Another bank scam gets past the spam filter.

Apparently, Mr. Ohene’s bank can’t afford a spell checker…
Greetings to you,
I humbly seek your services in a confidential matter regarding some funds, Five Million Eight Hundred and Fifty Thousand US Dollars ($5,850,000.00) unaccounted for in our bank, Barclays Bank of Ghana , Takoradi Branch, during the last 2007 external audit. As the Regional Manager in the Bank, I deposited this fund in an ESCROW CALL ACCOUNT at our Headquarters. I need the assistance of a trustworthy person whom I shall fill in as the original beneficiary of these funds. Your major role would be to provide a bank account where the funds will be transferred. You will have 14% of these funds as your share at the end of this transaction.
<sarcasm>
And the best way to find a “trustworthy person” is to randomly choose someone on the internet.
</sarcasm>
What prompted this deal is because I have a 9-year old daughter who has leukemia, blood cancer. She needs a bone marrow transplant to save her life. I want this transplanting done in any good hospital in your country. I shall resign from my job and bring my family to start a new life in your country when this transfer is done.
Notice how Mr. Ohene never mentions my country.
You are the only one I have contacted for this business and if you can assist me, please get back to me so that I shall give you more detail on how to proceed.
It’s pretty clear I’m not the only one Mr. Ohene has contacted.
Sincerely,
Mr. Richard Ohene
I’ll give “Mr. Ohene” some credit, this scam email actually came from a computer in Ghana.

From Mrs Marie Catherine.
Dearest,
With Due Respect And Humanity, I was compelled to write to you under a humanitarian ground. My name is Mrs Marie Catherine, I am married to Mr Jean-Claude ROLAND a director in a trading company here in Cote d’Ivoire.We were married for 36 years without a child. He died after a Cadiac Arteries
Operation.
Cue the violins.
And Recently, My Doctor told me that I would not last for the next six months due to my cancer problem (cancer of the liver and stroke). Before my husband died last year there is this sum $2.8 Million Dollars that he deposited with a Private Finance Company here In Ivory Coast.Presently this
money is still in the Vault of the Company.
You wouldn’t happen to be a friend of Ms. Esther Jacob? She
sent me an email claiming she “may not last for the next six months” and had a similar “business proposal.”
Having known my condition I decided to donate this fund to any good God fearing brother or sister that will utilize this fund the way I am going to instruct herein. I want somebody that will use this fund according to the desire of my late.husband to help Lessprivilaged people, orphanages,widows
and propagating the word of God. I took this decision because I don’t have any child that will inherit this fund, And I don’t want in away where this money will be used in an unGodly way. This is why I am taking this decision to hand you over this Fund.
I am not afraid of death hence I know where I am going.I want you to always remember me in your daily prayers because of my up coming Cancer Surgery.Write back as soon as possible any delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing another person for this same purpose, Hoping to read from you
asap.
I am not afraid of death hence I know where I am going. To Hell.
God bless you as you listing to the voice of reasoning.
Mrs Marie Catherine.
For someone suffering from cancer Ms. Marie Catherine sure gets around. She apparently sent this email from a computer in Japan

My name is James Campbell, the personal attorney to
David Williams and I am contacting you in regards to
some funds deposited with a bank by my late client
Mr. David Williams who is now deceased and leaving
no known relatives to claim the fund.
What does this have to do with me?
After a series of search for a reliable person who I
can establish in claim of the fund, I contacted you
and my contact with you is based on a legitimate
arrangement. I am contacting you because I feel I
could trust you. The fund in the bank is $9.5million
dollars.
I must really be a “reliable person” because I’ve gotten several of these kind of emails.
Due to the importance of this matter, I would
appreciate if you can write me back to enable me
detail you further about this matter. I do
understand that this will sound so skeptical but I
assure you that it is legitimate. Please you are not
compelled to proceed with me because I require
someone that is highly responsible and trust worthy.
How exactly would someone who would get involved with such an obvious scam be considered highly responsible and trust worthy?
I will not release every information regarding this
matter until I hear back from you.
Then if I am satisfied, I will detail you with every
information regarding this transaction and also give
you more information about myself to enable you have
an idea of the person that you are dealing with. We
shall negotiation the percentage split during our future
correspondence.

Subject: Harmful Parasites Living and Breeding In Your Stomach
Japan refuses to accept a single export from the
United States in meat & dairy produce!
Now, what does that tell you?
That you’re a liar.
That Japan is
snobby? Nope! That Japan citizens hate milk and
meat?
Japan imported over 170,000 million Yen worth of meat from the United States in 2006.
Come on, you know better than that!
I do know better than that. It took me just a few minutes on Google to find the truth.
What it REALLY tells you is that the Government
of Japan is on to something few (if any) people
really know about! - That our foods have been
filled with “unnatural” things that they aren’t
supposed to have!
What it really tells me is you’re a liar.
What you may not really be ready to accept is the
fact that someone IS already poisoning your mom,
your dad, your brothers and your sisters, and
your closest friends and getting away with it!
Harmful Parasites - Everybody has them. If left
to live and breed inside your stomach, small and large intestines and colon, they will eventually
cause you to puff up, gain lots of weight, get sick more often, and take many, many years off
your life!
They use your body as a ‘Food Storehouse’ and so
they can live and breed by the millions. But now
it’s time to flush them out and down the toilet
for good. If you don’t they will just make you
fatter and much, much sicker!
Would you trust anything living in your bowels that has teeth but NO eyes?!!

Something YOU can do NOW, using water technology
provides you with a great ENTRY-LEVEL solution you can install in a few minutes without

Free energy is hard to believe - There’s a pretty good reason why free energy is hard to believe.
