I am Mr K.C JAMES, the secretary to Alhaji. .Momodou HASSAN the Deputy Governor Operations Central Bank of GHANA (BOG). You are been officially contacted by me today because I was instructed to do so by my boss The Deputy Governor of The Central Bank of GHANA (BOG), kindly note that your Funds were Re-deposited into the "Federal Suspense Account" of the (BOG) last week, because you did not forward your Claim as the Right beneficiary. The Bank of GHANA is the parent Bank of all commercial Banks here in GHANA My boss The Deputy Governor Operations Central Bank of GHANA (BOG), was visited in his office by three gentlemen today, really these men were unexpected by him because their visit was impromptu. He had to ask them why they came to see him in person and they said that they came to collect the Inheritance/ contract funds which rightfully belongs to you, on your behalf. At this development He asked them who authorized them to come down to GHANA for the Collection of this Payment and they told him that you AUTHORIZED them to come and collect these Funds on your Behalf due to your inability to pay for the expenses for the release of your fund to you . In fact this was the biggest shock that this Bank has ever received so far because your Inheritance Funds is still in the "Federal Suspense Account" of (BOG), yet you sent these men to come and collect this Fund on your behalf >without notifying us. We do not understand why you should send these men to come and Collect your Funds on your behalf. If actually you want them to help you collect your funds, you should have at least informed him officially as the Executive Governor of this Bank. Note that they actually tendered some Vital Documents which proved that you actually sent them for the Collection of these Funds. Honestly, it really shocked him that you took such a decision without his consent. Below is list of the Documents which they tendered to this Bank today: 1. LETTER OF ADMINISTRATION. 2. HIGH COURT INJUCTION. 3. ORDER TO RELEASE. Actually, these Documents which they tendered to this Noble Bank are a clear Proof that you sent them to Collect this Funds for you. Finally,He, Alhaji. Momodou HASSAN told them to come back tomorrow morning and they promised to come back. As the Deputy Governor of this Noble Bank, he was supposed to Release this Funds to them but he refused to do so because he wanted to clarify this from you first. KINDLY DO GET ACK TO ME WITH YOUR TELEPHONE NUMBER SO I CAN REACH YOU AS FAST AS POSSIBLE OK. Due to the Nature of his job, he cannot afford to make any mistake in releasing these Funds to anyone except you who is the Recognized Bonafide Beneficiary to these Funds. Kindly clarify us on this issue before we make this Payment to these foreigners whom came on your behalf. Note that for security reasons you have been assigned a code/password which is {TT7270 BOG}, Please note that this code is the reference number for your transfer and its being disclosed to you alone, guard this jealously and all your email response should carry this code as the subject.
