My name is Mr. Edward Lamptey 57 years of age I am compelled to contact you as result of a lifetime business relationship I wished to establish with you honorable self. I am a God fearing gentleman of the confidence that God will certainly create an enabling environment in our midst through which his name will be glorified.
I am the Eastern regional Auditor General of the Ghana commercial Bank Ltd Of Ghana . I am a Christian. I write you this letter in good faith believing both of us will work with one accord for the realization of this project.. I am in control of the sum of Twelve million, Eight Hundred and Fifty Thousand US Dollars ($12,850,000.00) that was an excess of profit made by our Eastern region branch office in the last quarters of the year 2007.
Due to the present political position of this country, I have carefully placed the afore said fund in an Escrow Call Deposit Account and did not declare this to my head office, Can I really trust you to hold this money for me until I arrive your country and pick it up myself? This is where the problem lies. You will be entitled to 10% of the total money as your commission if you will be human enough to work with me.. If you accept my offer you can contact me immediately via my personal l email address. edwardlamptey_gcbl@yahoo.co.uk
All I need is your formidable current account where the money will be moved accordingly. I will discretely give you all the information concerning the account and the deposit so that you can apply to my headquarters directly for the re-location of the money. There is practically no risk involved it will be a bank-to-bank transfer. I hope you understand my situation.
Thank you and God bless. Very truly yours, Mr. Edward Lamptey
Since you’re here …
we have a small favour to ask. More people are visting Scamdex and Scamalot than ever but advertising revenues are falling fast and we have no 'product' to sell.
And unlike many informational websites, we haven’t put up a paywall or membership barrier – we want to keep our site as open as we can.
So you can see why we need to ask for your help. Scamdex/Scamalot websites takes a lot of time, money and hard work to keep running. We do this because we
hate to see our fellow humans getting scammed out of their hard-earned money by low-lives.
