Hello Dear,
My name is Mr. Nkrumah Christopher, 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 I.
Engineer Peter Scrolls, a Chemical Engineer and an Oil Merchant here in
Ghana, has the sum of $6.8 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. The situation left for
the Management is to declare the deceased account dormant and redirect 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 Engineer Peter Scrolls, 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.
Best Regards,
Mr. Nkrumah Christopher
