Abby is Staying Alive! 191 Comments

Abeba Lakew (Abby) - Manale.jpgWe are all familiar with Abeba Lakew. A beautiful up and coming Ethiopian singer who grew up mostly in the United States (Houston, TX). She started her musical career in the United States. Good singer with great potential; so I thought, till I heard the latest Album. Specifically the song titled "Egnalay." I was going to write how this song is a sampling or ripoff from the Begee's Staying Alive ; but I'm not, I will let you decide. eh eh eh eh eGnalay!

On a postive note, I do love the song titled Manale!

    I really wanted to like her, I really did. Nolawi, you’re right that was a ripoff(I’ll bet everything I own that Abby didn’t obtain exclusive rights from the Bee Gee’s and Rufus for “Egnalay”)but it doesn’t start and end with Abby. Its an epidemic that has hit the Ethiopian Music Industry.

    Ere someone please STOP this MADNESS!

    ^^very true…

    also i would add that what she was saying doesn’t make sens. she say that it is not her fault that she is in US and she miss her country ethiopia, but in reality no one stops her from going back, except the reality. overall, i see some identity conflict and i think some of the issues she sing about touch many ethio youth.

    Oh ohoo oh ohoo oh, anchin iyale, siwalil libe wale!!! (comes to mind! ;) )

    anyway… I think her music is boring…

    “I was going to write how this song is a sampling or ripoff from the Begee’s Staying Alive ; but I’m not, I will let you decide.”

    nice, Nolawi … so you write that you won’t write :-)

    I like her style. That one particular Bee Gees’ song is amusing for the first 10 seconds, then indifference grips. Things soon degenerate and it just plain sucks …. until George Michael’s “Aint Nobody” kicks in out of nowhere, and then you’re left with a big “what F**K?!?!”. Then it ends.

    Never heard the rest of her stuff .

    Can we give her kudos for … umm … … attempting? I hope she doesn’t get sued, or something.

    um dis gurl is alright.she kinda hav her unique style.i can tell that.any ways y aiint she showiin some concerts in europe or sumthin.cum to london yene konjo we got a lot to offer.peace!

    Abby just did a concert in Denver, colorado. I gotta say she was really good. I mean she has very good stage presence and a very good voice. I love her music. I am glad she redid staying alive. It’s was very nicely done and i love it. Stop hating on her cause she beautiful lol.

  9. 9 nolawi

    it seems like abby has a big fan base?

  10. 10 Michael

    I think she has great voice……I am cuious to hear next album, then after-ward I will admire her, unless….I don’t know…….

  11. 11 Jambo

    I?ve seen her on a stage, and she failed my expectation. I?m not sure if it?s b/c of the sound sys, I could not hear a single word except la la la la la la la

  12. 12 Zena

    I think you guys are hating on the young talented girl for no reason. She just did a concert in Calgary on the 20th of May,2006, and she was amazing, and i also had a chance to meat, great, and eat with her. Shes quite a nice lady, and is very down to earth, come on, how many ethiopian singers have you had at YOUR house eating YOUR food. Anyways i just felt the need to point that out because she is an honest person trying to make a living out of what she loves to do.

    WHAT WHAT WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU GUYS TALKING ABOUT?????? AND YOU KNOW THIS GIRL IS HOT, UNIQUE, VERY TAILENTED AND WHO LOVES HER COUNTRY VERY MUCH SO. SHE HAS DONE A GREAT JOB WITH MIXING HER MUSIC WITH INTERNATIONAL, SO WE HAVE TO SUPPORT HER FOR BRINGING A NEW STYLE TO OUR MUSIC AND SHE INVITED OTHERS TO LISTEN OUR MUSIC. YOU ALL KNOW THAT NO ONE ACT LIKE THAT WELL IN THE VIDEO. SO ABBY KEEP UP THE GOOD JOB. OTHERS STOP HATING……………

  15. 15 Henok

    I love her music and style. Everybody mix their music with someone else. I guess you guys can not handle this. I heard she is going to be in Los Angeles in July and I can’t wait to see her.

  16. 16 Nestana

    I THINK ABBY IS OFF THE CHAIN. I AM AN AFRICAN AMERICAN WHO LOVES HER MUSIC AND HER VIDEO. I HAVE SEEN MANY ETHIOPIAN VIDEOS AND NONE COMPARE TO HER. SHE IS DOING VERY WELL AN I WISH HER MANAGERS WOULD SET HER UP WITH A WEB PAGE SO PEOPLE WHO RESPECT AND WISH HER WELL COULD SEE IT. BY THE WAY, SHE WAS ALREADY IN L.A. YOU MISSED IT
    HENOK……………I HOPE I GET A CHANCE TO SEE HER AGAIN

  17. 17 joc

    i meet abby at her conncert in atalat, she was sooo nice and she is very good on a stage.

