... maybe... I wonder if I should give him my bank details.....[lol]


"My Good friend,

Greetings to you



Before I introduce myself, I wish to inform you that this mail is not a hoax mail and I urge you to treat it with seriousness. This letter must come to you as a big surprise, but I believe it is only a day that people meet and become great friends and business partners. My name is Mr. George Amasama.



The present branch Manager Of a bank here in Ghana. I write you this proposal in good faith, believing that I can trust you with the information I am about to reveal to you. Like I said, I have a transaction that will benefit both of us, as your assistance is required as a foreigner. I use to work as head of the Accounts department in my bank head office, but last December I was asked to take position of a Manager at one of our branches to replace the former who passed on, so that was how I became the present Manager and discovered a Fortune.



As I resumed duty, during my routine check and taking over, I discovered an account with a substantial sum of money in United States dollars that has been floating and unaccounted for the past 4 years. From my investigation, I discovered that the branch in which I am the manager, made excess profit from an accrued interest on money deposited by the Economic community of West African states contract payment committee, and the money has been floating. In fact, I have PLACED this fund in an ESCROW CALL ACCOUNT without a legitimate beneficiary and which will change to your name as soon as you identify your interest in writing. The escrow call account is a secret type of account in my bank and no other person knows about this account or any thing concerning it, the account has no other beneficiary. I have kept a close monitoring of the account since then. As the branch manager of the bank, I cannot directly take out this money without the help of a foreigner and that is why I am contacting you for assistance.



I have the power to influence the release of the funds to any foreigner that comes up as the depositor of the money, with the correct information concerning the account, which I shall give you. Your responsibility will be to assist me move the fund to your country. It is going to be a Bank-to-Bank transfer and I need to assure you that there are no risks involved in this Business. The transaction will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of law. If you accept to work with me, I want you to state how you wish us to share the funds in percentage, so that both parties will be satisfied. Contact me as soon as you receive this message if you feel we can work together, so we can go over the details. Thanking you in advance and May God bless you. Please, treat with utmost confidentiality.


Best regards,

Mr. George Amasama."

This man has a definite way with words...

Wow! John he must have really done his homework to pick a man of your integrity out of all the people in the UK he could have turned to. I must admit I am glad it is not me that has had this tremendous responsibility thrust upon them.

I am sure you will do the right thing.

Ah now - that raises a serious point of morality. If someone places a confidentiality on me ( as often happens in official letters) and my agreement is not sought prior to it - am I bound to be confidential. It's been my view that if I have not agreed then I am not bound by it....

That might be worth another thread...

You think I've spoiled my chances of getting the cash then? :)

All joking and jest apart, we find it amusing that someone in Africa can put this sort of mail shot together and expect us to believe and reply with the requested details, but they obviously play the numbers game and get some results. :eek:

A while ago there was a programme on the telly about this subject and it’s incredible that some people’s greed default button is so easily triggered by this kind of mail shot and I guess for every one person that owns up to being shafted, there would be ten more that would be too ashamed to admit that they fell for it. :(
