I GOT YOUR INFORMATION IN A PROFESSIONAL DATABASE WHEN I WAS SEARCHING
THROUGH INTERNET FOR A RELIABLE, HONEST AND TRUSTWORTHY PERSON TO ENTRUST
THIS BUSINESS WITH. I WAS SIMPLY INSPIRED AND MOTIVATED TO PICK YOUR CONTACT
FROM THE MANY NAMES IN THE LIST OF THE DIRECTORY.
AFTER MY VIEW AND YOUR PROFILE, I WAS VERY MUCH SATISFIED AND DECIDED TO
CONTACT YOU IMMEDIATELY FOR THIS MUTUAL BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP.
My name is Mr.Douglas Boateng, manager of the above named financial
institution.I am a Ghanaian married with two kids. I am writing to solicit
your assistance in the transfer of $4,550.000 U.S Dollars.
This fund is the excess of what my branch in which I am the manager made as
profit during the 2004 financial year. I have already submitted annual
report for that year to my head office here in Accra as I have watched with
keen interest as they will never know of this excess.
I have since, placed this amount of $4,550.000 U.S Dollars on an Escrow
Coded account without a beneficiary (anonymous) to avoid trace.
As an officer of the bank, I cannot be directly connected to this money thus
I am impelled to request for your assistance to receive this money into your
bank account on my behalf.
I intend to part 30% of this fund to you while 70% shall be for me. I do
need to stress that there are practically no risk involved in this. It's
going to be a bank-to-bank transfer. All I need from you is to stand as the
original depositor of this fund so that the fund can be transferred to your
account.
If you accept this offer, I will appreciate your timely response to my
private:douglasboateng_reservebureau@gawab.com
With Regards,
Mr. Douglas Boateng.
