Subject: I NEED YOUR ASSISTANCE PLS
Dear Friend,
My name is MR,MICHAEL KOFI I got information about you through the
Ghananian Chamber of Commerce and after going through your company profile
amongst many others, i am determined to seek your assistance in a transaction
that involves the transfer of funds from International Commercial Bank where i
work as a data analyst.
The amount available is USD5, 500, 000.00 (FIVE MILLION, FIVE HUNDRED
THOUSAND UNITED STATES DOLLARS ONLY). I discovered this amount as an excess
balance after the last auditing of our bank records and as the banks head data
analyst, i have secured this money without the knowledge of anybody, in our
bank's pool account.
All i will need from you, is to assure me of your readiness to stand-in
as the legitimate owner of this fund and i will raise necessary documents in
favour of that and effect actual release and trasfer of this amount to your
bank account. This matter requires utmostr trust, confidentiality and honesty
and between me and you (now), no other person knows about this money.
If you are sure you can be reliable for me to transfer this amount to
your account and you will help me to invest my own part over there in your
country, since i cannot bring it back into my country because of my position
here (we are not allowed to operate foreign bank accounts), i will give you
40% of this money as your share for participating in this mutual
venture.
Get back to me with some assurances and i will give you more details
about the transaction. Be sure that the transaction is very very safe, secure
and risk-free but you must keep it very confidential and noty share with a
third party, for my protection.
I look forward to your kind answer. MR,MICHAEL KOFI
