Subject: VERY URGENT AND CONFIDENTIAL
*Hello My Dear Friend.
I presumed that all is well with you and your family. I know that this will
come to you as a surprise proposal but I got your contact through a reliable
source from the database in Ghana chambers of commerce, Few weeks ago,
before I decided to contact you on this lucrative offer for our future
survival in life, I checked with the Chambers and got your contact,My name
is Mr. Matthew Delata, manager of a financial institution. But I believe it
is only a day that people meet and become great friends/ business partners.
I am a Ghanaian married with kids. I am writing to solicit your assistance
in the transfer of $19,300.000.00 U.S Dollars. This fund came from the
interest of the fund that was lent to some customers, in my branch where I
am the manager and we made about 100% profit during the 2006 financial year.
the loan we gave to some government parasatals and only 50% was declared
because the bank did not even expect about 30% of profit but we got 50%, and
you can agree with me that we have given even more than expected, that is
the main reason why I had to package this transaction.Because the way this
transaction is, it can not cause problem even in 100 years to come because
my bank do not know about it, it is 100% risk free.
I have already submitted annual report for that year to my head office here
in Accra as I have watched with keen interest as they will never know of
this excess. I have since, placed this amount of NINETEEN MILLION, THREE
HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED STATES DOLLARS ($19,300,000.00) on an Escrow Coded
account without a beneficiary (Anonymous) to avoid trace. As an officer of
the bank, I cannot be directly connected to this money thus I am constrained
to request for your assistance to receive this fund into your bank account
on my behalf.
I agree that 40% of this money will be for you as a foreign partner, in
respect to the provision of a foreign account, and 60% would be for me. I do
need to stress that there are practically no risk involved in this. It's
going to be a bank-to-bank transfer. All I need from you is to stand as the
original depositor of this fund so that the fund can be transferred to your
account. If you accept this offer, I will appreciate your timely response to
me.
This is why and only reason why I contacted you, I am willing to invest the
fund in line with your directives, So please if you are interested to assist
on this venture kindly contact me back for a brief discussion on how to
proceed.
My best regards,
Matthew Delata*
