Subject: REPLY HIGHLY CONFIDENTAL INFORMATION
*Hello My Dear Friend.*
**
*I presumed that all is well with you and your family. I know that this will
come to you as a surprise proposal but I got your contact through a reliable
source from the database in Ghana chambers of commerce, Few weeks ago,
before I decided to contact you on this lucrative offer for our future
survival in life, I checked with the Chambers and got your contact. *
**
*With due respect, trust, and humanity, I am writing this letter in
confidence believing that if it is the wish of God for us to work together
as one big family and also a business partners, God almighty will bless and
reward you abundantly. I need an honest and a trust worthy person like you
to transact this huge transfer project with. My name is Mr. Matthew Delata,
manager of a financial institution. But I believe it is only a day that
people meet and become great friends/ business partners.*
**
*I am a Ghanaian married with kids. I am writing to solicit your assistance
in the transfer of $19,300.000.00 U.S Dollars. This fund came from the
interest of the fund that was lent to some customers, in my branch where I
am the manager and we made about 100% profit during the 2006 financial year.
the loan we gave to some government parasatals and only 50% was declared
because the bank did not even expect about 30% of profit but we got 50%, and
you can agree with me that we have given even more than expected, that is
the main reason why I had to package this transaction.*
**
*Because the way this transaction is, it can not cause problem even in 100
years to come because my bank do not know about it, it is 100% risk free.*
**
*I have already submitted annual report for that year to my head office here
in Accra as I have watched with keen interest as they will never know of
this excess. I have since, placed this amount of NINETEEN MILLION, THREE
HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED STATES DOLLARS ($19,300,000.00) on an Escrow Coded
account without a beneficiary (Anonymous) to avoid trace. As an officer of
the bank, I cannot be directly connected to this money thus I am constrained
to request for your assistance to receive this fund into your bank account
on my behalf. *
**
*I agree that 40% of this money will be for you as a foreign partner, in
respect to the provision of a foreign account, and 60% would be for me. I do
need to stress that there are practically no risk involved in this. It's
going to be a bank-to-bank transfer. All I need from you is to stand as the
original depositor of this fund so that the fund can be transferred to your
account. If you accept this offer, I will appreciate your timely response to
me. *
**
*This is why and only reason why I contacted you, I am willing to invest the
fund in line with your directives, So please if you are interested to assist
on this venture kindly contact me back for a brief discussion on how to
proceed. *
**
*My best regards,*
*Matthew Delata *
