YOUR PAYMENT CONFIRMATION ( VERY URGENT)
- Attn: My Good Friend, I am Hon. Akwasi Osei Adjei, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ghana. After the Death of our Country's Finance Minister Mr. Kwadwo Baah Wiredu, i was appointed to monitors and controls the affairs of all banks and financial institutions in Ghana concerned with foreign contract payments. I am the final signatory to any transfer or remittance of huge funds moving within banks both on the local and international levels in line to foreign contracts settlement. I have before me list of funds, which could not be transferred to some nominated accounts as these accounts have been identified either as ghost accounts, unclaimed deposits and over-invoiced sum etc. As it is my duty to recommend the transfer of these surplus funds to the Federal Government Treasury and Reserve Accounts as unclaimed deposits, I have the opportunity to write you based on the instructions I received two days ago from the Parliamentary Committee on Contract Payments / Foreign Debts to submit the List of payment reports/ expenditures and audited reports of revenues after the sudden death of our country's Finance Minister Mr. Kwado Baah Wiredu at a hospital in South Africa. I have decided to remit a contract sum into your account following my idea that we have a deal /agreement and I am going to do this legally. MY CONDITIONS 1. The sum of USD$9.9Million only will be transferred into your nominated account by telegraphic Transfer (T/T), confirmable in 7 working days after you have confirmed the transfer of the funds into your account,35% out of the whole sum will be for you, 10% for any expenses that may accrue during the transaction while 55% will be for me. 2. This deal must be kept secret forever, and all correspondence will be strictly by email / telephone, for security purposes. 3. There should be no third parties as most problems associated with your fund release are caused by your agents or representative.If you AGREE with my conditions, l advise you on what to do immediately and the transfer will commence without delay as I will proceed to fix your name on the Payment schedule instantly to meet the seven working days mandate. I hope you don't reject this offer and have your funds transferred. Waiting for your reply soonest response. Be in peace. From Honorable Akwasi Osei-Adjei Minister of Foreign Affair Ghana Please contact me on my private e-mail box at aaoadjeei@hotmail.com Note: you can read about the sudden death of the finance minister at www.ghanafinanceminister.com
