Dear Sir,
I wish you happy New Year 2006. Please kindly make out time and go through
this important message, as I am soliciting for your humble and confidential
assistance at all cost for my deep interest to work with you. I am Dr.
Johnson T. Kwame, Manager, Corporate Banking; Barclays Bank of Ghana Ltd.
You were recommended to me by a good friend of mine, who believes that you
are capable to handle this transaction carefully.
On February 6th 1998, one Mr. Mohamed Kamal Yasser, an Egyptian National, a
consultant/contractor with Gardiner & Theobald, a leading firm of project
and cost management consultants, made a numbered time (Fixed) Deposit,
valued at USD15, 000,000.00 (Fifteen Million, US Dollars) for twelve
calendar months at the head office, (My Branch). Upon maturity, we sent a
routine notification to his forwarding address but got no reply. After a
month, we sent another reminder and finally we discovered from his contract
employers (Gardiner & Theobald) that Mr. Mohamed Kamal Yasser died from air
disaster in October 31st, 1999. On further investigation, it was discovered
that he died without making a WILL and all attempts to trace his next of kin
was fruitless.
Please go through this website to confirm his death.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/631789.stm or
http://www.cnn.com/US/9911/02/egyptair990.list/index.html
On further investigations, it was discovered that Late Mr. Mohamed Kamal
Yasser did not declare any next of kin or relations in all his official
documents, including his Bank Deposit paper work. The total sum,
$15,000,000.00 is still in the branch and the interest is being rolled over
at the end of each year and the total amount in his account now amounts to
$17,500,000.00 and since then, No one has ever come forward to claim this
amount. In accordance with the Banking Federal Laws and constitution, at the
expiration of 5 (five) years notice, the money will revert to the ownership
of the Government if nobody applies as the next of Kin to claim the funds
and if you can check, it is now more than five years, although I have used
my position to cover and protect the funds.
Consequently, I shall present you as a foreign partner to stand in as the
next of kin, associate or relation to late Mr. Mohamed Kamal Yasser and the
funds will be approved and transferred to your bank account and this could
enhance humanitarian organization in your Country. Upon acceptance of this
proposal, I shall commence the processing of the funds into your account and
all documentations will be provided. The money will be shared in this ratio:
60% for me and my colleagues, 30% for you and the remaining 10% will be
set-aside to cover any expenses on both sides. I guarantee that this will be
executed under legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach
of the law, as I will use my position in the Bank to secure government
approvals and guarantee the successful execution of this transaction. It
will take us only 14 working days to conclude this transaction.
Be informed that your utmost confidentiality is required. If this interests
you, please reply me immediately via my private email address and phone
numbers below. You should please include your private phone number for voice
contact and fax number so that I can provide you with more details and
relevant documents that will help you understand the transaction better.
You can call me on my direct telephone number: +233-24-2750803 or send email
to: jtkwame@yahoo.com for more details.
I will stop here until I hear from you.
Yours sincerely
Johnson T. Kwame
