Dear Friend,
My name is Mr.Tony Anthony 41 years of age I am compelled to contact
you as result of a lifetime business relationship I wished to establish
with you honorable self. I am a God fearing gentleman of the confidence
that God will certainly create an enabling environment in our midst
through which his name will be glorified.
I am the Eastern regional Auditor General of the Internatioanl
commercial Bank Of Ghana. I am a Christian.I write you this letter in
good faith believing both of us will work with one accord for the
realization of this project.I am in control of the sum of Twelve million,
Eight Hundred and Fifty Thousand US Dollars ($12,850,000.00) that was
an excess of profit made by our Eastern region branch office in the last
quarters of the year 2005.
Due to the present political position of this country, I have carefully
placed the afore said fund 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? This is
where the problem lies. You will be entitled to 35% of the total money
as your commission if you will be human enough to work with me.. If you
accept my offer you can contact me immediately
All I need is your formidable current account where the money will be
moved accordingly. I will discretely give you all the information
concerning the account and the deposit so that you can apply to my
headquarters directly for the re-location of the money. There is practically no
risk involved; it will be a bank-to-bank transfer. I hope you
understand my situation.Thank you and God bless.
Very truly yours,
Mr.Tony Anthony
