Accra Ghana.
Hello Dear,
Compliments Of The Day,
Permit me to introduce myself to you. My name is Mr.David Appia. ,A Top
Management Official of Ghana Commercail Bank,I came to know about you in
my private email chat for a reliable person/company to handle an important
assingment on behalf of my
Colleagues and myself.
Proposition, A Russian Eng.Alexander Zubakin,a Chemical Engineer and an
Oil Merchant here in Ghana,has the sum of $56 million in our Bank.Unfortunately,
he died in an accident in the oil field a long time ago.
Efforts had been made by the management of my corporation through the russian
Embassy in Ghana to contact any of thedeceased children but to noavail,as
we were made to understand he had no children and has long divorced from
his wife of many years living him a lonely man.
Given the skeletal information available to the corporation, it has so far
been impossible to reach any of the relatives. The situation left for the
Management is to declare the deceased account dormant and revert the Amount
to trading on behalf of the interest of the corporation. In order to avoid
this development, my Colleagues and I now seek
your approval to have you stand as a distant relative to Engr Alexander
Zubakin, so that the money would be released to you,Please do not get us
wrong we are only being ambitious and making adequate use of the opportunity
open to us.
All documents and proofs to enable you get the money will be carefully packaged
once we receive your consent on this proposal. I shall Apply for a leave
as soon as the funds gets into your reliable account to come to your country
for possible sharing and investment opportunity which youwill assist me
in doing. May I assure you that this is safe and risk-free, as we have taken
care of all necessary modalities to ensure a hitch-free movement. I have
the authority of my partners involved in this assignment to propose that
should you be willing to assist us in this,your share would be 20%.
I have reposed my confidence in you and hope that you will not disappoint
me.
As i will only be checking your reply from today.
Best Regards,
Mr.David Appia.
