Another email from Ghana (oh Boy!)

I’m passing up another answer to my prayers.

Dear Friend,
My name is Mr.ABEDI GYAN, I am an accountant in accounting department of Ministry of Mines and Energy Ghana. Also am a member of contracts awarding committee of this ministry under Ghana government. This mail may come to you as a surprise but be rest assured that this is not a hoax mail. I write to solicit your assistance in a funds transfer deal involving US$5,500,000:00M.
Two years ago, Ghana government asked my committee to award contracts to foreign firms, which I and my colleague With our good position, deliberately over invoiced the contract sum to the tune of US$5,500,000:00.
The contracts value has been paid off to the actual contractors that executed these jobs, all I want now is a trusted foreign partner like you that we shall front with the banking account number to Claim the over inflated sum. All I require is your honest cooperation an confidence in me which I know would not come easy. I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate background that will protect you from any breach of the law. I would advise that you give this positive consideration and get back to me soon.
I’ll be flexible and considerate in the percentage share that will be given to you for your assistance I know there may be scams and junk mails on the internet but certainly, this is not one. Please do not fail to understand that in spite of all that, opportunities of this kind still abound. If you have ever wished or prayed for something good to come your way, now I urge you to take this message seriously and with an open mind,you could never know.
This may be an answer to your prayers.I look forward to hearing from you as soon as possible.
Bye And God Bless,
Mr. ABEDI GYAN

A new kind of scam twist

I am drenched with tears reading this sob story. It is so sad that 
they won’t get a response from me
Beloved,  
I am drenched with tears while writing this short message
 to you.
It was heartbreaking news to me few  days ago when my doctor
notified me on complications on my health condition which he
 officially made known to me. He further stressed that the
complication I had in my human mechanism as a result of a
secondary liver cancer which have destroyed all the organs in my
body system.  According to him, he said that this complication
will lead to my imminent death since no medication can alleviate
the high system of deformation I am encountering at this time in
my system.   In the view of the above, I am in quest to find a trustworthy
and upright individual whom I will entrust the sum of $3.2
million USD and this   has led me to you. The said fund was
acquired by me as  an inheritance from my adopted father who
died as a result of political crisis which erupted among his most
political associate and business clique.   I will make available
to you all information and officially
authorize document which will endorse your claim as the beneficiary
to the fund in question in the finance house where the fund was
lodged by my adopted father. I have mapped out the modalities on
how the fund will be apportioned. 35% of the principal amount of
the money will be dished out to you while 65% will be allotted
to any charitable or orphanage home of your preference.  
My motive to dispense the funds to a charity and orphanage home
is that I grew up as an orphan and do not have any heirs hitherto.  
 Upon your acceptance to this proposal kindly get back to me through
this email:

Best Regards
Mrs. Farida Jordan
