Happy New Year from Moses
Dear Sir,
My name is Dr Moses Ekwonwa. I am the regional manager of
Standard trust Bank Accra Ghana.I am writing this letter in good faith to you and also asking for your assistance in a financial transaction that I have packaged. I really hope I can trust you.
In the past financial year of 2005/2006 my
branch made an excess profit of $2,900,000.00 USD (Two Million Nine
Hundred Thousand United States Dollars), which I have placed on
a call deposit account and did not declare this to my head office in
Accra Ghana. All I am asking is for you to stand in stead as the
depositor of this fund with my bank so as for the bank to make a wire transfer to you I hope you understand. It is a simple bank-to-bank transfer, no risks involved and I have packaged the deal well.
The details are very simple, I would send to you a copy of the back dated debit voucher, I as the manager issued to you when you made the deposit sometime in October 2005 in my branch office in Accra Ghana, all you need do is write a letter to my head office in Accra the capital city of Ghana asking them for a wire transfer to you since you were meant to use this fund for a gold mining venture that failed to take place so you would want the bank to transfer back your funds via telegraphic wire transfer to your account.
Please you should not in any circumstance mention or
risk my involvement in this transaction. You made the deposit, and you want it transferred back to you. I hope you understand. Nobody in and outside the bank must know I am involved.
My friend let me tell you why I have packaged this deal. I have a 12 year old daughter who has a leukemia, a disease of the blood and she needs a bone marrow transplant or she will die I want this transplant done in any good children hospital in your country if there is one. The moment the transfer is effected into your account I will resign my job and bring my family to start a new life in your country, and I would be grateful if you would
help me invest my own part in a very profitable business. I have worked for this bank for the past 10 years. and I have nothing to show for it, my yearly income after tax is barely $2,500 USD, so you have to help mefriend. I am offering you a commission of 30% after the transfer is effected to your account. I await your immediate response.
Thank you
and God bless you.
Yours truly,
Dr Moses Ekwonwa
