GOOD DAY
in good faith i contact you
I am Mr.hoffman coley, credit officer of ghana commercial Bank Ltd, accra ghana. I have an urgent and very confidential business proposition for you. On october 15, 1999, our client Mr. Hatem Kamil Abdul Fatah who was the deputy governor of Baghdad in Iraq and also business man made a numbered fixed deposit for 12 calendar months, with a value of twenty three Millions Five Hundred ($23.5million usd)
Thousand United State Dollars only in my branch. Upon maturity several notice was sent to him, even after the war late this year. Another notification was sent and still no response came from him. We later find out that the Governor has been assasinated in Baghdad.
The websites below is a verification of the news about his death:

After further investigation it was also discovered that Mr. Hatem Kamil Abdul Fatah did not declare any next of kin in his official papers including the paper work of his bank deposit. And he also confided in me,last time he was at my office that no one except me knew of his deposit in my bank. According to the ghana Law,under ecowas's foreign and defense affairs,at the expiration of 5 (five) years,such funds will revert to the ownership of the ghanian Government for financing military operations,such as purchasing of arms and ammunitions for the military. In order to avert this negative development,i will like to seek for your permission as a foreigner to stand as the next of kin to Mr. Hatem Kamil Abdul Fatah so that the fruits of this old man's labor will not be use for financing weapons which will further enhance the courses of war in the world in general.
The money will be paid into your account for us to share in the ratio of 60% for me and 30% for you and 10% for Expenses Incurred in the course of the transaction.There is no risk at all as all the paperwork for this transaction will be done by my attorney and with my position as the credit officer guarantees the successful execution of this transaction. If you are interested,please reply immediately. Upon your response, I shall then provide you with more details and that will help you understand the transaction. You should observe utmost confidentiality,and rest assured that this transaction would be most profitable for both of us because I shall require your assistance to invest my share in your country. Awaiting your urgent reply.
Thanks and regards.
Mr.HOFFMAN COLEY.
