AUDITING AND ACCOUNTING

DEPARTMENT
INTERNATIONAL COMMERCIAL BANK LTD.
GHANA-WEST AFRICA
TEL/FAX.....+233-21-679018
Compliments,
I am Dr. Julius Margai, the Director in charge of Auditing and Account
Department of International Commercial Bank Accra, in West Africa and also
the Chairman of
Investigating and Auditing Department of this Bank.With due respect and
regard, I have decided to contact you on a business transaction that will be
very beneficial to both of us and our families as well,in this coming new
year
During our investigation and auditing in this Bank,my department came across
a very huge sum of money belonging to one Mr.Morenzo Valentino , an real
estate developer an Italian who died on November 1st 1999 in a plane crash
overseas and the fund has beendormant in his account with this Bank without
any claim of this fund in our custody either from his family or relations
because he did not indicate any next of kin to this account in case of death
such as this.
Although personally, I keep this information secret within myself and
partners to enable the whole plans and idea be profitable and successful
during the time of execution. The said amount is US$5.5M (FIVE Million, Five
hundred Thousand United States Dollars). As it may interest you to know, I
got your impressive information through review on Chamber of Commerce on
foreign business relations here in Accra -
Ghana. Meanwhile as a Senior Staff in this bank, and the Director of
Auditing and Accounting, I have in my possession all the necessary
informations to perfect this
deal by making you the bonafide next of kin whom this money will be
transfered into his 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. 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 35% of the total sum as
gratification, while 5% will be set aside to take care of every expense that
may arise
during the time of the transaction and also telephone bills. While 60% will
be for me and my partners. And we intended to use our own share in building
an orphanage home and sponsoring of charity organization,instead of the
government to claim the fund to their purse.
Please you have been advised to keep "Top Secret" as we are still in Service
and intend to retire from service after we have concluded this deal with
you.
And I assure you that this transaction will not last more than ten working
days and you confirm that the money has been deposited in your account. I
will be monitoring the whole situation here in this bank until you confirm
the money in your account and ask us to come to your country for subsequent
sharing of the fund according to the percentages previously indicated.
All other necessary vital information will be sent to you when I hear from
you. I suggest you get back tome as soon as possible stating your wish in
this deal. I am expecting your urgent reply as soon as you receive this
message.
Yours faithfully,
Dr. Julius Margai
