Hi:
I got your contact during my search for a reliable,honest and a
trust worth person to entrust this huge transfer project with.
My name is Mr.Duncan willia. I am a Ghanaian married with two kids.
I am writing to solicit your assistance in the transfer of my
fund USD$7,550,000 .00 Million United States Dollars.
This fund is the excess of what my branch in which I am the manager
made as profit during the 2004 financial year. 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 USD$7,550,000 .00 Million United States
Dollars 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 impelled to request for your assistance to receive this money into your
bank account on my behalf.
Â
I intend to offer 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'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 please get back to me.
Regards
D.willia
