Standard 419 scam.

There is no money, no secret bank account, nothing. You will be asked to make a series of payments in advance, for legal fees, for taxes, for bribes, anything they can think up that sounds reasonable.

They will simply keep this money and nothing will ever be sent to you.

Remember, what the guy is actually asking you to do is help him steal money from a bank: you don’t want to get involved in that anyway, right?

Dear Friend,

I am Mr John Benson, the Operational head of Agricultural Development Loan Scheme of the Agricultural Development Bank Accra, Ghana.I want you to assist me in transfering the sum of Three million seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars [$3,750.000.00]out of Ghana West Africa.
I became the Operational head of this loan sheme not long ago. When I assumed office I discovered this money floating in my Banks" account. My investigation disclosed that the money was meant for foreign contractors who did some work with my bank in the past. These foreign contractors have since been paid in full but this money still remains as a debt in our account books. This money came from contract over invoicing and inflation of contract sum and I have decided to secretly transfer the money out and to convert it to a private use.
However, the safest way of doing this is to transfer this money overseas on the pretext that it is being paid to one of the foreign contractors that are being owed by my Bank.
If you will assist me, the money will be sent to you in the guise that you did some contract jobs in my Bank. We will apply for and secure government transfer approvals.
Requirements:
1. A good bank account where this money could be transferred. This bank account could be in your country or any other country provided that government tax on transferred fund is reasonable.
2. An undertaking from you as regards to mutual trust.
3. Confidentiality of the business.
Sharing ratio:
After the transfer to your provided bank account, you will receive 30% of the total fund 65% will be for me while 5% will be set aside for any expenses that may be incurred by either you or us.
Duration:
It may take us about 7 to 14 days from the day we receive a bank account from you to finish this business depending on your level of cooperation. I will give you full details when I receive your response.

Best regards
John Benson
