Good day My Good friend,
Having obtained your contact from the internet that you deserve trust,coupled with my deep interest to invest in yourcountry, I decided to contact and solicit your mutual assistance at all cost.
I am Dr.Morgan Peter Kufuor, Branch Manager, First National Bank of Ghana. On January 31th 2000, one Mr. MorrisThompson,a consultant/contractor with Gardiner & Theobald,a leading firmof project and cost management consultants, made a numbered time (Fixed)Deposit, valued at $35,500,000.00 (Thirty Five Million,Five Hundred Thousand United State Dollars) for twelve calender months in my Bank Branch. Upon Maturity, we sent a routine notification to his forwarding address but got no reply. After a month, we sent a reminder and finally we discovered from his contract employers (Gardiner &Theobald) that Mr. Morris Thompson died from an automobile accident. On further investigation, it was discovered that he died without making a WILL and all attempts to trace his next of kin was fruitless.
It was discovered that Late Mr. Morris Thompson did not declare any next of kin or relations in all his official documents,including his Bank Deposit paper work here at the Bank.The total sum,$35,500,000.00 is still in my bank and the interest is being rolled over with the principal sum at the end of each year. No one has ever come forward to claim it.In accordance with the Federal banking Laws and constitution, at the expiration of 6 (Six) years, the money will revert to the ownership of the Government if nobody applies as the next of Kin to claim the funds.
Consequently, I shall present you as a foreignpartner to stand in as the next of kin to late Mr. Morris Thompson sothat you and I can benefit from the fruits of this old man's labour.Upon acceptance of this proposal, I shall send to you the First National Bank of Ghana 'Next of Kin Payment Application Form' as well as detailed information on how this deal would be transacted. We shall employ the services of a solicitor for the drafting of the LAST WILL &TESTAMENT of Late Mr. Morris Thompson and to obtain all other relevantpapers in your name for the necessary documentations for payment approval in my bank headquarters in your favour. The money will be shared in the ratio:60:35:5 .Sixty percent for me, thirty five percentfor you and five percent for any arising contigencies during the course of this transaction.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 positi!
on as the Bank's Branch Manager to secureapprovals and guarantee the Successful execution of this transaction.
Please be informed that your utmost confidentiality is required. If this interests you, please reply me immediately and please include your private telephone number for voice contact and fax number so I can provide you with more details and relevant documents that will help you understand the transaction.
Awaiting your urgent reply.
Thanks.
Best regards,
Dr.Morgan Peter Kufuo
