Subject: From Mr. Attah
Dear,
Though I know that a transaction of this magnitude will make any one
apprehensive and worried, but I am assuring you that everything will be well
at the end of the day. We have decided to contact you due to the urgency of
this transaction. Let me start by introducing myself properly to you. I am
Mr. Attah Edwin, an audit officer with Barclays Bank, Accra,Ghana.
THE PROPOSITION:
A Foreigner, a Lebanese, Late Engr.Ahmad Hazim Omer, a merchant with The
Federal Government of Ghana, Formerly working at WIT Watersrand Accra Gold
Mine, Accra, Ghana. Until his death months ago in Kenya Air Bus (A310 -304)
Flight KQ431, He banked with us at Barclays Bank Accra and had a closing
balance as at the end of September, 2002 worth $13,800.000.00 (Thirteen
Million eight hundred thousand United State Dollars),(this is aside the
incurred interest so far from that date).
The bank now expects his next of kin as beneficiary. Valuable efforts are
being made by the Bank to get in touch with any of the Omer's Family or
Relatives but to no success.
It is because of the perceived possibility of not being able to locate any
of Late Engr. Ahmad Hazim Omer's next of kin that we contact you. (He had no
wife or children that is known to us).
The Management under the influence of our Chairman and Members of the
Board of Directors, have been making arrangements to have the fund
declared "Unclaimed" and subsequently be
donated to the trust fund for arms and ammunition acquisition by the
Government, since they(the Government) has control over financial
institutions.
In order to avert this negative development, some of my trusted colleagues
and I now seek your permission to have you stand as next of kin to the late
Engr.Ahmad Hazim Omer so that the fund will be released and paid into your
Account as his next of kin. Your nationality doesn't matter as myself and my
colleagues will work out everything concerning that to suit the purpose.
All documents and proves to enable you get this fund will be carefully
worked out. We have secured from the probate registry, an order of Mandamus
to locate any of the deceased's beneficiary(ies), and more so we are
assuring you that this business is 100% Risk Free.
Your share will be 30% of the total sum while the rest will be for my
colleagues and myself for investment purposes, according to agreement
between both parties.
However, It might interest you to know that you can claim the fund in our
bank's main branch here in Accra Ghana or in our corresponding bank in Spain
or Dubai.
Should you be interested in claiming the money from our correspondent bank
in spain, we have a colleague in that bank who will offer you assistance in
spain and who will be willing to talk with you on phone as soon as possible.
We shall arrange to change the name of the beneficiary in your favor with
our bank and also the Probate Registry of the Government of Ghana.
Kindly indicate your interest to enable us make arrangements to get the
necessary supporting and back up documents that will make you eligible to
claim the fund as his next of Kin.
Please note that for the purposes of confidentiality, all further
correspondeces would be through my email address.Accept my warm regards as
I await your response.
Sincerely,
Attah Edwin
