Subject: =?iso-8859-1?Q?Partnership=20Proposal?=
Dear Sir,
I am making this contact hoping that you will be willing and capable of
handling this proposal.I am Mr.Koffi Randy JP,an accounts officer with a
private firm here in Ghana.My company handles consultancy and seismographic
jobs for oil companies including Texaco, Shell and Conoco oil Companies.
The owner of this company is Mr. Manuel Lim an Asian engineer who lived
and did business in Ghana for over thirty years before his unfortunate death
in the Kenyan Airbus off the coast of Abidjan while coming back from Dubai
(UAE) in the year 2000.After his death, we the staffs of his company made
efforts to trace his family without success because unfortunately he had
no known wife or child.
The embassy was contacted to trace them but to no avail. The insurance company
that Kenyan company contacted to pay compensation to the victims had the
same problem so they had to pay the compensation to our company. As the
accounts officer of this company I was opportune to have helped in his financial
transaction with his bank. At the time of his demise , he had an excess
of Twenty Eight Million Five Hundfred thousand united state dollars ($28.5m)in
his personal deposit with the Standard Chartered Bank of Ghana plc(SCBG).
The Standard Chartered Bank has written several times on this issue but
I told them to wait that the next of kin of Mr. Lim is overseas and will
contact them.
Presently, our company is about to fold because the money paid by Kenyan
airlines has been exhausted in paying salaries and other expenses.I want
you to assit us by presenting yourself as the next of kin of Mr.Manuel Lim
so that the bank will pay the money in your favor into any account, which
you will provide. As soon as the money gets into your account, I will come
over to your country for sharing and to invest my part in any viable business
with your assistance. The mode of sharing will be 35%for you, 60% for us
and 5% for expenses and taxation. If you are interested and can handle this
transaction, contact me immediately.
Yours Sincerely.
Mr.Koffi Randy JP.
