Subject: Highly Confidential Information
Good day to you.
My name is Mr. Cudjoe Akpadie, a political activist and an attorney. I am a member of my party's National Executive Council (NEC).
I got your email information from one of my good friends who work with Ghana 's Chamber of Commerce and industry on foreign business relations here in Accra-Ghana, though I did not disclose the deal to him. When he gave me your email address, I did not ask him his source because, I trust his judgment, having known him for a very long time. So my thinking is that if my friend can give me your email address contact when he knows that I am looking for a trustworthy foreigner, then you must be trustworthy and honest.
My aim of contacting you is to crave your indulgence to assist us in securing some funds, abroad for safe keeping which incidentally was sourced to help us finance the forth coming elections in 2008. Fortunately with my assistance, that of other party faithfuls and the contact we still have in the bank despite our being out of government for almost Eight Years, we were able to push the fund out of Ghana to a prime bank in New York, pending when we shall submit the appropriate account for the funds final destination. The need to contact you arose from the fact that the present government is cracking down on the opposition and trying to trace and investigate all the funds that belong to it, if they succeed in tracing this fund to us, they will seize it and thereby incapacitating our campaign abilities. We wish to relocate this fund in a foreigner's name to avoid any trace. All I need from you is an assurance that you can handle the amount involved (US$3,000,000) comfortably and that I can also trust you with this arrangement.
Be rest assured that there is no risk involved since we have taken care of the logistics. I want you to immediately inform me of your willingness in assisting and co-operating with us, so that I can send you full details of this transaction. I am able to give you my name without fear because I got your email address contact from a very reliable and dependable friend whose judgment I trust completely, so it would be appreciated if you can maintain the confidential nature of this letter and the whole transaction.
Please if you are not interested in this business, let me know in time, so that I can contact someone else.
Yours sincerely,
Mr. Cudjoe Akpadie
