Subject: Can we work together.
Dear Maaike Moynes,
The inspiration to contact you is simply divine providence,i am making this proposition because i have to seek the partnership of a resource person to help me realise this project.
I am Barr.Dan Johnson, an attorney at law and a notary public,based in Ghana.On the 7th of May 2002, my client Mr. Mark Moynes,his wife and their only son were involved in a in a Motor Accident in accra ghana alon kumasi express way in 2002.Unfortunately they all lost their lives in the event of the accident, since then i have made several enquiries to locate any of my clients extended relatives and this has also proved unsuccessful.
After these several unsuccessful attempts to locate any member of his family , hence I contacted you.I contacted you to assist in repatriating the money and property left behind before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by the bank where my client lodged these huge deposits.Particularly, the bank where the deceased had an account valued at about U.S$28.3 million U.S dollars. Consequently, the bank issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have the account confiscated within a short time.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over some years now,I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased since you bear the same surname so that the proceeds of the account valued at U.S$28.3 million can be paid to you for both of us to share the funds; 50% to me and 45% to you, while 5% should be for expenses or tax as your government may require.
I have all necessary legal documents that can be used to backup the claim.
All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us see this deal through. I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law .Please get in touch with me through this my e-mail to enable us discuss further.
As soon as you get back to me,i will provide send you my personal passport and id card,so that you will know who you are dealing with.
Thanks for your kind co-operation.
