Subject: From Mr.Joseph Bako
SIR,
I AM A STAFF IN THE ACCOUNT MANAGEMENT SECTION OF A KNOWN FINANCIAL ESTABLISMENT IN GHANA. THERE IS AN ACCOUNT OPENED
IN THIS BANK IN 1998 BY A GREAT LATE (INDUSTRIALIST) AND HE DIED IN THE YEAR 2000 IN AEROPLANE CRASH WITHOUT A WRITTEN OR ORAL WILL AND SINCE 2000 NOBODY HAS OPERATED ON THIS ACCOUNT AGAIN.
BEFORE MY DISCOVERY TO THIS DEVELOPMENT,THERE WAS NO
TRACE OF CLAIM FROM ANY PERSON AS THE FUND REMAINS
DORMANT IN HIS ACCOUNT WITH THIS BANK.
ALTHOUGH,I KEPT THIS INFORMATION SECRET WITHIN MY
JURISDICTION TO ENABLE ME PUT CLAIMS AND TRANSFER THE
SAID AMOUNT THROUGH A TRUSTWORTHY FRIEND OVERSEAS
WHOM I SHALL PRESENT TO THE BANK AS THE BONA FIDE
NEXT-OF-KIN TO THE DECEASED.
INFACT,I COULD HAVE DONE THIS ALONE BUT BECAUSE
WE CIVIL SERVANTS ARE NOT LEGALLY ALLOWED TO OPERATE
FOREIGN ACCOUNT.AND IT WOULD EVENTUALLY RAISE EYE
BROWS ON MY SIDE DURING THE TIME OF TRANSFER, BECAUSE
I AM STAFF OF THE BANK.THESE ARE THE ACTUAL
REASONS I CONTACT YOU AS FOREIGN PARTNER WHO WILL
FORWARD CLAIMS BY MY DIRECTIVES AS THE BONA FIDE/
NEXT-of kin
WITH GHANA'S COURT AFFIDAVIT OF CLAIM TO THE BANK
AND ALSO PRESENT A FOREIGN BANK ACCOUNT WHERE THE
MONEY WILL BE RE-TRANSFERED INTO. MEANWHILE,ALL THE
ARRANGEMENT TO PUT CLAIMS AS THE BONA FIDE
NEXT-OF-KIN
TO THE DECEASED,TO GET THE REQUIRED APPROVAL AND
TRANSFER OF THIS MONEY TO A FOREIGN ACCOUNT HAS BEEN
PUT IN PLACE.
THE DIRECTIVES AND THE NEEDED INFORMATION WILL BE
RELAYED TO YOU AS SOON AS YOU INDICATE YOUR INTEREST
AND WILLINGNESS IN THIS BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY.
THE TOTAL AMOUNT INVOLVED IS $46,230,000,00 (FOURTY-SIX MILLION TWO HUNDRED AND THIRTY THOUSAND USD) WE WISH TO START THE FIRST TRANSFER WITH $12 MILLION USD AND OPEN SUCCESSFUL TRANSACTION WITHOUT ANY DISAPPOINTMENT FROM YOUR SIDE, WE SHALL RE-APPLY FOR THE TRANSFER OF THE REMAINING BALANCE TO YOUR ACCOUNT.
ON CONCLUSION OF THIS TRANSACTION,YOU WILL BE
ENTITLED TO 30% OF THE TOTAL SUM AS GRATIFICATION.10%
OF THE TOTAL SUM WILL BE USED TO REIMBURSE EXPENSES
THAT MIGHT ARISE FROM TELEPHONE BILLS AND OTHER
EXPENSES DURING THE TRANSACTION,WHILE 60% WILL BE FOR
ME AND MY ASSISTANT IN THE OFFCE WHO KNEW ABOUT THE MONEY.
PLEASE YOU HAVE BEEN ADVICED TO KEEP TOP SECRET AS
I'M STILL IN SERVICE AND INTEND TO RETIRE FROM
SERVICE AFTER WE CONCLUDE THIS DEAL. I WILL
BE MONITORING THE WHOLE SITUATION HERE IN THIS
BANK UNTIL YOU CONFIRM THE MONEY IN YOUR ACCOUNT.
I'LL THEN COME FOR SUBSEQUENT SHARING
OF THIS FUND ACCORDING TO THE PERCENTAGES PREVIOUSLY
INDICATED AND FOR INVESTMENT.
ALL OTHER NECESSARY 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 BUSINESS. ALSO YOU CAN FORWARD YOUR PRIVATE TEL AND FAX NUMBER FOR SPEEDY RELATION AND VOICE CONTACT,I AM EXPECTING YOUR REPLY ON joseph_bako55@excite.com <mailto:joseph_bako55@excite.com>
