Manager, international Bank Takoradi Ghana.
Dear Friend,
I hope this may not constitute sort of embarrassment to
you, first I must solicit your confidence in this
transaction, this is by virtue of its nature as being
utterly confidential and top secret. But I am assuring
you that all will be well at the end of the day. I have
decided to contact you due to the urgency of this
transaction, as I wish to rely on your discreteness and
ability in transaction of this nature. Let me start by
introduce my self properly to you,
My name is Mr. Kenneth Peter, I am the regional bank manager of the
International Commercial Bank of Ghana.
I came to know you in my Private Search for a reliable
and reputable person to handle this Confidential
Transaction. I am 30 years of age and married with 3
lovely kids. It may interest you to hear that I am a
man of PEACE and INTERGRITY; I only hope we can assist
each other.
I have packaged a financial transaction that will
benefit both of us, as the regional Auditor General
of the International Commercial Bank; it is my duty
to send in a financial report to my head office in the
capital city Accra at the end of each year. On the
course of last year 2006 end of year report, I discovered
that an excess profit of eight million five hundred and
fifty thousand dollars[US$8,550,000.00] which my head office
are not aware of and will never be aware of. I have since
place this fund on what we call SUSPENSE ACCOUNT
without any beneficiary.
As an officer of the bank I can not be directly
connected to this money, this is why I.m contacting you
for us to work so that you can assist and receive this
money into your bank account for us to SHARE. The
sharing of the fund are thus: 45% for you 45% for me and
the remaining 10% for any Tax or Vat expenses incurred in
this transaction. Note that there are practically no
risks involved in this transaction as it is 100% risk
free and legally bonded, it will be bank to bank
transfer, all I need from you is to stand claim as the
original depositor of this fund who made the deposit
with Takoradi branch so that my Head office can order the
transfer to your designated bank account.
If you accept this offer to work with me, If you find
this proposal suitable for you do furnish me with the
following information. Your full Name and Contact
Address, Your private telephone Number Your Age Your
Occupation and Position. I will appreciate it very
much,
If this proposal is acceptable by you, do not
make undue advantage of the trust I have bestowed on
you, and I assure you we can achieve it successfully.

Mr. Kenneth Peter
