Attn: Sir/ Madam (Beneficiary)
RE: SWIFT TRANSFER OF US$850,000.00 (EIGHT HUNDRED AND FIFTY THOUSAND UNITED
STATES DOLLARS) ONLY INTEREST INTO YOUR ACCOUNT.
I am the Chairman Policy Harmonization Committee, Accra, Ghana. Sometime ago,
your contract money was deposited in a local bank by the Bank of Ghana and after
some period, they recalled the fund back to their treasury.
For the period of time this fund stayed in the local bank, it generated an
interest of US$850,000.00 only which we consider must be paid to you since you
are one of the contractors/beneficiaries that have not received his/her payment.
As a matter of fact we the management of this Committee has resolved and decided
to pay the interest of the fund via Swift Transfer into your account.
What we need from you now is any form of identification like your international
passport number or your driving license number, then your telephone and fax
number for easy communication.
In view of this you are hereby instructed to contact this office immediately
you receive this message and reconfirm the above stated details. The Policy
Harmonization Committee therefore apologize for any form of delay and
inconvenience. We are poised to serve you better and on a last note, we want you
to keep this correspondence secret because all the officials that are involved
in your principal amount doesn't know about the existence of this fund.
We are waiting to hear from you
Best regards,
Dr. Gregory David.
Chairman, Policy Harmonization Committee.
Accra, Ghana
