Subject: Business Proposal
From
The Manager,
International Commercial Bank Ghana
First Light Branch
Tema, Ghana.
Federal Republic of Ghana
West
Africa,
Sir,
I got your
contact during my search for a reliable, trust worthy and honest person to
introduce this transfer project to. My name is John Harrison; I am the manager
of the International Commercial Bank Ghana, First Light Branch Accra. I am a Ghanaian
married with two kids, namely Kelvin junior and Maureen and l am residing at
plot 1740 Tema community one in the out sketch of Accra, our country capital city.
I am
writing to solicit your assistance in the noble transfer of US$15,000,000. This
fund is the excess of what my branch in which I am the manager made as profit
during the last year.
I have already submitted an approved End of the
last Year report for the year 2006 to my Head Office here in Accra and they will never
know of this Excess. I have since then, placed this amount of US$15,000,000
(fifteen Million United
States Dollars) on a SUSPENSE ACCOUNT without a
beneficiary.
As an officer of the bank, I cannot be directly connected
to this money thus I am compelled to request for your assistance to receive this
money into your bank account. I intend to part 30% of this fund to you while 70%
shall be for me. I do need to stress that there are practically no risk involved
in this.
It is going to be a bank-to-bank transfer to your nominated
bank account anywhere you feel safer. All I need from you is to stand as the
original depositor of this fund. If you accept this offer, I will appreciate
your timely response. All modalities in this business will work out as soon as I
receive your reply.
With regards
Mr. John
Harrison.
