Subject: YOUR ASSISTANCE IS NEEDED URGENTLY
ATTN:SIR/MADAM
I write with honest and respect. I am Mr.Mohammed Said a Ghanaian working as
an auditor with one of the international bank here in Ghana,
Two years ago one of our customer by name MARK CURTIS a Canadian died in his
home in Canada, I was very closed to him because I was his Account officer,
Mark deposited in our bank U.S$12m in a coded account, he was a Diamond
Dealer, I have all the details.
Now the Next of Kin of this type of account is not by name but by code
numbers,Mark was required to give the 15 digit code number to his next of
kin so that if he is no where to be found in case of death,his next of kin
will present the code to our bank for claims.Two years now after his death
no one has come forward for claims and the bank Management has concluded
plans to share the fund within the Management Cadre of the bank,the money
has now been transfered into Suspense Account, awaiting the sharing or if
his next of kin will show face.
I will like to present to you all the details of the account and all the
answers to the question you will be asked by the bank to confirm that you
are the next of Kin to Late Mark,I have the full confident that we will
claim this fund within ten days if you act as guided,I am ready to offer
you 40% of the fund while I will take the rest as soon as the fund is
transfer into your account.Your Physical presence in Ghana may not be
needed,every transaction will be by Transfer,this make the business risk
free.But if you want top come,it is better and you are wellcome to our
Bank.The request of a foreigner as next of kin in this business is
occassioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner and a Ghanaian
cannot stand as next of kin to a foreigner
WHAT YOU MUST DO:
1)I will give you the Telephone number of my bank so that you can call the
Remittance Manager .
2)Tell him that you are LATE Mark Curtis Next of Kin for the amount of
USD12Million,That you will like the bank to arrange and transfer the said
fund to your account in Overseas.The bank will demand for the 15digit code
numbers then you will inform the bank that you have the numbers.
3)The bank management will also demand that you present the deposit
Certificate which the bank issued to late Mr.Mark Curtis,You will also tell
them that you have the certificate,After this then you get back to me for
the informations.As a matter of facts,I hope you will not betray me when
the fund is paid to you.
Send to me your private Telephone numbers to enable me have a word with you.
Kind regards,
MR.MOHAMMED SAID
