Subject: standard chartered Bank
Dear Friend.
My name is Mr.Koffi Isaac.I am the western region branch
manager of the standard chartered Bank of Ghana Ltd, in West
Africa.I am a Christian. I do not want problems but I just
hope you can assist me. I write you this letter in good faith.
I am in control of the sum of three million, eight hundred and
fifty thousand US dollars ($3,850,000.00) which was an excess of
profit made by our Eastern region branch office in the last quarter
of the year 2004, which I have carefully placed in an Escrow Call
Deposit Account and did not declare this to my head office, Can I
really trust you to hold this money for me until I arrive your country and pick it up myself and you deduct 30% of the total money as your commission?
All I need is for you to get me a good current account in your bank
where I can movethis money I will discreetly give you all the information concerning the account and the deposit so that you can apply to the bank for the release of the money. There is practically no risk involved; it will be simple bank-to-bank transfer. I hope you understand my situation.
Take my word.
Thank you and God bless.
Yours truly,
Mr.Koffi Isaac.
