Attn:

I am Mr.KOJO SULAIMAN

a Ghanian working as an auditor

with one of the international bank here in Ghana,I

came to know your contact through the internet.

as An Auditor,Two years ago one of our customer by

name WAYNE JOHNSON a Canadian died in his home in

canada,i was very closed to him because i was the one

managing his account,Wayne deposited in our bank

U.S $21millon in a coded account,he was a Diamond

Dealer,I

have all the details.

Now the Next of Kin of this type of account is not by

name but by code numbers,Wayne was required to give

the 15 digit code number to his next of kin so that

if he

dies,his next of kin will present the code to our

bank

for claims.Two years now after his dead no one has

come forward

for claims and the bank Management has concluded

plans

to share the fund within the Management Cadre of the

bank,the money has now been transfered into Suspense

Account,awaiting the sharing.

I will like to present to you all the details of the

account and all the answers to the question you will

be asked by the bank to confirm that you are the next

of Kin to Late Wayne,I am very sure that we can claim

this fund within ten days if you act as guided,i am

ready to offer you 40% of the fund while i will take

the rest as soon as we succeed.Your Physical presence

in Ghana may not be needed,every transaction will be

by Transfer,this make the business risk free.

WHAT YOU MUST DO:

1)I will give you the Telephone number of my bank so

that you can call the Operation Manager .

2)Tell him that you are LATE WAYNE JOHNSON Next of

Kin

for the amount of USD 21Million,That you will like

the

bank to arrange and transfer the said fund to your

account in Overseas.The bank will demand for the

15digit code numbers then

you will inform the bank that you have the numbers.

3)The bank management will also demand that you

present the deposit Certificate which the bank issued

to MR WAYNE,You will also tell them that you have the

certificate,After this then you get

back to me

BEST REGARDS

Mr.KOJO SULAIMAN
