Subject: PLEASE MAY I KNOW IF YOU ARE INTERESTED...

Good Day,

Please I apologize using this medium to reach you; I am Engineer Emmanuel Kofi, Assistant Director Ghana Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), and also the chairman of the in-house committee that vetted the various bids submitted by various contracting firms for the expansion/renovation project of all the International Airports in the Republic of Ghana.

The eventual winners of the bid and executors of the projects had a secret pact with me, to inflate the contract/project cost to the tune of US$18.5 Million Dollars (Eighteen Million Five Hundred United State Dollars) as my gratification for assisting them win the right of execution of these contracts/projects. The contractor had since completed the contract, and job-completion certificate duly awarded to them. Furthermore, their payment has also been fully made to them leaving behind the US$18.5 Million Dollars meant for my gratification which was packaged as family treasures and deposited in one of the security companies here in my country Ghana with a fictitious name to avoid trace.

The problem now is that, as a senior civil servant, I declare my assets annually which I, in turn submit to the civil service commission and the state security service for investigation and clearance. As such, there is no-way that I can defend the US$18.5 Million Dollars (Eighteen Million Five Hundred United State Dollars) as an addition to my assets for the year without implicating myself. Above all, the civil service “Act” prohibits every civil servant in my country from operating a foreign account while still in active public service. Also, I cannot rely on my fellow Ghanaian to assist me in claiming this fund without exposing myself, and losing claim of the fund.

Therefore, I need your assistance as a foreigner to cooperate with me and front yourself as next of kin to the depositor of these luggage's and claim it from the security company where it is deposited and take 40% as your reward plus cost.

Should you be interested, kindly indicate by forwarding to me the below information:
Full Name: ..............................................................
Contact Address: .....................................................
Direct Telephone Number: .....................................
Age: ........................................................................
Occupation and Position: ........................................
Marriage Status: ......................................................
Gender: ...................................................................
A copy of your I.D: ................................................

I shall provide you with more details and relevant documents as soon as I receive the above requested information from you.

However, I want to emphasize here that this deal is free from any form of risk from both parties as great care has been exercised in perfecting it, and therefore, I enjoin you to approach it with an open mind and without any fear whatsoever. As a deal, I make haste to advise that you should be private about it.

PLEASE CHANNEL ALL CORRESPONDENCES TO: emmanuelkofi@myself.com

Yours Faithfully,
Engineer Emmanuel Kofi.
