GOOD DAY
in good faith i contact you
I am Mr.hoffman coley, credit officer of ghana commercial Bank Ltd, accra
ghana. I have an urgent and very confidential business proposition for you.
On october 15, 1999, our client Mr. Hatem Kamil Abdul Fatah who was the
deputy governor of Baghdad in Iraq and also business man made a numbered
fixed deposit for 12 calendar months, with a value of twenty three Millions
Five Hundred ($23.5million usd)
Thousand United State Dollars only in my branch. Upon maturity several
notice was sent to him, even after the war late this year. Another
notification was sent and still no response came from him. We later find out
that the Governor has been assasinated in Baghdad.
The websites below is a verification of the news about his death:

After further investigation it was also discovered that Mr. Hatem Kamil
Abdul Fatah 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,last time he
was at my office that no one except me knew of his deposit in my bank.
According to the ghana Law,under ecowas's foreign and defense affairs,at the
expiration of 5 (five) years,such funds will revert to the ownership of the
ghanian Government for financing military operations,such as purchasing of
arms and ammunitions for the military. In order to avert this negative
development,i will like to seek for your permission as a foreigner to stand
as the next of kin to Mr. Hatem Kamil Abdul Fatah so that the fruits of this
old man's labor will not be use for financing weapons which will further
enhance the courses of war in the world in general.
The money will be paid into your account for us to share in the ratio of 60%
for me and 30% for you and 10% for Expenses Incurred in the course of the
transaction.There is no risk at all as all the paperwork for this
transaction will be done by my attorney and with my position as the credit
officer guarantees the successful execution of this transaction. If you are
interested,please reply immediately. Upon your response, I shall then
provide you with more details and that will help you understand the
transaction. You should observe utmost confidentiality,and rest assured that
this transaction would be most profitable for both of us because I shall
require your assistance to invest my share in your country. Awaiting your
urgent reply.
Thanks and regards.
Mr.HOFFMAN COLEY.
