Subject: WAITING FOR URGENT ATTENTION PLS
From Johnson Aliyu
Regional Manager Accra,Branch
Standard Chartered Bank
Accra-Ghana.
Greetings,
My name is Mr Johnson G.Aliyu, the regional manager of Standard
Chartered Bank of Ghana Ltd accra branch in the eastern Region of Ghana.
I write you this proposal in good faith; I am 52 Years old married with two
lovely kids. I have packaged a financial Transaction that will benefit you
and I, as the regional manager of the Standard Chartered Bank Ltd it is my
duty to send in a financial report To my head office in the capital city
Accra at the end of each business Year. On the course of last year 2005
business report, I discovered That my branch in which I am the manager
made Three Million Seven Hundred Thousand united state dollars ($3,700,000.00)
which my head office is Not aware of and will never be aware of.
I have placed this fund on what we call escrow call account with no
beneficiary. As an officer of this bank I cannot be directly connected
to this money, so my aim of contacting you is to assist me receive this
money in your bank account and get 30% of the total funds as
commission. There are practically no risks involved, the transaction
will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you
from any breach of the law, it will be simply a bank-to-bank transfer,
and all I need from you is to stand claim as the original depositor of
these funds who made the deposit with my branch so that my head office
can order the transfer to your designated bank account under few
working days.
If you accept to work with me I will appreciate it very
much as you are the first and the only person I am contacting for this
transaction. At this juncture, I wish to tell you what prompted me to
package this deal. I have a 9-year old daughter who has leukemia, a
disease of the blood, and she needs a bone marrow transplant or she
will die. I want this transplanting to be done in any good children
hospital in your country if there is one. Once this fund is transferred
into your account, I shall resign from my job and bring my family to
start a new life in your country. I would be grateful if you would help
me invest my own part of the money in a very profitable business. I
have worked for this bank for the past 15 years yet I have nothing to
show for it, I really need your assistance to secure this fund as soon
as possible.
Send me email as soon as you receive this message if you
think we can work together so that we can go over the details.
Truly
yours,
Mr Johnson G.Aliyu
