It's been ages since I've received one of these, and I haven't had the opportunity to work with Phillip Morris before!
My Dear Friend, be my expected future partner,
My name is Mr.Phillip Morris. I am a banker here in Ghana. I got your contact from the online data base. I need your help to transfer the sum of US$12,500,000.00 into your account as my foreign investment partner. The money is part of the profits made by our bank last year (i.e. 2013) in the branch where I am the manager. I have already submitted annual report for last year to my bank head office in Accra - Ghana, and they did not notice the excess profits.
Meanwhile, I deposited the US$12,500,000.00 in an escrow account without a beneficiary (Anonymous), to avoid any trace. I cannot be directly connected to this fund because I'm still working with the bank. So, I need your help to transfer this money to your country for you and I to share. I have the desire to invest my own share of the money in any good business venture over there in your Country. I wish to point out 10% of this money to be shared among the charity organization, the remaining 90%, you have
