From: David Afram <afram_david22@yahoo.co.uk>
Date: Mon, 10 Jul 2006 10:54:15 +0100 (BST)
Subject: From: Barrister Afram David's chamber Accra Ghana
Hello Amarjit Singh
Compliments, I am Barrister David Afram, solicitor and notary public, and married with two lovely kids. I write you this proposal in good faith and i guess that am safe relating this matter to you through this medium. This is because (Internet) has greatly been abused recently, however I dont have any option than to reach you through this medium because I feel it is the fastest means of communication at the moment. I have packaged a financial transaction that will be of benefit to us. Be put on notice that this correspondence is unofficial and private, and it should be treated as such.
Please get in touch with me through my e-mail to enable us discuss further, or better still let me have your contact telephone numbers for oral details. It is important i hear from you.
Regards,
Barrister David Afram
