From;The manager,
Ghana Commercial Bank,
NewTown Branch,Accra
Hello Sir,
I got your contact during my search for a reliable trust worthy and
honest person to introduce this transfer project with.
My name is Mr Jonathan Essien.I am a Ghanaian married with two kids. I
am writing to solicit your assistance in the noble transfer of
US$3.500.000.00. This fund is the excess of what my branch in which I
am the manager made as profit during last year in my Head Office here
in Accra and they will never know of this Excess. I have since
then, placed this amount of US$3.500.000.00 (Three Million Five hundred
Thousand United States Dollars) on a SUSPENSE ACCOUNT without a
beneficiary.
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, I intend to
part 30% of this fund to you while 70% shall be for me, I do need to
stress that there are practically no risk involved in this, It is going
to be a bank-to-bank transfer to your nominated bank account anywhere
you feel it safer, all I need from you is to stand as the original
depositor of this fund, if you accept this offer,
I will appreciate your timely response.
Best regards,
Mr Jonathan Essien

It's important to note that
any real people and / or legitimate
organizations whose actual names or other details appear in
these scam e-mails have absolutely no
connection
with this scam!
Scammers never use their real
names.
They frequently take on the identity of real people to help make themselves and their scam appear legitimate.

This is just a small sampling of the
many hundreds of advance fee fraud e-mails received each day here at
419BAITER
headquarters. It is 100% pure B.S. Purity Guaranteed!
There are many different types of 419 scam (examples)
but they all promise you something (fortune, job with salary /
commision,
low-interest loan, lottery prize,
bargain gold dust / diamonds,
work visa, etc.) in return
for a small 'fee' or some kind of remittance. Of course, there is no
fortune, no job, no loan, no prize to be had. It's just a ploy to get
you to
willingly send them money.

section.
NOTE TO
DUMBASS SPAMMERS:
My scam e-mail filtering system is pretty good
but it isn't perfect.
Occasionally a regular spam e-mail will get mistakenly published here
as
a
419 scam. This is inadvertent. If you are a spammer and you don't wish
to have your crap mistakenly published on this website as a
419
advance fee
scam, the solution is
simple. Don't mail your crap to harvested e-mail
addresses.
