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. Seth Awoudu) the regional manager of BARCLAYS BANK OF
GHANA (BBGH) Kumasi Branch in the eastern region of Ghana. I got your contact on a recent bank conference held South Africa with other Africa countries. I am writing this proposal in good faith; I am 43years 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 SIX MILLION, FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND
UNITED STATE DOLLARS ($6,500,000.00USD) 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 10% for any
expenses you might spend on the course of the transfer of the fund and
60% for me. 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 but please if you didn’t agree to work with me, kindly forget
that I contact you. 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. Seth Awoudu.
