Daer Ethel,

Thanks for the update.

I am glad to hear that you have received a feed back from the attorney and the fee of £575 is not much of a problem going by what you have explained but here in Ghana, we are not allowed to send money out of Ghana through the Western Union or Money Gram service but can only received through them, which makes it rather impossible for me to send money to you.

Secondly, we will have a little problem with an existing law here, which stipulates that for any international transfer such as this, for which the beneficiary is not resident in the country, and regarding which a legal attorney has to represent such beneficiary, a payment evidence directly from the beneficiary bearing such beneficiary’s name, must be presented by the representing attorney before the notarisation can be obtained.

This is necessary, to prove that the beneficiary actually exist and he / she is the person authorizing the representing attorney to obtain the Notarization from the court on his / her behalf because government claims that many prominent figures in our society, have transferred huge amount of money outside this country under the disguise that the beneficiary is not present in the country.

For this reason, this law exist that there must be a payment receipt from the non resident beneficiary which must be presented to the court before the Notarization can be obtained. Having explained all of these, I will need you to send to the lawyer, at least £200.00 together with the copy of the payment receipt so that he can present it in order to obtain the notarization, while I will give a confidant friend the balance of £375 to take to the lawyer’s office or make him have it on your behalf, any way he instructs.

Get back to me as soon as you send this to the lawyer and let me know on time, so that I make him have the balance.

Keep me posted as soon as you do this.

Regards,

Mr.Frank.

Dear Frank

Thank you for your kind wishes, I am feeling much better now.

I have had a reply from the attorney, his fee for signing the Fund Release Order is £1000. payable once the funds have cleared. which is reasonable given the circumstances. He also requires the notarization fee of £575 to be paid in advance.

This raises certain problems. As you are aware, I have been pretending to Mr. Aidoo that I am a terribly-well-to-do businesswoman who thinks nothing of leaving 3.5 Million US dollars lying around in a foreign bank account for years on end. You and I know that in reality I am a simple whelk seller who hasn’t had her hands on anything resembling £575 since I ran the local church raffle one Christmas and, as I said to the vicar during the subsequent investigation, that money was only resting in my account.

I have been giving this matter a great deal of thought and I think I may have come up with a fool-proof solution. I assume that you, being a senior banker, aren’t short of a dollar or two, you could lend me the £575. I would of course repay this as soon as the funds have been transferred, and as a gesture of goodwill I will also pay the attorney’s fees of £1000 out of my share of the proceeds. I really can’t see any flaws in this plan and I’m sure you will agree that it illustrates the benefit of having someone of my caliber on board.

Please remit the money by Western Union Money Transfer and inform me of the control number and question/answer as soon as possible.

Nearly there Mr. Wuddah!

Kind Regards

Ethel

Dear Mr. Wuddah

Thank you for your mail. I am sorry to say that I have been confined to bed with a case of flu for the last 3 days, somewhat ironic in view of my pretence to Mr. Aidoo that I was unable to fly due to illness.

I have today written to the lawyer recommended by Mr. Aidoo and will keep you informed of developments.

Kind Regards

Ethel

Dear Mrs. Trellis,

How are you today hope all is well with you, I have not hard from you for some days now. Please I want to know if you have been in contact with the lawyer do also keep me posted. Because it is very important that I hear from you.

Thanks

Frank.

Dear Mr. Ibekah

Allow me to introduce myself, I am Mrs. Ethel Trellis, a shellfish retailer from North Wales. You were recommended by Mr. Raymond Aidoo of the International Commercial Bank Ghana Ltd as being able to help with a small problem that I am experiencing. I wish to transfer a sum of money from The International Commercial Bank Ghana Ltd, all the necessary procedures have been completed but for the money to actually be released requires my signature. I had planned to fly to Accra and sign the document in person but Dr. Hatton has forbidden me from flying for at least 6 weeks so I am considering appointing an attorney to sign in my place.

Please let me know if you would be interested in undertaking this assignment and, if so, what documentation etc would be required.

Kind Regard

Madam, we are still waiting to hear from you!

Attn: Mrs.Ethel Trellis,

Madam,

We hereby acknowledge the receipt of your mail with content well noted.

Note that the bank cannot mislead you to get into any illegal arrangement because if we do, we will bear the consequence, knowing that you can always point out that we introduced the lawyer to you.

Secondly, the duty of the attorney is only to endorse the documents on your behalf, while the bank has the duty to remit your money into your nominated account. Be also informed that the lawyer has no access to the funds, unless you give him an authorization letter which has to be sent to the bank and copied to the attorney. Only then will he have access to the funds.

However, below is the contact information of the lawyer:

Name: ATTORNEY JAMES IBEKAH

E-MAIL: james.ibekahlaw@yahoo.com

TEL: (+) 233 545398254.

Kindly go ahead and contact him with the above information and tell him that you were introduced to him by Mr.Raymond Aidoo of Internationial Commercial Bank Ghana Ltd, so that he can represent you for the signing of the funds release order document, to enable your funds be released to your designated bank account.

Thanking you for banking with us. Your happiness is our greatest concern.

Sincerely Yours,

Mr.Raymond C. Aidoo
