Dear
URGENT INVESTMENT ASSISTANCE OF USD.17.5M.
Greetings to you!
This letter must come to you as a big surprise, but I believe it takes a day to meet a great friend and business partner.
My name is PRINCE STEVE KOSONGA, the present branch Manager of a bank in Accra Ghana.
Honestly, I have a transaction that will benefit both of us,
as your assistance is required as a foreigner. I was the head of the Accounts department in my bank head office in Accra,
but last December I was asked to take position of a Manager in our branch in Kumasi after the passing on of the manager.
This was how I became the present Manager and discovered a fortune. Immediately I resumed duty,
I discovered an account with total sum of ($17,500,000) seventeen million five hundred thousand dollars that has not been operated on for the past 4 years.
From my investigation, I found out that this account belongs to one Late Mr. ANDREAS SCHRANNER a German great industrialist and a resident of Munich,
who unfortunately lost his life along with his entire families in the plane crash of CONCORDE AIRLINE [Flight AF4590], which crashed on 25TH JULY 2000.
You shall read more news about the crash on visiting this site, which I got during my investigation;
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/859479.stm
The account is escrow call account, a secret type of account in my bank and no other person knows about this account or any thing concerning it,
the account has no other beneficiary.
I have kept a close monitoring of the account since then and nobody has responded/come forward to ask about the money as next of kin to the late Mr. Andreas Schranner,
meaning that no one is aware of the account.
As the Manager of my bank branch, I have the power to influence the release of the funds to any foreigner that comes up as the next of kin to the account,
with the correct information concerning the account, which I shall give you.
Currently, I am in Johannesburg South Africa. I have taken a leave to have an ample time to get some trustworthy businessman with repute to come in and accept beneficiary ship/next of kin.
I am willing to give you any percentage that will be acceptable to us and my part will be used in your country for investment under your care as fund manager.
Contact me as soon as you receive this message if you feel we can work together, so we can go over the details.
Please, treat with UTMOST CONFIDENTIALITY.CONTACT ME IN MY JOHANNESBURG NUMBER. +27 83 722 6069.
YOURS SINCERELY,
MR.PRINCE KOSONGA.
