Hello friend,
Please don`t take this as a junk letter-it is real.
My name is Mr Charles Adila, an auditor in one of the commercial Banks in
Ghana.
I am writing to solicit your urgent assistance to transfer the sum of
US$5,760,000.00 to your account. This funds is the excess of what my Branch,
in which i was the head of the team made as profit during the last year
Auditing. I have already submitted an approved end of the year report for
the year 2006 to our head office here in Accra-Ghana and they will never
know of this excess.
I placed this amount of $5,760,000.00 on the bank`s pool account without a
beneficiary. As an employee in the Bank i cannot be directly connected to
the money that is why i am contacting you to assist in receiving the funds
into your bank account in your country, so that both of us can share the
funds.
This transaction is going to be a Bank-to-Bank transfer and I need you to
stand as the original depositor and beneficiary of the funds.
If you accept this offer, i will appreciate you send to me your personal
phone and fax numbers through this email address: charlesadila3@excite.com
or you call me on my private telephone number +233 209 320587, for more
details on the modalities of the transaction.
I wait for your prompt response.
Regards,
Charles Adila.
