Subject: Good Day......... F. Muller
Dear F. Muller,
I am soliciting for your confidence in this matter,this is by virtue of its nature as being utterly confidential and top Secret.Though I know that a contact of this magnitude will make any one apprehensive and worried,however it is not mandatory nor will I in any manner compel you to honour against your will. I have decided to contact you due to the urgency of this matter.
Let me start by introducing myself properly to you,I am Mr.AYO MIKE,the personal assistance to late Mr.P.O.Muller, who lived and worked in this country as a Federal Government contractor and died some years ago,his wife and their only son involved in an accident here in lome togo.
Since then I have made several enquiries to his embassy to locate any of my clients extended relatives but this has also proved unsuccessful. After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to track his last name over the Internet, to locate any Member of his family hence I contacted you. I have contacted you to assist in repatriating the assets and Capital value left behind by my client before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by
the Ecowa Bank For Investment & Development Accra Ghana West Africa where he made a large deposit.
The said Bank, has issued me a notice to provide the next of Kin or have the account confiscated within the next twenty Official working days. Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over 2 years now,I seek the consent to present you as the Next of kin to the deceased since you have the same last names,so that the proceeds of this account can be paid to you.
He was Banking with Ecowa Bank For Investment & Development Accra Ghana West Africa and had a closing balance as at the end of september,2003 worth $9.5M (Five Million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars).
Now the management under the influence of the Company Chairman and Members of the Board of directors,has made arrangement for the fund to be declared Unclaimed so that they can share the money amongest themselves.In order to avert this negative development you will have to stand as the next of kin to his properties since you bear the same surnames.All documents and proof to enable you get this fund will be carefully worked out by me for this claim.
free.Now it is left for you to decide on what you will give me as my percentage for
I have secured from the probate an order of Mandamus to locate any of the deceased beneficiaries,and more so am assuring you that this claim is 100% risk assisting you in this claim. .
1.Can I give you this trust?
2.What will be my commission?
Lastly i wish to require from you honest cooperation to enable us see this transaction through.My guarantee to you upon this humble transaction is that it will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law.
Hoping to hear from you soon.
Yours Sincerely,
