Subject: Greetings To You Dear Friend
From: Mr. Richard Ofori.
Standard Chartered Bank of Ghana,
Cape Coast Branch.
E-mail:richardpinfo@gmail.com
My Dear Friend,
My name is Mr. Richard Ofori. I work with the Standard Chartered Bank of Ghana as the Regional manager, Cape Coast Branch, in the Central Region of Ghana.
I am 44 years old with three lovely kids, two boys and a girl. I have packaged a transaction that will be of mutual benefit to us. As the branch manager of Standard Chartered Bank of Ghana, it is my duty to send a financial report to my head office in the capital city, Accra, at the end of each financial year.
Following the release of the second quarter financial report, December 2007, I discovered that my branch made Seven Million, Six Hundred and Twenty Thousand United States Dollars ($7,620,000.00). from the transactions accruing to the account of the Inland Revenue Service (IRS). This was not detected by the renowned auditors from my head office. I have moved the funds into what the bank call Escrow Call Account with no beneficiary.
Meanwhile as you know I can not be directly connected to this money for obvious reasons. So my contacting you is to assist me receive the funds in your bank account in your country, which I know is possible if you liaise properly with me and get 45% of the total funds as your benefit. The transfer would be made via swift and it will be a Bank-to-Bank wired transfer. All I need from you is to stand claim as the original depositor of this fund.
I will computer your particulars as the person who made the deposit in my branch, so that my head office will immediately order the transfer to your designated bank Account.
E-mail me if you think we can work together.
Thanks for your understanding and co-operation.
Yours truly,
Mr.Richard Ofori.
Branch manager (S C B).
