Subject: hello friend
Dear sir,
I am collins shand, the manager of { F.S.B.
INTERNATIONAL BANK } here in Accra.
I am very happy and confidence to communicate with you
on this very urgent and confidential issue after going
through your company’s introductions and
recommendation by Ghana chamber of commerce and
industry. Though I did not tell them the nature of
business I want to transact with you, due to the kind
of confidentiality it required. Like I told you early,
I am the manager of FSB international bank, and we
have a customer here in this bank, Mr. Raner Weber
from germany who is a contractor to our Federal
Government. And Mr. Weber had about $19 million us
dollars with my bank before he died last two years in
an automobile accident that claimed his life
instantly. Under normal banking policy here in Ghana,
the only authorized person that will claim his fund
will be the person he submitted to us as his next of
kin. We have waited for two years after the death of
Mr. R. Weber, for his next of kin or any member of his
family to come but to no avail. Meanwhile, the board
of directors of this bank have generally agreed that
this fund will be shared to charity organization of
which I have being instructed to do that as the
Manager. My sending you this mail is to assist us, I
myself the manager and my colleagues, who is also the
financial controller in this bank by providing an
account where this money will be transferred into as
if you have come as Mr. Raner Weber’s next of kin. We
will take care of every necessary documentation that
will back your claim as you must understand that I am
the very person who wills also approve the payment. My
colleagues and I have agreed to give you 30% of the
total money, if you can assist us on this business.
All you need to do is to provide an account where this
money will be transferred, your name, telephone and
fax number for our effective communication. Other
things will be done.
This business is very genuine and risk free, only if
you can understand with sincerity and trust. I believe
that you cannot betray us when finally we transfer
this money into your account. Finally, it will only
take us a working days to conclude this transaction
from the day I receive your acceptance letter with
your account details, and I will like you to reply
this mail through my personal e-mail address:
collins_shand@mail.com;for security purpose and for
the accurate monitoring of this money. While waiting
for your urgent reply, I say God bless.
Yours faithfully
Mr.collins shand
