FROM DR. AMAKPA SAPONG
NEW MERIDIAN BANK
68 KWAME NKRUMAH ROAD
ACCRA- GHANA
Dear,
I am DR.Amakpa Sapong, the Legal Adviser to NEW
MERIDIAN BANK GHANA LIMITED,and close friend to Late
Mr. Mathew Hiteshp,from your country.
First, I got your contact address through YOUR COUNTRY CHAMBER OF COMMERNCE WEBSITE DIRECTORY.
In my files I discovered that my customer abandoned sum of(Eighteen million Five Hundred Thousand United states Dollars) in our bank NEW MERIDIAN BANK GHANA LIMITED.
On a record before my department I was made to know that on the 1st of June 2003, him and his family were
involved in a car accident along Kumasi-Aburi Express road. All occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost
their lives.
After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to trace your name as his relatives because he is from
same country with you. Since I got information about his death, My office has been expecting his next of
kin to come over and make claim of this money which is currently deposited in our custody because the N.M.B cannot release it directly to me or any other person unless somebody applies for the release of it as next of kin to the deceased as indicated in our mutual agreement (Between THE DECEASED and the NEW MERIDIAN BANK MANAGEMENT),unfortunately his supposed nextof kin died along with him at the Fatal auto crash.
It therefore upon discovery the ugly news that I now decided to make business with you to direct you on how to apply with this office (NEW MERIDIAN BANK)to assist in repatriating the money left behind by my friend before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by the bank. The request of a foreigner as next of kin in this business is occasioned by the fact that my customer was a foreigner and the next of kin died been the wife died alongside with him and also a citizen of Ghana cannot stand as next of kin to a foreigner.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over two year now I seek your consent to
present you as the next of kin of the deceased since you are from the same country so that the proceeds of
this account valued at (Eighteen million Five Hundred Thousand United states Dollars)can be paid to you and then you and l can share the money. 60% to me and 40% to you, I have two necessary legal documents
that can be used to backup any claim we may make.
All require is your honest cooperation to enable us seeing this deal through. I guarantee that this will
be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law.
Expecting a positive response soonest.
Sincerely yours,
Dr. Amakpa Sapong.
