Greetings to you,
Before I introduce myself, I wish to inform you that this letter is not
a hoax mail and I urge you to treat it serious. This letter must come
to you as a big surprise, but I believe it is only a day that people
meet and become great friends and business partners.
My name is Mr. Peter Adjei, the present branch Manager of a bank here
in Ghana. I write you this proposal in good faith, believing that I can
trust you with the information I am about to reveal to you. Like I
said, I have a transaction that will benefit both of us, as your
assistance is required as a foreigner.
I use to head the Accounts department in my bank head office, but last
December I was asked to take position of a Manager of our branch in
Kumasi who passed on, so that was how I became the present Manager and
discovered a fortune. As I resumed duty, I discovered an account with
total sum of $12,500,000 million that has not been operated on for the
past 4 years. From my investigation, I found out that this account
belongs to one Late Mr. Morris Thompson an American great industrialist
and a resident of Alaska, who unfortunately lost his life in the plane
crash of Alaska Airlines Flight 261 which crashed on January 31 2000,
including his wife and only daughter. You shall read more news about
the crash on visiting this site which I got during my investigation;
http://www.cnn.com/2000/US/02/01/alaska.airlines.list/ and
http://www.nativefederation.org/history/people/mThompson.html
The account is escrow call account, a secret type of account in my bank
and no other person knows about this account or any thing concerning
it, the account has no other beneficiary. I have kept a close
monitoring of the account since then and nobody has come forward to ask
about the money as next of kin to the late Mr. Morris Thompson, meaning
that no one is aware of the account.
I cannot directly take out this money without the help of a foreigner
and that is why I am contacting you for an assistance to claim the
funds and share it with me. As the Manager of my bank branch, I have
the power to influence the release of the funds to any foreigner that
comes up as the next of kin to the account, with the correct
information concerning the account, which I shall give you. I am
seeking your co-operation to present you as the next of kin to the
account, so that my bank head quarters will release the funds to yous.
There is practically no risk involved, the transaction will be executed
under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of
law.
If you accept to work with me, I want you to state how you wish us to
share the funds in percentage, so that both parties will be satisfied.
Contact me as soon as you receive this message if you feel we can work
together, so we can go over the details. Thanking you in advance and
may God bless you. Please, treat with utmost confidentiality. I wait
your urgent response.
You can as well contact me by my phone number, +233208216645.
Regards,
Mr. Peter Adjei
