Dear friend!
This email might come as a surprise to you because you haven’t given
me permission to do so and you don’t even know me, but before you talk
about me, I want you to forgive me for sending this email without your
permission. I am writing this letter with confidence, believing that
if it is God’s will for you to help me and my family, God Almighty
will bless and reward you abundantly. I need an honest and trustworthy
person like you to trust this great transfer project.
My name is Mr. Michael Williams, branch manager of a financial
institution. I got your contact through a trusted source called the
Ghana Chamber of Commerce Database. I am a married Ghanaian and I have
3 children. I am writing to request your assistance in transferring
$12,500,000.00 dollars. This fund is the excess profit of my agency
that I am the manager of last year (ie fiscal year 2020).
I have already sent an annual report for that year to my headquarters
in Accra-Ghana, as I noted with great interest, as they will never
know of this excess. Since then, I’ve placed this $12,500,000 amount
into an escrow-coded account without a (anonymous) beneficiary to
avoid traces.
As a bank employee, I cannot be directly connected to this money, so I
am obligated to ask for your help in receiving this money in your bank
account in my name. I agree that 45% of that money will be for you as
a foreign partner, provided you provide an account abroad, and 55%
would be for me. I need to emphasize that there is practically no risk
involved in this. It’s going to be a bank-to-bank transfer. All I need
from you is to be the original depositor of
this fund so that the fund can be transferred to your account.
If you accept this offer, I will appreciate your timely response to
me. Therefore, I contacted you, I am willing to make an investment in
partnership with you due to your vast experience. So if you are
interested in helping in this endeavor, please contact me for a brief
discussion. through this address {[email protected]}
Mr. Michael Williams,
The Regional Manager,
Thematic Branch, Accra – Ghana