  18. 18 soda

    she is indeed a nice person; but she cant sing for shit. no talent. sh eis just abother chachi, a sex symbol

  19. 19 Honey

    Soda, you must be a jelous women and don’t have any idea what good music about. If u think Abby is all about nothing, you woldn’t be reading about her. I understand it’s a women thing. peace

  20. 20 nate

    i don’t care about her music that girl is hot. and if i had the chance i fuck the shit out of her………..

    When I read all the neg coments in the beggining of this site I knew I had to listen to the song. I just listened to the song and I don’t see anything wrong with it. Ok yeah it’s copied but big deal, everyone does that and not just Ethiopians. Have ya’ll ever heard of Reggeton or Asian pop?Everyone makes a remake or a remix of the hotest thing out in the the US. I’m not saying it’s righ(especially when they’re not getting permision for it)but singling Abby out is not gonna solve your problems. If you’re gonna pick on someone why not pick on someone big that’s been doin it for a while not a young new artist who just came out. I mean it’s not like she’s making millions of this anyway. She’s just a young talented woman taking Ethiopian music to another level so stop hating on her. It’s sad how when one of us makes it there’s so many of us trying to bring that person down. And it’s sad how quickly we can pick out the negative and completly ignore the positive or give it little attention. If you don’t like her or her music, it’s real simple, don’t listen to it you ediot. oh and I mean that with all the love in the world. One love my beautiful Ethiopian people.

  23. 23 DD ojuny

    she is the most beautiful girl ever in the world. I want to see her oneday.thanks

  24. 24 japy

    i really like her. she is talented. she is my most fav ethiopian singer. i’ve never been intersted in ethiopian songs but since abby came out my mind changed she made me listen to ethiopian songs and made me love my country. she can sing better than all ethiopian singers. she is the best. i love her voice,style and moves.
    and all the haters get out off abby. u r all jealous cuz, u can’t do it like her!!!!!!!!!!!!

  25. 25 semira

    u guys with negative comment and jelous ppl shut up and get a life. Yes she is hot, beautiful and a best singer. U hate her just because she copy that is all, please please get of her back. let us enjoy her music and the best ethiopian video music.
    one love!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  26. 26 soda

    Frankly, I’m quite surprised this many people know about abby, and I dont know how anyone could possibly like a rip oof song like this one.

    I have a erie feeling that some of the comments on this post are from the same person..

    if only there was a way to check?

  27. 27 TITI

    SHE IS VERY BEAUTIFUL.

  31. 31 alem

    Woy gud! nobody here talked about her beauty eko. we know that she is beautiful but then, even a drinking glass can be beautiful:) The issue was about the quality of her music that’s lacking originality. I don?t understand why all our young artists need to imitate others there seems to be no room for creating ones own style. So sad.

  32. 32 sahia

    shes great but not as good as teddy afro everyone has their own oppinion and thats wat makes music so special she can really keepa beat and like how she stepped into something new with that remake from the bejees though i didnt like it

  33. 33 sahia

    i think she is good not as good as teddy afro but good i like how she tries to do new things like the beges remake witch frankly I HATED

  34. 34 ragaw

    one thing i really sure about her is she can do a lot b/c she is talented ,young , creative .guys let`s try to give our ear to something new,she shouln`t has to be miss-x.u know what i mean.keep up the good work of u abbiyaaeee.

  35. 35 unique_imitation

    I am from Poland. I am very very interested in Africa. I love this continent and all the countries. Every day I look for new thing about Africa on the net. I found a website: http://www.addislive.com and there I found Abby Lakew’s songs . I love “Hello Ethiopia” the mostly. Abby is perfect :)

  36. 36 same

  37. 37 awexus

    i don’t like her act ………………it’s too much i know she looks sexy but for me ………
    abby don’t discourage by my words.

  38. 38 Sthlm

    Abet egirua siamir!!!!!! Next time I find her I will hug her legs!

  39. 39 Robert Lee

    Are you guys serious? Almost all of the music world remixs songs of other artists all the time. I just hear an old madonna song playing in the background of an R&B song. I wont mention how many times I have friggin Dancing Queen or some other just as bad song remade from EURO music.

