Subject: Dear friend,
FROM EDWARD UBANI ACCRA, GHANA
Dear friend, My name is Mr.Edward Ubani, a political activist and consultant. I am the treasurer of my party's executive committee on Financial matters presently exiled in Ghana. My aim of contacting you is to crave your indulgence to assist us in securing some funds abroad for safe keeping which incidentally was kept to help us Finance the forth coming elections in my Country. Fortunately with my immediate ssistance, and contact, we were able to deposit the money in a security company vault in Ghana private goods pending when the fund would be needed. The need to contact you arose from the fact that the present government is cracking down on all oppositions, trying to trace all the funds and properties owned by our members and party faithfuls. However If they succeed in tracing these funds to us, they will seize it thereby incapacitating our quality campaign plans. We wish to relocate this fund in a foreigner's name urgently to avoid any trace.Therefore all I need from you is an assurance that you can handle these amount valued (US$19,500,000) confidentially. I would want you to handle this proposal with utmost care and understanding because our election is forth coming and any misfortune will affect us adversely so your maximum cooperation will be most appreciated.You should kindly respond through the above email address or phone number. Yours sincerely, MR EDWARD UBANI
