ATTN: SIR / MADAM,
RE: SWIFT TRANSFER OF US$4.5M INTEREST INTO YOUR ACCOUNT.
I am Rev. Kwabena Dakor the Director of Treasury Department of Bank of Ghana One Thorpe Road Accra - Ghana. Sometime ago, your Inheritance Contract Fund was brought to our bank from Economic Community of West African Foreign Contractor Payment Panel. After some period, they recalled the fund back to their treasury.
For the period of time this fund has been in our bank, it has generated an interest of US$4.5M, which we consider must be paid to you since you are one of the contractors that have not received his/her payment. As a matter of fact we the management of this bank has resolved and decided to pay the interest of the fund via Swift Transfer into your account.
What we need from you now is any form of identification your international passport number or your driving license number, then your telephone and fax number for easy communication.
The Bank of Ghana therefore apologize for any form of delay and inconvenience. We are poised to serve you better.
ar from you.
