Ghana, the new Kenya of scams...

Dear Friend,

Greeting to you,Please kindly permit me to introduce myself for this business opportunity with you.This mail may be a surprise to you because you did not give me the permission to do so and neither do you know me but before I tell you about myself I want you to please forgive me for sending this mail without your permission. I am writing this letter in confidence believing that if it is the will of God for you to help me and my family, God almighty will bless and reward you abundantly. I need an honest and trust worthy person like you to entrust this huge transfer project unto.

My name is Mr.Robert Tete Okutu, The Branch Manager of a Financial Institution. I got your contact through a reliable source called database through Ghana chambers of commerce. I am a Ghanaian married with 3 kids. I am writing to solicit your assistance in the transfer of US$9,700,000.00 Dollars. This fund is the excess of what my branch in which I am the manager made as profit last year (i.e. 2009 financial year). I have already submitted an annual report for that year to my head office in Accra-Ghana as I have watched with keen interest as they will never know of this excess. I have since, placed this amount of US$9,700,000.00 Dollars on an Escrow Coded account without a beneficiary (Anonymous) to avoid trace.

As an officer of the bank, I cannot be directly connected to this money thus I am impelled to request for your assistance to receive this money into your bank account on my behalf. I agree that 45% of this money will be for you as a foreign partner, in respect to the provision of a foreign account, and 55% would be for me. I do need to stress that there are practically no risk involved in this. It's going to be a bank-to-bank transfer.   

All I need from you is to stand as the Original next of kin to the depositor/Owner of this fund so that the fund can be transferred to your account. All confirmable documents to back up the claims will be made available to you prior to your acceptance. Meanwhile, I have worked out the strategies and technicalities whereby the funds can be Transfer to you without any hitches.

If you accept this offer, I will appreciate your timely response to me. This is why and only reason why I contacted you, I am willing to go into partnership investment with you owing to your wealth of experience, So please if you are interested to assist on this venture kindly contact me back for a brief discussion on how to proceed so that my bank head office will transfer the Fund into your Nominated Bank account which you provide.

Wait to hear from you.

Best regards,

Mr. Robert Tete Okutu
