Subject: YOUR COOPERATION NEEDED.
Dear Sir/Madam,
I will like to solicit your help in a business proposition, which is by nature very confidential and a Top Secret. I know that a transaction of this magnitude will make any one worried and Apprehensive but I am assuring you not to worry, as all will be well at the end of this endeavor.
I am Mr. James moses, Client Service Manager of International Commercial Bank Ghana, My partners and I have decided to seek your help in transfer of some amount of money requiring maximum Confidence from my bank. A foreigner, Late Dr. Edward Marls who was an oil merchant and Contractor with the Government of Ghana until his death on board the ill fated Kenyan Airways bus {A310300} was our customer here at International Commercial Bank and had a balance of US$32 million which the bank now expects his next of kin to claim as the beneficiary .
So far, valuable efforts has been made to get to his people but to no avail, as he had no known relatives more because he left his next of kin column in his account opening forms blank and he has no known relative. Due to this development our management and the board of directors are making arrangements for the funds to be declared unclaimed, returned to Ghana being the point of origin and subsequently paid into the federal government purse. Usually, funds of this nature end up in the greedy pockets of some politicians due to our corrupt society.
To avert this negative development my colleagues and I have decided to look for a reputable person to act as the next of kin to late Dr. Merles so that the funds could be processed and released into his account, which is where you come in. We shall make arrangement with a qualified and reputable able attorney that will represent you in liaising with my bank for in conveniency of you coming to my country.
All legal documents to aid your claim for this fund and to prove your relationship with the deceased will be provided by us. Your help will be appreciated with 20% of the total sum (US$6,400,000). Please accept my apologies, keep my confidence and disregard this letter if you do not appreciate this proposition I have offered you. Thank you very much for your time.
I wait anxiously for your response to my private email: esqjamesmoses4@yahoo.com
Yours faithfully,
James moses
Client Service Manager International Commercial Bank Ghana
