Fund Transfer Scam From Patrick Brown of Accra Ghana

Subject: Hello
email address: affre-michel@wanadoo.fr

- email content -

Hello,

My name is Mr.Patrick Brown, manager of a financial institution here in Accra - Ghana .I am writing to solicit your assistance in the transfer of $7,550.000
U.S Dollars. I am 42 years old and married with 2 kids.

This fund is the excess of what my branch in which I am the manager made as profit during the 2006 financial year. I have already submitted annual report for that year to my head office here in Accra and have watched with keen interest as they will never know of this excess.

I have since, placed this amount of $7,550.000 U.S Dollars on an Escrow Coded account without a beneficiary (anonymous) to avoid trace. 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 on my behalf for both of us to share 30% for you and 70% for me.

I do need to stress that there are practically no risk involved in this. It's going to be a bank-to-bank transfer. All I need from you is to stand as the original depositor of this fund so that the fund can be transferred to your account. If you accept this offer, I will appreciate a return email.

Regards,

Mr.Patrick Brown
