Subject: From Mr. Daniel" REPLY BACK
Compliment,
My name is Mr. Daniel Abak, a politician and an immediate past member of
Ghana Parliamentary (MP).I am a member of my partyâs executive committee
on contract awards.
My aim of contacting you is to crave your indulgence to assist me in
securing some funds abroad for safe keeping which incidentally was kept to
help me finance the just concluded elections campaign last December 7th
2008, which the winner was finally decided through a runoff election held
on 28th December 2008. Unfortunately for my party the National Patriotic
Party (NPP) lost the government seat to our opposition Party the National
Democratic Congress (NDC).
But with my immediate assistance, and contact, I was able to deposit some
money in a security vault with a commercial bank in Ghana pending when I
will found a trustworthy person to move out the fund from Ghana to overseas
bank account for business investment.
The need to contact you arose from the fact that the present elected
government vow to crack down on past immediate government functionaries of
(NPP) and trying to trace all the funds that was made through contract
awards and other mouth watering deals during our tenure in the office from
the year 2000 to 2008, if they succeed in tracing this fund to us, they
will seize it and thereby incapacitating my life time opportunities.
I wish to relocate this fund in a foreigner's name to avoid any trace. All
I need from you is an assurance that you can handle the amount involved
(US$19,500,000) comfortably and that I can also trust you.
Be fully rest assured that there is no risk involved since I have taken
care of every underground work relating to the perfection of this
opportunity. I want you to immediately inform me of your willingness in
assisting and co-operating with me, so that I can send you full details of
this transaction. I will also appreciate if you can maintain the
confidential nature of this letter and the whole transaction process.
Please if you are not interested in this business, let me know in time, so
that I can contact someone else.
Yours sincerely,
Mr. Daniel Abak
