Sir,
I am Mr.David Oscar , one of the Directors in charge
Of Auditing and
Accounting section Ghana Commecial Bank.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 T hompson 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
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
foreignChamber 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

Best regards
David Oscar
