Dear Friend,
I am Dr. Ahmed Banjoko the head of auditing and accounting section of
Prudential Bank Ltd, Ghana in West Africa. With due respect and regard, I
have decided to contact you on a business transaction that will be very
beneficial to both of us at the end of the transaction.
On July 6, 2004, our client Mr. Irvin poot, an Asian businessman, made a
numbered fixed deposit for 6 (six) calendar months, with a value of
US$9.5million only in my branch. Upon maturity several notices was sent to
him and no response came from him. Another notification was sent early
February and still no response came from him. The Bank officially sent
two-man delegate to his residence in Indonesia where he resided only to find
out that the business mogul and his family perished in the Tsunami disaster.
After further investigations, it was also discovered that Mr. Irvin Poot 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 the last time he visited my
office that no one except me knew of his deposit in my bank. So, Nine
Million, Five Hundred Thousand United State Dollars (US$9.5million) is still
lying in my bank and no one will ever come forward to claim it. According to
the laws of my country, at the expiration of Twenty months (1 year8 months)
the funds will revert to the ownership of Ghana Government if nobody applies
to claim the funds. I will like to provide you as a foreigner to stand as
the next of kin to Mr. Irvin Poot to enable you receive the funds. Let’s put
heads together to see how we can transfer these funds out of Ghana as soon
as possible and use it judiciously. I want you to know that this transaction
will be conducted under a legitimate arrangement and I will use my position
in the bank to destroy all the transaction documents as soon as we conclude
this transaction before I come over to your country to invest my share of
the money.
Meanwhile all the whole arrangement to enable you put claim over this fund
as the bonafide next of kin to our deceased customer, get the required
approval and transfer this money to a foreign account has been put in place
and directives and needed information will be relayed to you as soon as you
indicate your interest and willingness to assist me and also benefit your
self to this great business opportunity.
In fact I could have done this deal alone but because of my position in this
country as a civil servant (A Banker),the laws of my country does not allow
civil servants to operate foreign account and would eventually raise an eye
brow on my side during the time of transfer because I work in this bank.
This is the actual reason why it will require a second party or fellow who
will forward claims as the next of kin with affidavit of trust of oath to
the Bank and also present a foreign account where the fund will be
transferred into after due verification and clarification by the
correspondent branch of the bank where the whole money will be remitted from
to your own designated bank account.
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 10% will be set aside to take care of
expenses that may arise during the time of transfer and also telephone
bills, while 55% will be for me. Note that sharing percentage is negotiable
by the two parties. Please, you have been advised to keep it as a "top
secret" as I am still in service and intend to retire from service after I
conclude this deal with you.
I have contacted an Attorney that will prepare the necessary document that
will back you up as the next of kin to Mr. Irvin Poot, all that is require
from you at this stage is for you to provide me with your full names and
Address including your direct phone and fax numbers for my Attorney to
commence his job. My Attorney will also file in for claims on your behalf
and secure the necessary approval and letter of probate in your favor for
the funds to be move to an account that will be provided by you. We are
going to adopt a legalized method and the Attorney will prepare all the
necessary documents and no risk involve.
I will be monitoring the whole situation here in this bank until you confirm
the money in your account and ask me to come down to your country for
subsequent sharing of the fund according to percentages previously indicated
and further investment, either in your country or any country you advice me
to invest in. All other necessary information will be sent to you when I
hear from you. Please reply immediately and give me your phone/fax numbers
for easy communication.
Yours faithfully
Dr Ahmed Banjoko
