Subject: I NEED YOUR SOONEST RESPONSE
From: Mr.Lamptey Kwame
The Manager International
Commercial Bank Ghana,
First Light Branch
Accra, Ghana.
Dear
I got your contact during my search for a reliable, honest and a trust
worthy person to entrust this huge transfer project with. My name is Lamptey
Kwame. I am the manager of the international commercial bank Ghana, first
light branch. I am a Ghanaian married with two kids.
I write to solicit your assistance in a funds transfer deal involving US$
5.3million.This fund was stashed out of the excess profit made last year by
my branch office of the International Commercial Bank of Ghana, which I am
the manager. I have already submitted an approved end-of-the-year report for
the year 2007 to my head office here in Accra-Ghana and they will never know
of this excess. I have also since then, placed this funds on a
Non-Investment Account without a beneficiary.
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. I will guide you on how to apply to my head office for the
Account Closure/bank-to-bank remittance of this funds to your designated
bank account. If you concur with this proposal, I intend for you to retain
30% of the funds while 70% shall be for me.
Your earliest response would be appreciated on the regards.
Sincerely,
Mr.Lamptey Kwame
