Subject: very important
Attention:
Let me start by introducing myself to you.My name is David Maxdon, Manager Bills and Exchange of Foreign Remittance office of International Comercial Bank Kanehoe Main Branch,Accra-Ghana . I am writing you this letter to ask for your support and co-operation to carry out this transaction as l have been mandated by my colleagues to look for a competent personality who could be of assistance in this transaction. We discovered an abandoned sum of US$25.5million (twenty five million five hundred thousand USDollars) in an account that belongs to one of our Foreign customer, Engr.ANDY NAA, who died alongside his entire family in November 2002 in a ghastly auto crash. Since this development, we have advertised for his next of kin or any close relation to come forward to claim this money, but nobody came responded. Therefore l decided to search the internet and look for a similiar name who could stand as the next of kin to enable us claim this fund from our bank.Since you
share thesame close name with our deceased client l decided to contact you hoping you could be our immence assistance in this transaction. I need a foreign partner to apply for the claim because of the fact that the customer was a foreigner and we don't want this money to go into the Banks Treasury as unclaimed fund. NOTE:I do need to assure you that there is practically no risk involved in this. Every document to effect this process will emanate from my table and I will perfect every document to be in accordance with the banking law and guidelines, So you have nothing to worry about. I have agreed that 20% of the money will be for you, 5% for expenses incurred on both sides,while 75% will be for me and my coleagues. If you are going to help us,indicate by replying this letter and putting in your Telephone and fax number. Once I receive your reply, I will send you the Text Application for you to forward to the Bank. Thanks for your anticipated assistance.
Yours faithfully,
David Maxdon.
