DR. ROBERT OBI
TREASURY DEPARTMENT
ECO BANK PLC, ACCRA
REPUBLIC OF GHANA.
EMAIL: robertobi001@yahoo.com
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am DR. ROBERT OBI, Principal treasury officer with Eco Bank Plc of Accra,
Ghana. I got your email contact in my search for a trusted partner who will
assist me with this confidential business proposal.
PROPOSAL
Mr. Adreas B. Smith made a numbered time (Fixed) deposited for twelve
calendar months valued at US$15,000,000.00 (Fifteen Million Dollars) in my
branch. Upon maturity, I sent a routine notification to his forwarding
address but got no reply. After a month, we sent a reminder and finally we
discovered from his contract employers, Ghana Gold Mining Corporation that
Mr. Adreas B. Smith died from an automobile accident. On further
investigation, I found out that he did not leave a WILL and all attempts to
trace his next of kin were fruitless. I therefore made further
investigation and discovered that Mr.Andreas B. Smith did not declare any
next of kin in all his official documents including his Bank Deposit
paperwork. This sum of US$15,000,000.00 is still sitting in the Bank and
the interest is being rolled over with the principal sum at the end of each
year. No one will come forward to claim it.
According to the Ghana Law, at the expiration of 6{Six} years, the money
will revert to the ownership of the Ghanaian Government if nobody applies
to claim the funds. Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you as a
foreigner to stand in as the next of kin to Mr.Adreas B. Smith so that this
money will not be reverted by the government or been claimed by some other
staff in the bank.
This is simple;
1) I shall employ the services of an attorney for drafting and obtain the
necessary documents and letter of probate/administration in your favor for
the transfer.
2) A bank account in any part of the world which you provide, will then
facilitate the transfer of this money to you as the beneficiary/next of kin
to Mr.Adreas B. Smith.
The money will be paid into your account for us to share in the ratio of
75% for me and 20% for you then 5% will be set aside for any expenses that
may occur during the transfer process.
There is no risk at all as all the paperworks for this transaction will be
done by the attorney and my position as the Principal treasury officer
guarantees the successful execution of this transaction. If you are
interested, please reply immediately via my private EMAIL:
robertobi001@yahoo.com Upon your response, I shall then provide you with
more details and relevant documents that will help you understand.
Please observe utmost confidentiality and rest assured that this
transaction would be most profitable for both of us because I shall require
your assistance to invest my share in your country.
Awaiting your urgent reply.
Thanks and regards
DR. ROBERT OBI
