Hello

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 2years by my branch office of the
International Commercial Bank of Ghana which I am the
manager.

I have already submitted an approved end-of-the-year
report
for the year 2007 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 me immediately

With Regards,
George Nduka

Sounds perfectly reasonable to me, but what do you think?

Is there anyone in the world stupid enough to fall for these things?

Thanks for posting your junk email.

I'm having cereal for breakfast, then moving the car to a better parking spot.

I'd think in the same lines "is anyone stupid enough to fall for that", but a colleague of mine got scammed in buying a second hand iPhone (yes, they do know their audience) online, sending them some kind of "bank cheque" for some bloke in africa.

Needles to say he never got the iPhone.

Seems legit to me.

I just facilitated something similar and made myself a nice little profit.
