Dear Friend,
I know that this mail will come to you as a surprise, please accept the
content in good faith. I do not intend to cause any grief to you and your
family. The reason for sending this mail is very fundamental to the doctrine
of human privileges and right. My name is Barrister Alex Kojo. A legal
practitioner and the personal Attorney to late Mr.Morris Thompson, a
national of America On the 31st of July 2000, my client, his wife and their
two Children died in the Air France concord plane crash bound for New York
in their plan for a world cruise.

I am convinced that it was the grace of God that made me to locate you. My
client was a successful and is an accomplished family man, who made enough
fortune before his untimely death. Since then I had made several inquiries
to locate any of my clients extended relative but this exercise has proved
unsuccessful. My late client was an influential wealthy businessman, an oil
magnet here in Ghana and he left behind a deposit of Five Million six
hundred United States Dollars only($5,600,000.00usd) in his domiciliary bank
account in a International Commercial Bank here in Accra-Ghana. After the
death of my client his bankers contacted me, as his Attorney to provide his
next of kin who should inherit his funds. The board of directors of his bank
adopted a resolution and I was mandated to provide his next of kin for the
payment of this money within 48 working days or forfeit the money to the
bank as abandoned money. The bankers had planned to invoke the abandoned
property decree of 1996 to confiscate the funds after the expiration of the
period given to me.
Fortunately, I came across your contact through an internet search so that I
will make you the Next of Kin irrespective the nationality, colour, race or
even tribe being convinced that you might provide clue to my search, I
therefore, decided to contact you with these facts before me. By virtue of
my clseness to the deceased and his immediate family, I am very much aware
of my client financial standing and the bank account he operates. I have
reasoned very professionally and I feel it will be legally proper to present
you as the next of kin of my deceased client, so that you can be paid the
funds left in his bank account. I therefore seek your consent to present you
as the Next of Kin to the deceased since the establishment of the Next of
Kin are at my advantage, that the proceeds of this Bank Account valued at
$5.6 Million Dollars can be paid to you.
We shall both share the funds. 35% for you and 60% for me, while 5% should
be for Expenses or your Government may require Taxes. I shall assemble the
necessary Legal Documents at my reach that will be used to back up our claim
wth your assistance. All I require is your honest cooperation and utmost
confidentiality to enable us sees this deal through. I guarantee that this
will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from
any breach of law. Thanks
Best regards
Barrister Alex Kojo.
