Subject: Business Proposal/ Urgent Attention Needed
Dear Sir/Madam
I am Dr Abel Iguobadia,the Offshore Payment Officer at the Diamond Credit
Bank Gh Ltd and close friend to Late Mr.Mathew from your country.
First, I got your contact address through Internet while searching for a
reputable person whose name concided with the one of Mr Mathew for a deal.
In my files I discovered that my customer abandoned sum of US$18.5 Million
(Eighteen million Five Hundred Thousand United states Dollars) in our bank
DIAMOND CREDIT BANK GHANA LIMITED.
On a record before my department I was made to know that on the 1st of June
2001, him and his family were involved in a car accident along Kumasi-Aburi
Express road. All occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost their lives.
After these several unsuccessful attempts,I decided to trace your name as
his relatives because he is from same country with you.
Since I got information about his death, My office has been expecting his
next of kin to come over and make claim of this money which is currently
deposited in our custody because the international commerical bank Gh Ltd
cannot release it directly to me or any other person unless somebody applies
for the release of it as next of kin to the deceased as indicated in our
mutual agreement (Between THE DECEASED and DIAMOND CREDIT BANK GHANA
LTD),unfortunately his supposed next of kin died along with him at the Fatal
auto crash.
It therefore upon discovery the ugly news that I now decided to make
business with you to direct you on how to apply with this office (Diamond
Credit Bank Gh Ltd) to assist in repatriating the money left behind by my
friend before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by the bank.
The request of a foreigner as next of kin in this business is occasioned by
the fact that my customer was a foreigner and the next of kin died been the
wife died alongside with him and also a citizen of Ghana cannot stand as
next of kin to a foreigner. Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the
relatives for over two year now I seek your consent to present you as the
next of kin of the deceased since you are from the same country so that the
proceeds of this account valued at USD$18.5 million can be paid to you and
then you and l can share the money. 60% to me and 40% to you.
I have two necessary legal documents that can be used to backup any claim we
may make. All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us seeing 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 endeavour to contact me immediately through my private and
confidential Email Address as indicated: abel_igu2002@hotmail.com
Expecting a positive response soonest.
Sincerely yours,
Dr Abel Iguobadia
