On December last year the total contract sum has been paid by the federal government to
the company after completing the project.Meanwhile this fund is now
floating in the offshore account of Central Bank Of Ghana waiting for
further transfer to any designated bank account. I have been mandated by my
friend (Engr. Tony Appiah) to seek the assistance of a trustworthy
foreign company or an individual who could help to provide a bank account
to receive the money for investment, without any hitch.Right now after
my country celebrated their 50yrs of Independent ,our country
governement approved the payment of all outstanding debts of all
foreign contractors .So we have arranged to use the opportunity to move this
fund out.
However, my friend has agreed to share 20% of the total sum to
you, while 5% is set aside for expenses.
Therefore, if this offer is acceptable to you, please indicate by
contacting me immediately through my alternative E-mail address:

this transaction.I look forward to hearing from you soon.
