Executive Manager of Standard Chartered Bank (SCB) Since my assumption
of office , I have been able to offset most Overdue contract sums owed
by the Government of Ghana to Foreign contractors in the past years.
In the process of these payments, I discovered through investigation
that my predecessor moved out the above-mentioned sum outside but was
unable to conclude the transaction before he was removed out of office
unaware and the bank codes changed. The fund originated from the
balance of over-invoiced sum and inflated government contracts of
which the principal sum had been paid to foreign contractors that
executed their contract some years ago. This fund is now floating in a
suspense account of our bank and will be moved by telegraphic transfer
within 48 hours of perfection of your account coordinates. I have
concluded all necessary Arrangements for the TRANSFER of the money to
an account .Contacting you on this issue became imperative to owing to
the fact that the transfer cannot be affected without a second party
account and receiving Bank Code and SWIFT numbers. Therefore, what is
required from you is trust and honesty. No further documentation, no
travel is required, I will forward an account where my share will be
further transferred to when the money reaches your bank. At the moment
i can only give information that are reasonably able to assist the
transaction without jeopardize my person, work or this transaction.
