Att,
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 Zubiru Dangote, 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 Zubiru Dangote
