Subject: Good day to you
Attention: Sir/Madam
My name is Dr. David Clark I am the Foreign Operations Manager of Commercial
Trust bank Accra Ghana.I don't know if i can confide in you regarding some
funds in my bank that was deposited by a refugee's father before he died.
The amount we are talking about here is 4.5 million dollars. The name of the
refugee is Scot Daniel. He has been in Ghana for some months now trying to
look for a foreign person that will stand for him as his late father foreign
business partner so that the funds can be released from this bank.I write to
you today to solicit on his behalf if you will be willing to stand for him
so that we can put all modalities in place for the release of the said funds
to you.
Due to the heavy restrictions and embargo placed on inter-regional
transfers, especially after the September 11 Bombing of the World Trade
Centre in the United States of America, because of that very sad incident
that is still very fresh in our minds, has frustrated all efforts set in
place by the bank to make any transfer outside Africa.
Right now,due to instructions given by Bank Of Ghana which is the apex bank
of Ghana, payment/release of these funds will be made through our swift card
payment center in UK .
This method of integrating the funds into a Master Gold Credit Card is the
most reliable and safest way to convey the funds to you without any hitches
or last minute problems associated with Inter-regional Transfers and
regulations.
All that is needed from you is to primarily acknowledge receipt of this
e-mail and your willingness to go ahead with the issuance of the Master Gold
Credit Card process.
Once we receive an e-mail from you stating your willingness to proceed with
the laid down process of procuring the Master Gold Credit Card, then we
shall send you a detailed communique and requirements for you to start the
process.
Please be advised that for the successful implementation of this transaction
a high level of confidentiality must be observed by you, because we
understand that this process is new to the World and would soon be utilised
by other major banks and financial institutions globally.
In addition to that, the Master Gold Credit Card would be fully loaded and
would be enabled to down load funds from the Credit Card itself into your
designated bank account. It can easily be done with the assistance of your
secured Pin-Codes that would accompany the Credit Card upon Delivery to your
designated mailing address.
Finally, I want to thank you for taking the time to read this e-mail and
pray that its contents are well understood and comprehended.
In the case that you have any objections, please respond soon for more
clarifications. I want to promise you that this year 2008 is a year of great
success.
Sincerely,
Dr. David Clark
