I have an investment opportunity for you. Send me some of your money just for the fun of it, and I will buy myself a nice sportscar and you can say you have made a bad investment with me. Or I have a better idea, fly over here and try and peddle your scheeme to me and I will arrest you for Advance Fee Fraud you scumbag. I am a Federal Agent you idiot. That is what the "SA" stands for in samatthewclark@yahoo.com stands for. So I suggest you look into another line of work before you get locked up. People like you should be shot in front a firing squad for taking peoples money. Good thing you did not show up at my door. I would have loved to arrest you for being the criminal that you are. You are probably too chicken to come to the states though.....enjoy the heat and malaria in Ghana. One more thing.....don't ever use the title "Christian" while you are trying to rip people off. God has a way of remebering things like that.

Greetings,
My name is Isaac Kwesi am the regional manager of Barclays Allied bank of Ghana. I got your information on my recent search for an overseas partner among other names. I write you this proposal in good faith; I am 44 years old married with two lovely kids. I am a devoted Christian and a man of peace.
I have packaged a financial transaction that will benefit you and I, as the regional manager of the Barclay's Allied bank it is my duty to send in a financial report to my head office in the capital city Accra at the end of each business year. On the course of the last year 2008 business report, I discovered that my branch in which I am the manager made six million and fifty thousand united state dollars (US$6,050,000.00 USD) which my head office are not aware of and will never be aware of. I have placed this funds on what we call escrow call account with no beneficiary. As an officer of this bank I cannot be directly connected to this money, so my aim of contacting you is to assist me receive this money in your bank account and get 40% of the total funds as commission.
There are practically no risks involved, it will be a bank-to-bank transfer, and all I need from you is to stand claim as the original depositor of these funds who made the deposit with my branch so that my head office can order the transfer to your designated bank
Account.
If you accept to work with me I will appreciate it very much. Email me back so that we can go over the details.
Thank you in advance and May God bless you and your family.
Am happy for your swift response.
Mr. Isaac Kwesi.
