Subject: Hello Dear
Urgent Asistance
I am KOFFI OFORI,the director in-charge of auditing
and accountingsection of commercial bank Ghana in West Africa with
due respect and regard.Ihave decided to contact you on a business
transaction
that will be very beneficial to both of us at the end of the
transaction. During our investigation and auditing in this bank,
my department came across a very huge sum of money
belonging to adeceased person who died on November 1997 in a plane
crash and the fund has been dormant in his account with this bank without
anyclaim
of the fund in our custody either from his family or relation before
our discovery to this development. Although personally,
Ikeep this information secret within myself and my
partners to enable the whole plans and ideas be profitable and Successful
during the time of execution. the said amount was US$ 14M(fourteen
million Dollars).United States Meanwhile,all the whole arrangements to put
claims over this fund as the bonafide next
ofkin to the deceased, get the required approval and
transfer this money to aforeign account has been put in place and
directives and needed information will be relayedto you as soon as you
indicate your interest and willingness to assist us and also benefit
yourself to
this great business opportunity. Infact I could havedone this
deal alone but because of my position in this country as a civil servant,
we are not allowed to operate a foreign account and
would eventually raisean eye brow on my side during the time of
transfer because I work in this bank.this is the actual reason why it will
require a second party or fellow who will forward claims as the next of kin
with
affidavit of trust and oathto the bank and also present a foreignaccount
where he will need the money to be re-transfered into on his request as it
may be
after due verification and clarification by the correspondent branch of the
bank where the whole money will be remitted from to your own designated
bank account.
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 thetotal sum as gratification, while 10% will be set
aside to take care of the expenses that may arise during the time of
transfer and also telephonebills,while 60%will be for me and my
partners.
Please,you have been advised to keep top secret as we
are still inserviceand intend to retire from service after we
conclude this deal with you. I will be monitoring the whole situation
here in this bank until you confirm the money in your account and
ask us to come down to your country for subsequent sharing of the fund to
percentages previosly indicated and furtherinvestment,
either in your country or any country youadvice us to
invest in. All other necessary 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. Please do send reseponse to this mail
box(koffiofori2005@yahoo.com)
