Sir,
I am Mr.Smith james, one of the Directors in charge Of Auditing and Accounting section Ghana Credit Commerce Bank in West Africa and also Chairman of Investigating and Auditing Department of this Bank.
With due respect and regard, I have decided to contact you on a
Business Transaction that will be very beneficial to both of us
and our families in future.
During our Investigation and Auditing in this Bank, my department came across a very huge sum of money belonging to one Deceased Mr.Morris Thompson 61 years,of Fairbanks, Alaska America who died on January 31st
2000 with Alaska Airlines Flight 261. You can as well confirm it by yourself through under stated Website of the incident
http://www.cnn.com/2000/US/02/01/alaska.airlines.list/
As the fund has been dormant in his account with this Bank without any claim of the fund in our custody either from his family or relation because he did not indicate any next of kin to this account incase of death such as these.
The said amount is U.S $26. (Twenty six Million, United States Dollars). As it may interest you to know,I got your impressive information through one of my good friends who works with the foreign Chamber of Commerce
here in Accra-Ghana though I did not disclose the deal to him.
Meanwhile as a Senior Staff in this bank, and the Director of
Auditing and Accounting, I have in my possession the certificate of deposit for this fund which you will present as the bonafide next of kin whom this money will be transfered in his favour
I need your assistance and co-operation to get this deal done. Because as a foreigner, you stand a better position to be presented through documentation as the next of kin/Partner since the deceased is also a foreigner, this is the reason why I could not do this deal alone as a Ghanaian and a Blackman as well.
I will not fail to inform you that this transaction is 100% risk
free. On smooth Conclusion of this transaction, you will be
entitled to 35% of the total sum as gratification,while 1% will
be set aside to take care of expenses that may arise during the
time of transfer and also telephone bills, while 64%will be for
me and my partners.Please, you have been advised to keep this "Top
Secret" as we are still in service and intend to retire from service
after we conclude this deal with you. And I assure you that this
transaction will not last more than 10 working days and you
confirm the money in your account. I will be monitoring the whole situation here in this bank until you confirm the money in your account.
Please get in touch to enable me relate furthe:smithjames@postiloota.net
Best regards
Smith james
