Greetings to you,
This letter must come to you as a big surprise, but I believe it is
only a day that people meet and become great friends and business
partners. My name is Mr. Douglas Allotey, the present branch Manager of a
bank here in Ghana. I write you this proposal in good faith, believing
that I can trust you with the information I am about to reveal to you.
Like I said, I have a transaction that will benefit both of us, as your
assistance is required as a foreigner.
I use to head the Accounts department in my bank head office, but last
December I was asked to take position of a Manager of our branch in
Kumasi who passed on, so that was how I became the present Manager and
discovered a fortune. As I resumed duty, I discovered an account with
total sum of $12,500,000 million 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
famillies 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 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. I cannot directly take out this money without the help of
a foreigner and that is why I am contacting you for an assistance to
claim the funds and share it with me. 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.
I am seeking your co-operation to present you as the next of kin to the
account, so that my bank head quarters will release the funds to you.
There is practically no risk involved, the transaction will be executed
under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach
of law.
If you accept to work with me, I want you to state how you wish us to
share the funds in percentage, so that both parties will be satisfied.
Contact me as soon as you receive this message if you feel we can work
together, so we can go over the details. Thanking you in advance and
may God bless you. Please, treat with utmost confidentiality.
I wait your urgent response.
Regards,
Mr. Douglas Allotey
