Subject: Greeting from Ghana
>From Daniel Mensah
TEL: +233 242182422
Greetings to you,
Before I introduce myself, I wish to inform you that
this letter is not a hoax mail and I urge you to treat
it serious. This letter must come to you as a big
surprise, but I believe it is only a day that people
meet and become great friends and business partners.
My name is Daniel Mensah, the present branch Manager
of a bank here in Ghana. I write you this proposal in
good faith, believing that I can trust you with the
information I am about to reveal to you. Like I said,
I have a transaction that will benefit both of us, as
your assistance is required as a foreigner.
I use to head the Accounts department in my bank head
office, but last December I was asked to take position
of a Manager of our branch in Kumasi who passed on, so
that was how I became the present Manager and
discovered a fortune. As I resumed duty, I discovered
an account with total sum of $12,500,000(Twelve Million Five Hundred
Thousand United States Dollars)
has not been operated on for the past 4 years. From
my investigation, I found out that this account
belongs to one Late Mr. ANDREAS SCHRANNER a German
great industrialist and a resident of Munich, who
unfortunately lost his life along with his entire
famillies in the plane crash of CONCORDE AIRLINE
[Flight AF4590 ] which crashed on 25TH JULY, 2000.
You shall read more news about the crash on visiting
this site, which I got during my investigation;
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/859479.stm.
The account is escrow call account, a secret type of
account in my bank and no other person knows about
this account or any thing concerning it, the account
has no other beneficiary. I have kept a close
monitoring of the account since then and nobody has
come forward to ask about the money as next of kin to
the late Mr. Andreas Schranner, meaning that no one is
aware of the account. I cannot directly take out this
money without the help of a foreigner and that is why
I am contacting you for an assistance to claim the
funds and share it with me. As the Manager of my bank
branch, I have the power to influence the release of
the funds to any foreigner that comes up as the next
of kin to the account, with the correct information
concerning the account, which I shall give you.
I am seeking your co-operation to present you as the
next of kin to the account, so that my bank head
quarters will release the funds to you. There is
practically no risk involved, the transaction will be
executed under a legitimate arrangement that will
protect you from any breach of law.
If you accept to work with me, I want you to state how
you wish us to share the funds in percentage, so that
both parties will be satisfied. Contact me as soon as
you receive this message if you feel we can work
together, so we can go over the details. Thanking you
in advance and may God bless you. Please, treat with
utmost confidentiality. I wait your urgent response.
My phone number is +233 242182422 .
Regards,
Daniel Mensah
