Subject: YOUR ASSISTANCE IS NEEDED
My Greeting to you,
I am sending you this message from the western part of Africa, Ghana to be
precise, I have choosing you to be the rightful person, after a brief check on your profile. I am retired Major General Williams Kwame Osei. I the have opportunity to be in a possession of huge amount of money in a renowned Bank in my country which I chosen not to mention now for security reasons,Without your utmost skepticism I have in my position thirty Million USA Dollar’s ($30.000.000)USD that we wish to transfer into a foreign account.
This money was generated through me and my partner Dr. Benard Akumarh who is the officer incharge of a reputable NGO in West Africa, The United State
Government has paid 1.2 Billion USD into the account of this NGO that
is been headed by Dr. Benard Akumarh in bid to the fight against Malaria
in Africa. The money has been meant for disbursement to the different
regions of West Africa as a whole after Disbursement we discovered that the
$30.000.000 was still remaining. Dr. Benard Akumarh is unwilling to
declare this amount to the board of the NGO nor the Government and since nobody is aware of these funds but Dr. Benard Akumarh and i have the entire file in our possession, as the major General in charge of the peace keeping in the trail before my retirement.
We have decided to transfer these funds to a foreign country where we can both invest wisely and start a new life; as for me, I have been a military Man all my life, I do not know much about investment, do you have an active current account to which these funds can be transferred into? Because I will like you to help me receive this money and invest it for me as my partner.
Please note that there is practically no risk on your
side,remember I am a retired Major General , so have no fear, and we are willing to give you 30% for your troubles. I hope you understand my point. This is why I contacted you to finalize this transaction . Kindly communicate your unwillingness to do this with us and I will forget I ever contacted you.
Thank you as I anticipate your swift response to this proposal.
Send Across to me Your Personal Telephone number for Proper Discussion.
Best regards,
Williams Kwame Osei
(Rtd Major General)
