Dear Friend,
I am Mr Nelson Cole ,a personal assistant to Late Mr Alex Jones here in Ghana
who was my boss till his untimely death. My Boss worked as an independent
contractor with the Shell Development Company here in
Accra-Ghana.
On the 21st of April 2003 my Boss, his wife and their only daughter were
involved in a car accident along Tema express Motor way road and all occupants
of the vehicle unfortunately lost there lives. Since then I have made several
enquiries to locate any of my client's extended relatives this has also proved
unsuccessfull.
I have contacted you to assist in repartrating Fund valued at Six Million,five
hundred thousand Euros only (6,500,000.00 Euros)left behind by my client
with the International Commercial Bank (ICB) here in Ghana before it gets
confisicated or declared unserviceable by the Bank where this fund was deposited
as above. The Manager of the Bank contacted me and asked that I, as the Personal
assistant should present either his cousins or his next of kin so that they
will release the sum of 6.5million Euros left in their custody by him to
them or the fund will be confisicated.
Ever since then, I have made several attempts to locate any of his cousins
or next of kin so that they will come forward to put in claims to the said
fund but unfortunately I discovered that in all his files with my chambers
he never metioned having anyone as his next of kin. And I have made several
attempts to trace any of his relative all to no avail, hence I contacted
you.
One fact remains clear,that anybody I present to the Bank as his next of
kin shall inherit the money and it is based on this fact that I ask you for
an assistance. On that we both will discuss on terms of partnership in this
issue so that I will forward your informations to the International Commercial
Bank as his legitimate next of kin backed
up with a Sworn Affidavit Of Oath from the Federal High Court of Justice
here in Ghana and a Letter Of Authority which will be obtained here too.
Be advised that this transaction is 100% risk-free as this transaction will
remain sealed for life at the conclusion which will not take more than seven
working days to conclude.
I await your immediate response so that I will give you a more comprehensive
detail as regards to this transaction.
With Regards,
Mr Nelson Cole
