Dear Friend,
Compliments of the day,
I want to solicit your strict confidence in this transaction and I pray that
my decision to contact you will be given a genuine approval considering the
fact that we have not known each other before now.Before Proceeding I feel
quite safe dealing with you in this important transaction.However,this
correspondence is unofficial and private, and it should be treated as such.
I decided to reach you via e-mail because presently i am in desperate need
of a trust worthy foreign person for this proposal. Although this medium is
not proper.I am Mr Jamiu Yusuf, Assistant General Manager, Guaranty Trust
Bank ( Gh.) Limited.One of our high profile patrons a foreign customer Mr.
Morris Thompson, with A/C Number:0661818092,made a numbered time (fixed)
deposit, for twelve calendar months in my bank branch.Upon maturity of his
deposit, we sent a routine notification to his forwarding address but got no
reply. After a month, we sent a reminder and finally discovered that he was
on aboard the Alaska Airlines Flight 261 which crashed on January 31
2000,including his wife and only daughter leaving nobody to claim the money.
You shall read more news about the crash on visiting this site;

The owner of this account Mr. Morris Thompson an American and a great
industrialist and a resident of Alaska. Since the death of this our customer
Mr. Morris Thompson,I have kept a close monitoring of the deposit records
and accounts since then. Nobody has come forward to claim the money in this
A/C as next of kin to the late Mr. Morris Thompson.
After further inquest, it was discovered that the total amount in the
account is US$12.6 million and it is in a domiciliary escrow bank account.
It is only an insider,the account owner or a next of kin who has information
about the account that could produce the Code or password of the deposit
particulars. Also the funds can only be released to a foreigner, As it
stands now, there is nobody in the position to produce the needed
information other than my very self-considering my position in the bank.
Based on the fact that Mr. Thompson's family perished in the same flight
accident,leaving no one to put claim of the deposit as the next of kin, so I
am seeking for your co-operation to present you as the next of kin to late
Mr. Thompson, and arrange for the release of the funds to your honor for our
mutual benefit. If there is more delay in moving this money out, In accord
with the federal banking laws and constitution of my country Ghana, this
money will revert to the ownership of the government and will be pushed to
the Republic Treasury of the Bank of Ghana if nobody applies as the next of
kin to claim the fund.
Consequently, the proposal is this i and my colleague in the foreign
operation/Funds Transfer department of our Bank has resolved to present you
as a foreigner to stand in, as the next of kin to this gentleman, so that
the proceeds of this account can be paid to you, for us to share. Upon
acceptance of this proposal, i shall give you detailed information on how
this deal would be carried out. We shall employ the services of an advocate
for the drafting of the letter of probate in your favor,and to obtain all
other relevant papers in your name for the necessary documentation for
payment endorsement in my bank.
I and my colleague are willing to share this money with you in the ratio
of Seventy percent for me and my colleague, Twenty five percent for you and
five percent will be set aside in case of any arising contingencies or
expenses during the course of this transaction.
Please be informed that your extreme discretion is required. If this
interests you,please reply me and indicate your full name, address date of
birth, your personal contact telephone and fax numbers respectively. Upon
receipt of your response, I will prepare a text of application you will send
to my bank headquarters for payment approval i your favor.