    Anyhow, I like her music and think she is a lot better than most I have heard from Ethiopia. Her vids will stay on my page for a while!! Zeritu is also fresh and I love the old school Ester Aweke!

    Dont be surprised by this white boy!

    Hey Nolawi,
    how about adding a Spellcheck to this site cos mayyyn! I’m being amused like nobody’s problem by all these words that get mispelt into other words that mean completely different.

  42. 42 Nolawi

    ha ahah ahah lol

    Good jop temelcach!

  44. 44 God creation

    Abby is one of the kind. She created music for international ears with her beautifull approach introducing her country. Her modernity and style should’t looked down. It is time for Ethiopia music to come out of the box( my people the world is getting closer and closer as i right this, think about it) Abby did it and i hope more will follow with taste like her. I can see her in a big picture doing great movies. She is born actor. Abby keep up the great work and i have been waiting for a person like you. Beauty is God gift, and let her show it with style.
    With Great Respect and Admiration, Yager lige negne.

    I love u

  57. 57 gas

    Please stop confusing criticism with hatered. For someone to say that Abby rippoff Bee Gees’s song is nothing short of than saying to her “be creative,depend on your self”. I do not think we are that desperate to sing the Amharic version of every popular music that we know of. Back in the days, Mohamud Ahmed was labeled as ‘firash adash’ for remaking the old songs. The message to him was ‘get up on your feet and show us what is yours’.

  58. 58 Ferede

    I had the chance to see her in Europe.
    She was really amazing.
    Keep up the good job MB.
    I am sure we’re going to be proud of in the futire too.
    Everything is possible girl.

  59. 59 Sammy

    wow! she is so cute.i swear if i meet her i 'll hug her……. i don't care abt her song cozz har song is nice

  60. 60 hiwo

    I love her album when I bought i used to listen to it every day it puts you in a good mood I like evry track apart from the beeges cover sorry abby that should have been left out when i heard it i was like what the hoot! only the beeges can sing that song they have left such a big mark on that song even people in china know that song its like trying to do a cover of Mike jackson’s Thriller some records are not worth tampering with. Cover any song but well known songs like ‘bad’ whose bad! or ‘like a virgin’ by madona these songs have MADONA written on them in bold. Just like the Beeges ‘Staying Alive’

    cant wait for your next album

  61. 61 tadese

    I like her album I listen to it every day also, my baby too. we’re proud and respect her .

    I think her music a lot better than most I have listen
    She’s talented woman taking Ethiopian music to next level
    I can’t wait the next surprise song with video soon.

    so stop negitive on her.

  62. 62 bubu

    first of all ,nobody denies she is sexy and that’s why most girls don’t like her.i like her way of dancing and
    her sweet cheek.

  63. 63 chelema

    Just wondering. Though I can’t comment on the specific song, since I had no idea if she got permission from the Bee Gees or not. But one thing I like to point out about Abby is that she is a humanitarian. Most of you I think failed to find out. But do you know what she is doing right now? She is in Ethiopia doing a concert to raise funds for a hospital specializing in heart problems. She is not getting paid a thing. It was something she decided to do on her own and most artists have been moved by her decission and so they too decided to join her. Now for that, I give her the big 10. I always wondered why artists like Teddy Afro and Aster wouldn’t think of doing something like that in support of their community, but here comes Abby Lakew and she blew us all with her kindness and attitude of giving back to the community. As far as her music, I think they are all great. I like her songs better than Zeritu’s. Besides, she is ESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS HOT.

  64. 64 story

    I love Abby. She is hot and sexy as we most habeshas are.
    I love her voice as well. The only thing is i am not sure if i like her songs. I think maybe i don’t relate to them. The only one i like is ” hello Ethiopia” but i am not sure why the greeting was in english. Maybe she needs to have better song writers. This is just my opinion i’m sure there are plenty who relate to her songs. On the other hand i love a new artist called Zeritu. She has a wonderful voice. The songs are very good in terms of lyrics. I love Zeritu’s song ” yikribish yehesew” and “aywedegnem” Zeritu can sing high notes. She is really good and I relate to all her songs. Abby is also great singer. She just needs better lyrics and ways of singing.

  65. 65 Gejaw

    I like abby too much. I have seen her clip which fascinates me too much.
    I think she is a kind of hot girl that e’body will love her. I wish I have her e mail address

  66. 66 Bobi

    Abby has a good voice. the words in the songs are a little bit shallow and mostly don’t make sense. she should consider getting good writers nest time.

