FROM THE DESK OF FRANK KWAME
INTERNATIONAL COMMERCIAL BANK
ACCRA, GHANA.
I am MR FRANK KWAME, Deputy General Manager(Credit
Controls)with International Commercial Bank Ghana.
Few years ago a Citizen of your country, Late Mr.
Powel Robyn, Petrochemical Engineering Consultant with
Eleme Petrol-Chemical Co. Accra Region.
Mr. Powel Robyn, was involved in ADC plane crash on
November 2002, operating a domiciliary account with us
and had a closing balance as at the end of September
2003 amounting to $18,500.000.00 (Eighteen Million Five
Hundred Thousand, United States Dollars Only), the
bank now expects a next of kin as beneficiary to no
avail. Valuable efforts have been made by the Bank to
locate any of late family as beneficiary to his
estates without success.
Dear Friend, it is because of the perceived
possibility of not being able to locate any of Late
Mr. Powel's relative, since he died along with his
wife and their only daughter in the unfortunate crash
and left no relative(s) that is known to the bank.
Consequently, the chairman and the Board of Directors
are planning to declare the fund Unclaimed and
transfer it to special trust fund for purchase of arms
and ammunition for ECOMOG soldiers in Sierra Leone and
Liberia zones in the East Africa sub-Regions.
In other to avert this negative development, I now
seek your permission to have you stand as relative to
the estate of late Mr. Powel, so that the fund $18,
500.000.00 Million will be released and paid into
your Account as beneficiary and relative. I will help
to arrange all documents and proof to enable us get
this fund out. I am however assuring you that this
transaction is risk free.
Once the fund is Transferred into your account, you
will be entitle to 50% while 50% will be my share, you
will as a matter of trust assist in investing my share
in a profitable business venture. As soon as I receive
your acceptance in principle, I will furnish you with
the necessary modalities for commencement.
Finally, I am relying in my confidence in you, having
opened up to you, if however you are not interested,
please feel free to destroy this information if it did
not meet willing and committed.
Yours Sincerely,
MR. FRANK KWAME
Deputy General Manager
(Credit Controls)
International Commercial Bank Ghana.
