Looks like a "previous efforts" (also known as long-lost business partner) scam to me, but I could be wrong. Scammers are often just a little more creative than I often give them credit for.

I had one From David Lewis

THE PRESIDENCY
OFFICE OF DIRECTOR DUE PROCESS UNIT
OLD SENATE BUILDING TBS, GHANA.
REF: FGG/PRES/DPU/2005/QTR01/VOL.2

PAYMENT OF YOUR OVER DUE FUND THROUGH DEDUCTION

Dear Sir/Madam

Following directives and mandate this office received in respect of your over-due contract/inheritance fund claim valued at $40million, I am delighted to inform you that your name was in the pay roll on the schedule of payment on the category you belong . Now we are trying to recall back the schedule and in the system, we were made to understand you have not receive your fund, very dishearten that you have not received your fund because in your payment schedule roll, other contractors short listed along side with your name have received their fund since. This made you to benefit from this new payment policy through deduction method.

When we cross examine into our computer diskette analysis data bank we discovered that you have not been paid for this reason your name has been short listed among other contractors whose fund has been over due for payment, who will benefit for deduction payment policy newly introduced.

Therefore, a WAIVER FORM QZ would be sent to you for deduction certificate on your quick response to this mail.. As soon as this certificate is obtained which is for payment free, all necessary upfront payment charges will be deducted from your fund. The certificate is obtainable from the office of Mr. president at ACCRA GHANA.

AS soon as this certificate is obtained, it will be taken to high court justice for legal seal agreement stamp for notarization(this implies that you are in affirmative agreement with the Government to deduct all necessary fees from your fund). Now this certificate will be taken to the ministry of finance for endorsement which will be later directed to the accountant- general of the federation who will carry out the deduction exercise before it moves to the auditor- general of the federation for proper auditing and checks. At this stage, the ministry will over see the deduction before it will be taken to the paying bank for electronic telegraphic wire transfer.

If you can adhere to my instructions and directives this fund will be confirmed into your account within the next five (5) working days.

We urge your maximum co-operation as we are obliged to serve you better and to restore back lost hope to you, thanks.

Yours faithfully,
Mr. Davidl Ewis
Director, Due Process Unit


Funny how they always say, dear friend or Sir/Madam, if something was as sensitive as a substantial amount of money, you think they would at least bother to find out your name lol
