Subject: COMPLIMENT OF THE DAY ALEX
DEAR FRIEND.
I am the bill and exchange manager of Ghana Commercial Bank. I got your email adress while
searching for trustworthy cuontries and
individuals. I wish to seek your partnership in business because I discovered unclaim fund of $12.6m US dollars in our bank which belonged to one of our late foreign customer who died in September 11 terrorist attack. in the united state.
I discovered this while cross-checking the files of foreigners in my department since our Federal Government has announced on the need of
settling all foreign bills to enable foreign investors come into our country and as an order from African Union.
Since I discovered the unclaim fund and about his death, I have been expecting his next of kin to come over and claim his money because our
bank cannot release it unless somebody applies for it as next of kin or relation to the deceased as indicated in our banking guidelines but
unfortunately I learnt that all his supposed next of kin died alongside with him at the terrorist attack leaving nobody behind for the claim.
upon this discovery I now decided to make this businness proposal to you as to be a partner to claim the fund since nobody is coming for it
and I don’t want this money to go into the Bank's treasury as unclaimed Bill.
The Banking law and guideline here stipulates that if such money remains unclaimed after five years, the money will be transfered into the
Bank treasury as unclaimed fund. The request of foreigner as next of kin in this business is because the customer was not a Ghanian and a
Ghanian cannot stand as next of kin to a foreigner. I agree that 30 % of this money will be for you as foreign partner,
since you are providing an account for the
claim, 10 % will be set aside for expenses incured during the cause of transfering the money into
your account, which means what ever you will spend during the transfer after it will be taken out of
the 10% and 60 % would be for me.
There after I will visit your country for disbursement according to the percentages indicated if agreed.Therefore to enable the immediate trnansfer of this fund to you as arranged, you must apply first to the bank
as relations or next of kin with the informations I will give you about the account and the owner/deceased.
your private telephone and fax number for easy and effective communication and location where in the money will be remitted you will include
all these in the application form which i shall send to you to fill upon my receipt of your next reply indicating your interest.
I will not fail to bring to your notice that this transaction is hitch free you should not entertain any atom of fear as all
required arrangements have been made for the transfer and the file of the fund is under my desk.
Your’s faithfully,
Mensah
