Subject: MESSAGE FROM PAUL 05/02/2007
Dear Friend,
Do not be surprised about receiving this utmost
confidential offer from somebody you do not know.
It is as a result of the urgency and nature of the
business that made me to contact you in this manner.
My name is Mr.Paul Petersern, a Ghanaian, bank officer
with one of the leading banks in Ghana. I am writing
this memo following an immense opportunity in my
office that will be of benefit to us all.
After going through some old files in the record
books, we discovered some large amount of funds of US
$10.5M (Ten Million five Hundred Thousand United
States Dollars) lodge in the account of a foreign
businessman.
The owner of this account is MR David Clemetson,a
foreigner from U.S.A; He was a contractor/consultant
to KRUGER MINING (SA) INCa South African Government
Own Mining Company.
He died in an air crash along with his family in Feb
4th, 2000 in an Alaska AirlinesFlight 261 with other
passengers onboard. You can confirm this from the
website below from publisher by
http://www.cnn.com/2000/US/02/01/alaska.airlines.list/
No other person knows about this account or anything
concerning it, theaccount has no other beneficiary and
my investigation proved to me aswell that his company
does not know anything about this private account in
Ghana.
I am only contacting you as a foreigner because this
money cannot be approved to a local Bank here, but can
only beapproved to any foreign account because the
money is in US Dollars and the diseased owner of the
account is Mr. David Clemetson is a foreigner too.
If we do not remit these funds out urgently it would
be forfeited for nothing to the Government.
Our constraint is to be able tosource an honest and
trustworthy individual, to whom we can remit these
funds and act as trustee pending our visit.
I can guarantee you, my colleagues and I are in the
position to make this opportunity fruitful, provided
you can give us the assurance and guarantee that our
share will be secured and this deal is 100% risk free,
keep it confidential.
Visualize this one time opportunity as an indirect
financial resource; also your area of specialization
is not a hindrance.
Kindly contact me upon your willingness to assisting us.
Yours Faithfully,
Paul Petersern
