Subject: DEAR FRIEND, PLEASE READ AND CONFIRM YOUR INTEREST !!
From; Mr. Michael Annan
International Commercial Bank,
Accra-Ghana.
Dear Friend,
I wish this very information will not come to you as a surprise. I am Mr.
Michael Annan, with accounts department, International Commercial Bank with
regional office in Accra-Republic of Ghana. We had a foreign client and a
businessman by profession, (Mr. Gerald Welsh) who deposited the sum of
US$7.5million (Seven Million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars)
with our bank. Unfortunately, this our client was among the victims of Egypt
Air Flight 990 that crashed on the 31-10-1999 in USA. Confirmable from the
website;
http://www.cbc.ca/story/news/?/news/1999/11/01/passengers991101
http://www.cnn.com/US/9910/31/egyptair.03/
But, since that year after the death of our client, we have not had anybody
that comes for the claim of this money as the second next of kin to our
client, since his wife whom he made the next of kin was also involved in the
accident and dead too. A situation I have monitored closely with my position
in our bank.
Now, having monitored this deposit and managed it over the years before and
after his death, and hence nobody has showed up as the second next of kin
for the past years now, I have removed the file to my "private vault". I now
humbly solicit for your assistance in this issue. I wish to present you as
the second next of kin to this our client so as to claim out this money,
before it is remitted into the federal account where other people may as
well claim it directly without going to this length. This does not have any
risk provided you give me your assistance and support.
I therefore request you to confirm your interest by a return message and I
will furnish you with the full details and what to do concerning this deal.
What you stand to gain would be discussed and it is negotiable before the
deal commences.
Thank you in anticipation of your urgent response to my request stating your
wish in this deal.
Kind regards,
Mr. Michael Annan.
