From the Desk Of:

Mr. John Owusu

Director National Investment

Bank of Ghana

- I am the EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR and Head of Swift Transfer Unit of National Investment BankofGhana,Accra.Sometime ago,your inheritance fund was brought to our bank from the Bank of Ghana,after some period, the money was taken back to theGovernment Treasury.For the period of time this money was in our bank,it generated an interest of US$1.5 Million, which we are about to be pay to you via International Electronic Bank Draft.For your information and advice,you need to hasten up to pick this Fund because from time to time the Bank of Ghana auditors do come to our bank to cross-check our files and our financial update, the earlier you comply with the demands of the delivery of the fund,the faster the action, because the Apex bank officers wants the accrued interest to be paid to them but we refused,so when they find out that this interest fund is still in our bank they will want to call back the money to the Government treasury.What we need from you now is any of your identification for example; your international passport or drivers license, telephone and fax number for easycommunication.As a matter of fact we don¹t have enough time to waste since we have wasted time in contacting our respective customers, so try and comply with the entire necessary requirement for remittance.Regards,Price Owusu

As you can see, the letter has grave dangers hidden within its context. They need your identificaton “for example.” That should be a sign that this is pure fraud. Run, run, run as far away from these types of scams and make sure to let others know about the dangers hidden behind each word.
