Subject: Re: Update!!!
Dear VICTIM-FULLNAME ,
Thank you for your email. I am quite glad that you are willing to work with me on this deal. I assure you that there is no risk to it for either you or me. Please be assured, also, that the deal cannot take more than 10 working days to conclude.
As you already know, the deceased died in testate, thereby creating a problem for both my bank and the bank of Ghana as to where to turn the money to. Normally and in circumstances that are normal, the fund would be turned over to the trust fund for arms and ammunition of the Ghana Army for the furtherance of the course of war. Believe it or not, Ghana has not been in any war since independence; therefore, the fund would end up in the coffers of some sleazy general or the other who couldn't give a rat's ass what happens after that.
To forestall this development, I contacted you with the hope that we will be able to front you as a cousin to the deceased and the sole inheritor to his estate thereby making it possible for the fund to be handed over to you and we will subsequently share it in the ratio afore mentioned. As is the law, if a person dies in testate and there is a claim that can be validated, the estate of the deceased is turned over to the claimant.
To achieve this goal, all we need to do is to get certain back up documents, which will prove that you are related to the deceased and is entitled to the estate. You do not need to worry about the processes of obtaining the said documents as everything has been thought out and well planned. We shall first obtain statements of fact that will proclaim that you are the sole inheritor of the estate. We will also obtain Letters of Administration *since there is no will). We will also obtain approvals from the various ministries and get a copy of the death certificate.
I will send you copies of these documents for your own file. On your part, I need you to send me your full names and address, religion and age and the bank account information that would be used to receive the fund. All this information would be used to obtain the necessary documents and process the transfer of the fund to your account.
As soon as I have this information from you, I shall immediately give them to our Attorney here who will obtain the documents and possibly send them to you. As soon as the documentation process is completed, application for the transfer of the fund will immediately be effected. Please do not worry as we have 100% confident as to the success of the deal.
I would also appreciate it if you could possibly give me your personal / direct phone and fax numbers for easy communication between us. Should you wish, you may call me on telephone number 00233243301516. If there is anything that you do not understand or if you have any questions of any sort concerning this deal, I implore you not to hesitate in asking me.
Once again, I thank you for the confidence you have placed in me and I also have confidence in you. I do sincerely look forward to working with you on this deal and the subsequently doing business with you on a commercial level if such a thing is possible as I would like to have my share of the fund invested. As you may already have guessed, I do not wish for such investment to be here in Ghana or anywhere near Africa for that matter.
Sincerely,
Udongo
