Subject: I NEED YOU TO WORK WITH ME,
FROM THE DESK OF MR.WILLIAM DOSSOU.
MANAGER BILL AND EXCHANGE DEPARTMENT FOREIGN REMMITTANCE DEPT.
INTERNATIONAL COMMERCIAL BANK LIMTED GHANA.WEST AFRICA.
TELEPHONE;+233-27733-1578.
Dear Friend,
It is my utmost pleasure to send you this confidential message. In my seach
for a reliable business patner overseas, I got your contact in the internet
and was impressed with your profile hence my interest in doing business with
you.
I am Mr.WILLIAM DOSSOU. the manager of Bill and Exchange at the Foreign
Remmittance Department Of (INTERNATIONAL COMMERCIAL BANK LIMTED GHANA) I
discovered an abandoned sum of $15m, Us dollars (Fifteen million US Dollars)
in an account that belongs to one of our foriegn customer who died along
with his entire family on the 21st of April 2000,in a car accident along
Accra / Kumasi express road.and Since we got information about his death, we
have been expecting his next of kin to come over and claim his money because
we can not release it unless somebody applies for it as next of kin or
relation to the decease as indicated in our banking guidlines and laws, but
unfortunately I learnt that all his supposed next of kin or relation died
along side with him at the plane clash leaving no body behind for the claim.
It is therefore upon this discovery that I decided to make this business
proposal to you and to enable the release of the money to you as the next of
kin or relation to the deceased for safety and subsequent disbursement since
nobody is coming for it and I dont want this money to go into the bank
treasury as unclaimed bill.
The banking law and guidline here stipulates that if such money remained
unclaimed after five years, the money will be transfered into the bank
treasure as unclaimed fund. The request of a foreigner as next of kin in
this business is occassioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner
and a Ghanaina cannot stand as next of kin to a foreigner.We will discuss
our sharing percentage as soon as we establish a mutual relationship.After
the tranfer I will visit your country for disbursment according to the
percentages we will decide upon.
Therefore, to enable the immediate transfer of this fund to you as
arranged,I will issue you an specimen of application which you will apply
first to the bank as relation or next of kin of the deceased.in the specimen
of the application you will re-type,fill the necessary information about you
and summit it to the bank which the address will be upon the application.
upon receipt of your reply, i will send to you the application.but at
thesame time i will want you to include to me your telephone and fax number
for our effective communication.Also i will like you to know that we have to
keep this business secret between ourselves.
You can contact me immediately through my E-mail address as soon as you
receive this mail,w_dossou@yahoo.com
GOD BLESS YOU,
Mr.WILLIAM DOSSOU.
