URGENT ATTENTION,
I wish to notify you that I am privileged to peruse over your profile todayI am greatly impressed on your person. I am Mr. Henry Duke the directorin charge of Auditing and Accounting section of Commercial Bank in West Africa [Ghana], and also a special account officer of (Mr.Hassan Asian)from United State of America. He was a Seasoned Contractor with Ghana CementCompany in Ghana. Who unfortunately died in the Plane crash of Union Transport Africans Flight Boeing 727 in Continuo, Benin republic on the December 25,2003.

Before his death on the 25th December 2003, (Mr. Hassan Asian) has a fixed deposit account with the bank and no other person knows about this account or any thing concerning it, the account has no other beneficiary and my investigation proved to me that his supposed next of kin died along with him in the crash, Since then I have made several enquiries to locate any of my clients extended relatives, this has also proved unsuccessful.
After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to search my client last name and contacted you to assist in repatriating the money left behind by my late client before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by the bank.
Consequently, Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over[5] weeks now. I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased so that the proceeds of this account valued at US$9.6 million can be paid to you and then you and me can share the money. 60% for me and 40% for you.
I have all necessary legal documents that can be used to back up any claim we may make. All I require is your honest co-operation 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. All documents of transaction will be destroyed immediately we receive this money leaving no trace to any place.
If this proposal is acceptable to you, kindly email me back so I can inform you of what next to do.
Await your Urgent reply
Sincerely,
Mr.Henry Duke
