Hi,

Pardon me for not having the pleasure of knowing your mindset before making you this offer and it is utterly confidential and genuine by virtue of its nature.I write to solicit your assistance in a funds transfer deal involving US$ 3.5M.This fund has been stashed out of the excess profit made last year by my branch office the International Commercial Bank which I am the manager.

I have already submitted an approved end of the year report for the year 2005 to my head office here in Accra-Ghana and they will never know of this excess. I have since then, placed this amount on a Non-Investment Account without a beneficiary.

Upon your response, I will configure your name on our database as holder of the Non-Investment Account. I will then guide you on how to apply to my head office for the Account Closure/ bank-to-bank remittance of the funds to your designated bank account.

If you concur with this proposal, I intend for you to retain 30% of the funds while 70% shall be for me.

Kindly forward your response to: akatony101@verizon.net
Mobile: +233-24-468-5072
With Regards,
Anthony Aka

Tony,

As the Manager, you probably already know I have significant funds in the International Commercial Bank. And I have to say, that as a customer, I am worried that you are just now approving the end of year report for 2005. That’s three years ago!

I also don’t know what it means for a business to have “excess” profit? And why wouldn’t you put the money in an Investment Account? You’re a bank! If you’re not willing to invest your excess profits in yourself, why should anyone else?

I am glad you wrote to me though, as I was charged an extra ATM fee on last month’s statement. If you can please send me a check for the $2.50 ATM fee, I will be happy to assist you with your $3.5M transfer.

I promise to keep my mindset utterly confidential.

By virtue of my nature,