  67. 67 ssmm

    I don’t understand her music

  68. 68 anonymous

    I hate her songs period. There should be some Quality control b4 the release of songs. now a days any one who gets the opportunity is selling crap albums.Abby is one of those girls who should limit themselves at home, singing for her family and/or friends.defar ale yagere sew.

  69. 69 samsaon

    Perhaps she should consider trying something else, to make a living. music definetly is not her thing.

  70. 70 bgFelasfit

    wow! ok…I’m confused…
    Nolawi help — looks like someone’s stealing my blog identity…I didn’t post #68 on this subject!
    I wasn’t even near a computer @ that time …btw…what time zone does bernos function in? that’s also something confusing

  71. 71 chelema

    bgF, that happened to me once. Clearly there are some people who get a kick out of using others people’s nick.

    Nolawi, is there a way to stop that?

  72. 72 kaleb

    I really did like her songs when I heard them.I was in one of the concert that she gave in addis on the new years eve .am sorry to say this but almost most of the ppl that was there almost dissapointed. I hope it is just a bad that she had and am hopefull she would surprize me someday.

  73. 73 DaWitt

    I am in love. Abeba will you marry me?

  74. 74 ethio angel

    i think abby is de best singer EVAAAA ND I MEAN IT
    PLUS SHE IS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BEAUTIFUL ya i really prefer her song rather dan de othrzzzzzzzzzzz

    lol

    xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

  75. 75 Dinich

    I don’t know how she dealt with the copyright issue but I don’t have problem with remixing songs. It should not be confused with lack of creativity. A lot of very creative artists do it.

  76. 76 mamy

    abby I love you so much. you are so preety. Oh:my god

  77. 77 NATI

    THAT GIRLL EMMMMMMMMMMMM………SHE MAK ME SAY HOOOOOOOO I LOVE HER.

  81. 81 Enkelini

    I say big up to sister girl—she’s doing her thang—no matter what you all say :(
    Especially no one has ever done this– having nice looking (not skinny—JK) Ethio-American men on her videos… at least I like to say thank you for that part…

    I love you Abby and am you’re biggest fan…

  82. 82 Mikael Kramer

    i think Abbe is doing the right thing,mixing Ethiopian music with western beats and i must say it is a classic, especially for the youth. even though i do not understand amharic properly (I am half Israeli Half Ethiopian), i am loving it. Great job lady

  83. 83 hewat

    she did somting good fore the kids in eth……………….I love her good job abbya.

  84. 84 sara

    just wanna say sumthing every ethiopian chick is beatiful and we don’t need to talk about her beauty caz she’s not mona lisa u know she’s a normal chick…….plus y would any of these ppl be jealouse?? im not trying to hate but i don’t like her music either that doesn’t mean im jealouse right but the good thing is ma sis loves her…i don’t know y but i guess ppl have different flava

  85. 85 sara

    everybody give me a clap caz this my first time saying shyt like this online lol

  86. 86 Daddy_D

    She needs to get into studio and do much better songs. Right now she has zero marketibility except to the habesha market which is/or might be only who she cares for. If she ever want’s to crack that R&B market she needs BEATS and bangin producers! Who is she signed with? If she doing music for fun then she will be ok. If she trying to take it to that level the other lady from housten level (Beyonce) she need a R&B image makeover, sound make over etc. I will continue to buy her music not because im feeling it but because i support her ambition and hope to see her succesful one day. Any unsigned Habesha ladies out there interested in doing R&B that are talented, sexy, Konjo etc holla back at me. I (might) be willing to invest in you.

  87. 87 baby

    I heard her music a while ago when a friend went to Addis and brought her cd. I thought she was OK, though I had a hard time understand what she was saying, her lyrics I mean….But then, I watched her videos…and I have to say that I’m totally addicted! The camera loves this girl….especially her Achawtegne song, it’s totally hypnotic….she’s sexy as hell, good voice, and can dance too! Go Abby!

    Her “staying alive!” is not much of a problem since she is puting her own twist on it….art is recycled all the time. Her situation is no different.

    Sara, the thing about mentioning her beauty is that it’s difficult to not mention it. I’m a girl, and I’m impressed by her looks. Abesha women are beautiful in general, but not everybody looks that good on camera. And you’re no hater, or jelous, for stating your opinion……

  88. 88 A NEW FAN

    What happened to the lady who song with her on the Manale Cd and video? I think her name Was “The Lioness Vikki.” She is a beautiful women to me.

