Dear Sir,
I hope that this mail will not be an embarrassment to you;my name is Mr.Kwame
Frank. The Special Adviser of the embattled ex-Senate president of the Ghana
who is under detention at the moment.
Just recently I went to see him in his detention place he confidently told
me that he has some amount of money Deposited in a Bank here in Ghana and
after he told me where to see the certificate of deposit which I saw intact.
A total of $6M was deposited now since we (Service members) are closely monitored
by the incumbent government. We wish to employ your services to act as our
Fund Manager abroad to claim this sum from the bank and invest the money
in your country till we are ready to come over to take over the investment
from you.
All you will do is to apply with the bank for the claim of the fund into
your account .Then we will write an order for the bank to transfer the money
into the account that you send for the transaction and once this is achieved
the name that was bearing on the Deposit slip will be completely erased from
the transaction and it make the whole thing risk free.
Upon request I will send to you a copy of the application and the full contact
of the bank for you to contact them as the Oversea Fund Manager. Considering
the effort you will put in the transaction starting from the setting of the
account to the investment of the money we are willing to concede 25% of the
money to you as compensation, while we will write an asset management agreement
between us for you to invest the remaining 75% on our behalf.
We will want to know you well and therefore you are expected to send to us
your CV, information as well as any other means of proper Identification.
Even though the transaction will be based on mutual trust. Please if this
proposal interests you, please make sure you get back to me as soon as possible
via my direct line and email as stated above. Please keep this matter as
a top secret till the end of the transaction.
N:B reply through my private mail for security reason kwamefrank@k.ro
