Dear Friend,
Re- Immediate benefiting Business Proposal
I am Mr. Tony Williams Nkrumah the Head of Audit Department,in International
Commercial Bank Ghana Limited and for reasons which will become obvious
to you as you read on, I obtained your address particulars from an Internet
address List searching. Please exercise patience and read through my message.
I have a very urgent and confidential business proposition for you. On June
6th 2003, a Crude Oil Contractor with the Kuwait National Petroleum Corporation,
Engr. Peter Hoffer , a national of Kuwait, made a numbered time ( fixed)
deposit for 10 banking days,valued the sum of US$10,000,000.00 (TEN MILLION
UNITED STATE DOLLARS ONLY)in my branch.
On maturity, we sent a routine notification to his forwarding address but
got no reply. After a month, we sent a reminder and finally, his contract
employers, the Kuwait National Petroleum Corporation wrote to inform us
that Engr. Peter Hoffer died on an automobile accident; that he died without
making a WILL, and all attempts to trace his next of kin through the Kuwait
embassy were fruitless. I therefore made further investigations and discovered
that Mr. Peter Hoffer. had actively Opposed the Government of his country
Kuwait, and was consequently driven Into exile before his sudden death.
My proposal therefore is that, I am looking for a foreigner who will stand
in as the next of kin to Mr. Peter Hoffer. It is not necessary to be a blood
relation to Mr.Peter Hoffer, nor have the same name. It is not also necessary
to come from the same Country. I have worked out the Modalities to achieve
my aim of appointing a next of kin.
Therefore by this arrangement you will be fronted as the next of kin and
the funds will be transferred to your account abroad for our mutual sharing
abroad. Following the Ghana financial policy any money in such condition
(over3 banking years) will be recovered by the government as an unclaimed
funds which this present funds will elapse its duration next two months.This
is indeed, the situation.
I have mapped out the sharing modalities as thus:
1. 30% of the total sum will be yours, for your assistance.
2. 5% will be set aside for any expenses incurred during the pursue of the
claim and 3. 65% will be for me.
Once I read/hear from you, I will be forwarding to you the legal document
for funds deposition for your legal proves and consequently give you the
bank contacts. Further be rest assured that this is 100% risky free and
will be concluded with 7 banking days.
Do respond immediately by indication the followings if your interested tochampion
out this deal with me.
1* Telephone / Cell Number Dear p/s reply this mail.
2* Fax Number.
3* Your Occupation
4* Your Age & Sex.
Yours Sincerely,
Mr. Tony Williams
