Dear Sir.
I am JONES VIVOUR the director in-charge of auditing
and accounting section 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 a deceased person who died on
November 1997 in a plane crash and 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 before our discovery to this
development. Although personally, I keep 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 of kin to
the deceased, get the required approval and transfer
this money to a foreign account has been put in place
and directives and needed information will be relayed
to 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 raise
an 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 oath to 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
bankaccount. 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 telephone
bills,while 60%will be for me and my
partners.Please,you have been advised to keep top
secret as we are still in serviceand 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.
Yours faithfully,
JONES VIVOUR.
