Subject: ENQUIRY
FROM: MR HENRY HODSON.
AUDITING AND ACCOUNTING UNIT.
FOREIGN OPERATIONS DEPARTMENT.
INTERNATIONAL COMMERCIAL BANK.
ALTERNATIVE E-AMIL: hehods1000@yahoo.de
REQUEST FOR URGENT CONFIDENTIAL BUSINESS PROPOSAL OF $10,500,000.00.
Attn. Sir
I am Mr.Henry Hodson, the Director in charge of Auditing and Accounting section
International Commercial Bank in West Africa and also Chairman of Investigating
and Auditing Department of this Bank. With due respect and regard, I have
decided to contact you on a Business Transaction that will be very beneficial
to both of our families and us in future.
During our Investigation and Auditing in this Bank, my department came across
a very huge sum of money belonging to one Deceased Mr.Morris Thompson 61years,
of Fairbanks, Alaska America who died on January 31st 2000 with Alaska Airlines
Flight 261.You can as well confirm it by yourself through under stated Website
of the incident: http://www.cnn.com/2000/US/02/01/alaska.airlines.list/ Mr.Morris
Thompson, a foreigner, As the fund has been dormant in his account with this
Bank without any claim of the fund in our custody either from his family
or relation because he did not indicate any next of kin to this account encase
of death such as these.
Although personally, I keep this information secret within myself and partners
to enable the whole plans and idea be profitable and successful during the
time of execution. The said amount is U.S $10.5m (Ten Million five hundred
thousand United States Dollars). As it may interest you to know, I got your
impressive information through one of my good friends who works with Chamber
of Commerce on foreign business relations here in Accra-Ghana though I did
not disclose the deal to him. Meanwhile as a Senior Staff in this bank, and
the Director of Auditing and Accounting, I have in my possession all the
necessary documents to perfect this deal by making you the valid next of
kin/Partner whom this money will be transferred into your account.
I need your assistance and co-operation to get this deal done. Because as
a foreigner, you stand a better position to be presented through documentation
as the next of kin/Partner since the deceased is also a foreigner, this is
the reason why I could not do this deal alone as a Ghanaian and a Blackman
as well. I will not fail to inform you that this transaction is 100% risk
free. On smooth conclusion of this transaction, you will be entitled to 35%
of the total sum as gratification, while 1% will be set aside to take care
of expenses that may arise during the time of transfer and also telephone
bills, while 64% will be for me and my partners.
Please, you have been advised to keep this a "Top Secret" as we are still
in service and intend to retire from service after we conclude this deal
with you. And I assure you that this transaction will not last more than
10 working days and you confirm the money in your account. I will be monitoring
the whole situation here in this bank until you confirm the money in your
account. And ask us to come down to your country for subsequent sharing of
the fund according to percentages previously indicated and further investment,
either in your country or any country you advice us to invest in.
All other necessary vital information will be sent to you when I hear from
you. I suggest you get back to me as soon as possible stating your wish in
this deal. I am expecting your urgent reply as soon as you receive this message.
Please you can call my private mobile[+233-243-167-657]
Best Regards,
Mr.Henry Hodson.