  89. 89 chrystyn

    hey im chrystyn im a big fan of abby even though im not ethiopian but, soo interested.. ***chrystyn***

  90. 90 A NEW FAN

    What happened to the lady who song with her on the Manale and Achawtegn and video? I think her name is “Lioness Vikki.” She is a beautiful women to me. I thought they were a great colaborating and since I do not see or hear her on this next cd, wonder what became of Lioness Vikki. Someone help me!!!!

  91. 91 melat

    Every body who fills abby can’t sing you all don’t know about music you are just there criticizing you all can’t control your jalousie. Abby keep up the good job and you are the first Ethiopian singer who is trying to change the boring style of Ethiopian music.

  92. 92 Shaleqa

    where is Abbey? Doesn’t she have a site of her own? I am her fan and if she doesn’t have her own site, let’s build her a fan site. If any one supports this idea, I will go a head!

    btw very eloquently put… u do hae a point… if this article wasn’t a year and a half old I would reply why i said those things.

    Anyways I did receive an email regarding this post about 8 months ago, from her manager/friend or something to that extent. I did apologize on my tone. and explained that I really hate ripoff songs!

  107. 107 justme

    well..well..
    once i was in dc ethiopian res. i saw her music video and i was asking myself who is she..?? i didnt paid attention her voice but her confidence toward the camera impressed me…(i didnt know she grew up here…..

    Abby’s market is so good Wright know, because she is too smart she fuck one of the best promoters in America Yonas from Denver. Before she fucks him she used to play in the restaurant but know she asks too much money for the concert thanks to that edit. He took her out of restaurant and makes her a singer. He also fucks a lot of Ethiopian signers and models he is a bitch and a ho.

    dang people she is a good singer….habesha people is hater so if ya’ll don’t like her music, it’s real simple don’t listen to it.

  111. 111 candy

    you talking about her because she is good……..simple.

  112. 112 dawitm

    mimi & candy,

    i agree with you. what she did is a remix, and everyone does it. she actually did a good job. so, people are just jelouse and are probably not hip on that kinda music :)

  113. 113 Lily

    Hey all,

    Abby’s is a very talented singer and very down to earth. It is so fuuny how you all are trying to put this talented and beautiful young singer down. It would be really nice if we could all apprecite each other once in a while and stop hating on each other. And just like ZENA said i had a chance to eat, laugh and actually be present at her concerts and she is very honest, sweet and talented. So, to say the least STOP HATING ON HER. DON’T HATE APPRECIATE.

  114. 114 bati

    Leave my aby lakew alone! she got the voice, the style, the lyrics, and most of all respect for her culture and ppl. Does she has to pretend as if ” she forgot how to speak amharic”? Come on guys, you all have a lot to learn from her of which you could be useful for your own community. As far as i know wanna be’s are good for nothing for any society. Get a life and give up MIQEGNNET.

  116. 116 amanuel

    Hi everybody,
    I live in dallas and i know abby for long time. She never played in restaurants, i don’t know why people create such stories and even if somebody plays in restaurants, what is wrong with it? Concerning yonas from dallas, the so called Eng. yonas ( an engineer who never finished his school ), he is well known for his lies especially about artists. Am sure he wrote this by himself am sorry i forgot to say somebody did it for him, because he can’t even write properly.

    I feel sorry for this “MSKIN”.

  117. 117 nauny

    yea so she grew up in dallas not houston texas!

    i grew up with her

  118. 118 MoZaZiT

    Ayeee dagemo Abi zefagne hona ….talk abt female artist after Aster especially stage wise its Z E R I T U needed to be talked abt…damn if that girlz hit the tours in europe or america or canada that girl will rock everybodyz mind…wish she tours in near future…that girl got talent n beauty…but comparin abi to her….dang abi tryin to fit in she dont even have her own styles of beats n stuff…” sew balew new ” …so i guess abi is okay for the states but not comparin as a best female ETHIOPIAN artist….n for yall who haven’t seen or no idea abt zeritu plz check out ” Guzo Zeritu ” dvd at yr nearest habesha store n u be the judge:)

  119. 119 manchu

    Whats up Abby well you did it…this is manchu we recorded you in Dallas at that small studio in pleasnt grove..remember we used your voice as an instrument…and had Robert the Jamican guy on the track with you I still have the tape of that…ha ha ha congrats!! I have been looking for you for some years…Im still producing…Ive worked with 2 Grammy artist and would love for you to check out some new music…Hopefully you get this message or some one knows how to get to you…my email is manchumedia@gmail.com

  121. 121 tsegure

    To say “I deeply hate her” would be an understatment!

