Subject: Best regards
institution. I am writing to solicit your assistance in transferring
$14,500,000.00. This fund is the surplus from what my branch in which
I am working as a manager made as profits last year (ie 2021 fiscal
year). I have already submitted an annual report on the last 24th of
December to my head office in Accra Ghana as I have been watching it
with keen interest because they will never know this overflow in the
fund. I have since placed this $14,500,000.00 on an Escrow Coded
account with no (anonymous) beneficiary to avoid tracking.
As a bank official, I cannot be in direct contact with these funds and
therefore I am obliged to request your assistance to receive these
funds into your bank account on my behalf. I agree that 40% of this
money will be yours as a foreign partner, in connection with the
provision of a foreign account, and 60% will be mine and you will keep
it for me until I join you to participate and invest later in the
scheme in your country. I need to stress that there is practically no
risk in this.
Thanks
John Thomas
