Responding to your mail, I want to assure you that this project will be a very simple and quick transaction an there will be no risk and trace involved. I expect you to keep and treat this project confidential like I mentioned earlier because my bank must not know that I am directly involved in this transaction. Also i have been waiting for your mail for sometime now, however i am very happy to hear from you.

My contacting you is based on the fact that I cannot transfer the fund to any account linked to me here in Ghana and I must ensure that there cannot be trace because of my position in the bank. I need a foreigner I can trust and whose bank account is capable of receiving the fund. I want to assure that I am very honest and peaceful and I hope you are my kind of person too. I want you to declare your interest fully because you have to convince me that you are not intending to deceive me. So, I want us to work with trust. The transaction is urgent and I expect you to know that once I receive your profile, I will have to backdate the deposit in your name and effect the transfer of the fund to your account. I shall keep you informed in details all you need to know so that you can confirm the receipt of the fund after the transfer. I want to assure you that this project is totally risk-free as long as you follow my directives and procedures promptly once we proceed.

I expect maximum co-operation from you as I await your next mail. The information I expect to receive from you include:

1. your name (in full),

3. your occupation,
4. residential and office addresses,
5. telephone and/or mobile numbers,

All the above information of yours will be programmed in our bank's systems database officially as a foreign investor operating with the bank. It is my duty to ensure that you are guided in every aspect of the whole transaction which will last only 2 or 3 working days.

Immediately I receive the above details, I shall commence the process without delay. I also hope to see you in person before or after this transaction. Also, you are invited and welcome to Ghana if you wish to see me in person.

Hi Dear, I am writing in response to you email to me, Let me start by making it clear to you that I can not program your data as the receiver of the amount without proper identification secondly I sent you my identities because I want you to be confident dealing with me and I expect you to send across your own identity as it is very important that we build trust before the money will be transferred out of Ghana I want you to send by email attachment any valid identity of yours you can send copy of your international passport or driver license it will help and for proper documentation and identification.

This project is simple if you comply to my instructions because all I need to do upon reaching on an agreement with you is to encode your information into the swift data base system as the beneficiary and receiver of the fund in question then redirect the transfer by the appropriate department here in my bank.

This deal poses no threat against your legal rights and your expected percentage from the total amount is 40% you have to let me know if you are capable to handle this transaction, upon your response to this email, I will give further insight and directives.

I am also expecting scan copies of personal identity proof to me in your next email, Call me immediately after reading this email I will await to receive your call.

I make a phone call to him but don't have any way of recording it. It really did sound like I woke him up, it took him 10 seconds to realise who was calling. I didn't say much and he just talked about secrecy and confidentiality of the transaction.

Subject: ACT FAST

Dear Harry Butkrak ,

I have just received your email and I have read the document from the West African Monetary Agency ( WAMA), This is a very serious issue and I want you to know that you are the only person in position to handle this situation at this moment. I have immediately contacted the auditors in the remittance unit to confirm this information and they have made it clear to me that this is a serious and very urgent issue and the client involve should comply with (West African Monetary Agency (WAMA) immediately .

I have gone through the Stop Order forwarded from the West African Monetary Agency ( WAMA) fund Monitoring Agency, and actually, the news is upsetting. First, I have to apologize for what ever inconveniences that this will cost you. I have read this note carefully and I understood that we really need to provide the demanded documents or pay the charges for procurement..

As at this very moment, I am not in a good mood since after I read the notice I don't even know how to respond to you to explain the development. I think my bank management is interested in knowing more about the origin of this funds. I have been in this close door meeting since 8:00am Ghana local time and the auditors from my head office has just arrived and they have sent there response to West African Monetary Agency ( WAMA) informing them that they are investigating the funds and there customer will get back to them soon. This development also affected more than five current transfers of our customers above I Million US Dollar from ICB Ghana. This has led to a situation where they have also ordered the bank Transfer Unit to stop every oncoming transaction outside Ghana until all investigations of all current transfers from the bank is concluded. This has also led to inspection of this very fund and they receiving account on your name over there in Pakistan so you must be very careful and vigilant from this moment.

Now that it is clear that we do not have the documents, all I can assure you is that I have done a proper documentation here in my bank. Therefore, you have no problem with the bank. My duty here is to protect your own interest and I am 100% sure that i have done a perfect job here. You have to understand that this Order is from a West African Monetary Agency ( WAMA) and I am very worried at this moment because I do not wish to involve myself in any form of problem with this Agency due my position as the bank staff, They are working hand in hand with the United Nations Fund Monitoring Agency.

You must be careful at this time, I am advising you to try your possible best to comply with the requirements of the Agency. As an alternative for procuring the documents you have to arrange for the sum of /USD/$3,579 , I want you to try your best to make this money available from your country even if it mean to take a loan with any interest from any source since the transfer is at the verge of completion. This is because my involvement at this point will raise suspect on me. You can contact the bank at once for advice on how you can make the payment because the bank is in a better position to handle the matter perfectly with the Agency. I am assuring you that as soon as this is accomplished, the suspension of the transferred will be lifted and you have the fund in your account without further delay.

You must have in mind that this is a deal between only the both of us you must not let them investigate the origin of the funds for security reasons. I will advise you to contact the agency and tell them you will need to get back to them and request them to provide you with the information where you will have to transfer the amount .

Do whatever you can do to solve this problem urgently as I am scared because I don't want the government to look into the origin of the fund this will also affect your personality in Pakistan. Please be careful at this time for security reasons try you best to comply urgently.

Try and get back to me urgently.

Regards,
Joseph Kwesi Mensah

Hello Harry,

I received your email and the content was well noted, without any further delay i wish to look into your questions you must understand that your personal data has been replaced before redirecting the transfer to your own bank account and you now stand as the beneficiary of the fund I must let you know that all documentation was made on your name before proceeding with the transfer process.

Today was public holiday here in Ghana and tomorrow a working day you must not let the bank notice that I arranged for this transaction they must not find out that I am directly involved in this transaction I have explain this to you before now and I am surprise that you are sounding as if I have never told you before try, I advice you to contact the agency to demand for the procurement of the documents I think the document will only come from the agency here in west Africa is the anti money laundry certificate and you can only procure the document from the (WAMA) office.

I am so sorry for writing Pakistan in my last email it was just a mistake and I hope you accept my apology for that verry mistake.

Regards Joseph
