PLEASE GET BACK TO ME ASAP

- Dear Friend,My name is Patrick Oforma. I am the regional manager of the INTERNATIONAL COMMERCIAL BANK OF GHANA, In Western region of Ghana. I came to know you in my Private Search for a reliable and reputable person to handle this Confidential Transaction. It may interest you to hear that i am a man of PEACE and INTERGRITY, 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 INTERNATIONAL COMMERCIAL BANK OF GHANA, 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 the last year 2007 end of year report, I discovered that my branch in which i am the manager made [3.5 Million USDollars] Three Million Five Hundred Thousand USDollars, which my head office are not aware of and will never be aware of. I have since place 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, so this is the reason why i am contacting you for us to work together so that you can assist me in receiving this money into your bank account for us to SHARE.While you will have 40% of the total fund .Note. there are practically no risk involved, 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 our branch so that my Head office can order the transfer to your designated bank account. If you accept this offer to work with me,i will appreciate it very much.As soon as i receive your response i will details you on how we can achieve it successfully.Thanks,Mr.Patrick Oforma.

I get the whole concept that these are scams and in the second one they just want access to your bank account so they can clean it out, but how does the first one work? They didn't ask for your bank account.
We were once mailed a check for $2500 written on the Bank of Montana and told it was money we had won. I knew that if I deposited that check into my account we were gonna lose money, but what if I opened another account, deposited it and then closed the account, withdrawing the funds. O simply cashed the check at my bank or one of those quick check cashing places that would have taken a huge percent.
I know I am obviously being naive, but I still don't see how this works.
