worthy person to entrust this huge transfer project with, and a financial
expert who came in from your country recommended you to me, my name is Mr.

that this transaction can benefit the both of us, knowing you are advance
in age with the fear of God, but if you are not willing to get involved in
the Deal, do not REPLY THIS MAIL, as you will never hear from me again. I
am writing to solicit your assistance in the transfer of Us$12,500.000.00.This
fund is the excess of what my branch in which I am the manager made as profit
during the last year. I have already submitted an approved end of the year
report for the year 2007 to my head office Here in Ghana and they will never
know of this excess. I have since then, placed this amount of us $12,500.

bank, I cannot directly connect to this money thus; I am requesting your assistance

fund to you while 60% shall be for me. I do need to stress that there are
practically no risk involved in this. It is going to be a bank-to-bank transfer.
All I need from you is to stand as the original depositor of this fund. If
you accept this offer, I will appreciate your timely response. With Regards,
