Subject: URGENT BUSINESS
FROM THE DESK OF DR. JOHN ALHASSAN
AUDITING AND ACCOUNTING MANAGER,
BANK OF GHANA (BOG)
WEST AFRICA.
Dear Friend,
I am the AUDITING AND ACCOUNTING MANAGER BANK OF GHANA WEST AFRICA (BOG)
here in Accra Republic of Ghana. In my department I discovered an abandoned
Sum Of US$9.3m dollars (Nine Million Three Hundred Thousand US DOLLARS)in an
account that Belongs to one of our foreign customer Mr.Morris Thompson,of
Fairbanks, Alaska America who died on January 31st 2000 with Alaska Airlines
Flight 261.You can as well confirm it by yourself through under stated
Website of the incident
http://www.cnn.com/2000/US/02/01/alaska.airlines.list/ and if you want to
know more about the man himself, you can check
http://www.nativefederation.org/history/people/mThompson.html
As the fund has been dormant in his account with this Bank without any claim
of the fund in our custody either from his family or relation because he did
not indicate any next of kin to this account incase of death such as these.
Although personally, I keep this information secret within myself. As it may
interest you to know, I got your impressive information through one of my
good friends who works with Chamber of Commerce on foreign business
relations here in Ghana after a series of praying and fasting though I did
not disclose the deal to him.
Meanwhile as a Senior Staff in this bank, and the Manager of Auditing and
Accounting, I have in my possession all the necessary documents to perfect
this deal by making you the bonafide next of kin/Partner whom this money
will be transferred into your account. I need your assistance and
co-operation to get this deal done. Because as a foreigner, you stand a
better position to be presented through documentation as the next of
kin/Partner since the deceased is also a foreigner,this is the reason why I
could not do this deal alone as a Ghanian and a staff of the bank as well. I
will not fail to inform you that this transaction is 100% risk free. On
smooth Conclusion of this transaction, you will be entitled to 30% of the
total sum as gratification, 5% will be set aside to take care of expenses
that may arise during the time of transfer and also telephone bills, while
65% will be for my investment. Please, you have been advised to keep this
"Top Secret" as I am still in service and intend to retire from service
after I conclude this deal with you.
And I assure you that this transaction will not last more than 10 working
days and you confirm the money in your account. I will be monitoring the
whole situation here in this bank until you confirm the money in your
account. And ask me to come down to your country for subsequent sharing of
the fund according to percentages previously indicated and further
investment,either in your country.All other necessary vital information will
be sent to you when I hear from you. I suggest you get back to me as soon as
possible stating your wish in this deal. I am expecting your urgent reply as
soon as you receive this message. My alternative email:
dr_john_alh1@yahoo.co.in
God bless you And your family.
Best Regards,
Dr. John Alhassan.