  122. 122 Producer

    No one will ever take her too serious if she keeps knocking off old music. I have worked with many well known R&B artist and have been searching for Habesha girl to produce for awhile. Scale of 1 to 10 I give her a 5. Im not Simon Cowell… But she needs more/ alot more! She would be good on a show like Hanna Montana (Disney Child Shows) The real talent is Winta!!!!!! This girl could be the next Beyonce if in the right producers hands. The first person that brings me an unsigned artist look and sing like Winta i give 500.00 dollars. Im based out of D.C.

  123. 123 spacefog

    Yeah ..Right! like all the world needs is another fake Beyonce imitation .

    Winta is good but she has nothing new to offer.

    Its like What happned to Nevia and Ashanti once …the moment beyonce came out all of them started copying her which didn’t get them far ,Of course !

    But I think she will be fine is she stays in Europe where people do not have much taste of R&B .

  124. 124 Bethlehem

    i LOVE THIS GIRL keep up the great work! she desrves it and she is very BEAUTIFUL dont worry what other ppl say there just jelious! abby keep doin your thing and hang in there! i love her voice and my favorite song from her is DESTA DESTA DESTA DESTA :)

    LOVE U

  125. 125 Producer

    What ever…im in the industry. Beyonce is the R&B standard in this country. NOOOOO record company is gonna seriously sign her unless she can compete is all im saying. Abby gets no airtime! It’s about numbers any real producers or managers on this blog in THIS country knows this. She’s cute but they want sexy! She can sing but they want someone that can sang! She is a product that has to be packaged. Right now….she can’t cut it. In the right hands possibly but she needs to write her OWN stuff and stop makieng those unprofessional music video. Abby if u ever see this i speak the facts. Good Luck.

  126. 126 Manchu

    I THINK ABBY IS HOT!! I WORKED WITH HER..TRUE HER VIDEOS AND MUSIC CHOICE’S MIGHT NOT BE THE BEST BUT I KNOW WHAT SHE HAS TO OFFER…..IF SOME ONE CAN GET ME IN TOUCH WITH HER…I GUARENTEE…GAR..RON…TEE….MULTI PLATINUM……I PRODUCE HEAT…AND HAVE THE CONNECTIONS AND THE ACCESS TO THAT FIRE ON THOSE TRAX……..
    …ANYWHO..OPINIONS ARE LIKE ELBOWS JUST ABOUT EVERYONE HAS 2….

    I think Abby is among the brightest stars coming up in Ethiopia. She will be the future Aster Awoke. Let me tell all the haters out there that we need to support the talent coming out of our country instead of hating on our pure talents.I believe one day in the future all these pure talents can influnece and change the way the world music industry thinks about Ethiopian music. God bless Ethiopia and God bless the people.

    Dear,

    I hope this may not constitute sort of embarrassment to you, My name is Mr. John David, I am the regional bank manager of the Barclays Bank Ghana Ltd.

    I came to know you in my Private Search for a reliable and reputable person to handle this Confidential Transaction. I only hope we can assist each other.

    I have packaged a financial transaction that will benefit both of us, as the regional Auditor General of the Barclays Bank Ghana Ltd.; it is my duty to send in a financial report to my head office in the capital city Accra at the end of each year.

    On the course of last year 2007 end of year report, I discovered that my branch in which I am the manager made an excess profit of Seven million five hunderd united states dollars [US$7,500,000.00] which my head office are not aware of and will never be aware of. I have since placed this fund on what we call SUSPENSE ACCOUNT without any beneficiary.

    As an officer of the bank I can not be directly connected to this money, this is why I,m contacting you for us to work so that you can assist and receive this money into your bank account for us to share.I will offer you 20% of the total amount for your assistance.

    Note that there are practically no risks involved in this transaction ,it will be bank to bank transfer,all I need from you is to stand claim as the original depositor of this fund who made the deposit with Takoradi branch so that my Head office can order the transfer to your designated bank account. Do not make undue the advantage of the trust I have bestowed on you, and I assure you we can achieve it successfully.

    Best regards,

    Many thanks for your post. I would like to write my opinion that the cost of car insurance differs from one scheme to another, simply because there are so many different issues which play a role in the overall cost. Such as, the brand name of the vehicle will have a huge bearing on the purchase price. A reliable older family motor vehicle will have a lower priced premium than just a flashy sports car.
