Hello Dear,
Permit me to introduce myself to you. My name is Mr.Christopher Nkrumah,
an Accountant working with International Commercial Bank, Accra-Ghana. I
came to know about you in my private email chat for a reliable person/company
to handle an important assignment on behalf of my Colleagues and myself.
Engr. Bob Anderson, a Chemical Engineer and an Oil Merchant here in Ghana,
has the sum of $4.8 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 their
Embassy in Ghana here to contact any of the deceased children, but to no
avail, as we were made to understand he had no children and has long divorced
his wife, many years ago, leaving him a lonely man. Consequently has been
so 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. Bob Anderson,
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. May I assure you that this is safe and 100% risk-free, as we have
taken care of all necessary modalities to ensure a hitch-free transfer of
this fund.
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.
I also have the authority of my partners involved in this assignment to
propose that should you be willing to assist us in this transaction, sincerely
and honestly, your share would be 20% of the entire resulting fund.
I have reposed my confidence in you and hope that you will not disappoint
me, as I look forward to receiving your response soonest through this my
e-mail address or call my personal mobile number +233 243 847 908.
Best Regards,
Mr. Christopher Nkrumah.
