bless you and your family as I await your reply.
Regards,
Mr. John Yeboah.
