Subject: My Dear
STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL
I am Mr. Awudu Ahmad, Budget and Account manager of Ghana National
Bank.I have an urgent and very confidential business proposition for you.
In June, 2000, a German property consultant and importer of used cars,Mr
Andreas Schranner made a numbered time (Fixed) Deposit for twelve
calendar months, valued at US$6.1m(Six Million One Hundred Thousand United
States Dollars )in my branch.
It was to our utter suprise that we heard of his death,wife and
children in an AF4590 plane crash in July 2000. See website below:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/859479.stm On further
investigation,I found out that he died without making a WILL, and hitherto, all
attempts to trace his next of kin was fruitless. Mr Andreas Schranner
was residing at House 3 Madina, Accra Ghana.
I therefore made further investigation and discovered that Mr Andreas
Schranner did not declare any kin or relations in all his official
documents,including his Bank Deposit paperwork in my Bank. This sum of
US$6.1m is still sitting in my Bank and the interest is being rolled over
with the principal sum at the end of each year. No one will ever come
forward to claim it.
According to Laws of Ghana,at the expiration of 5 (five)years,the money
will be declared frozen and forfeited to the Ghana Government if nobody
applies to claim the fund. Consequently, my proposal is that I will
like you as a foreigner to stand in as the next of kin or business partner
to Mr Andreas Schranner so that the fruits of this old man's labor will
not get into the hands of some corrupt government officials. This is
simple,
I will like you to provide immediately your full names and
address,phone and fax numbers so that i can prepare the necessary documents that
will put you in place as the next of kin or business partner.Your role in
the transaction is to send an application for claim of the funds to our
bank. Then,as top officials of the bank, I shall work behind-the-scene
to make sure that your application is approved by the management of
the bank, and the funds transfered to your nominated bank account.
Please note that there is no risks invovle at all, as all the paperwork
for this transaction will be done legitimately and with my positions as
top officials of the bank i would ensure a successful execution of this
transaction. If you are interested, please reply immediately.
Please send me your confidential telephone and fax numbers for easy
communication. You should observe utmost CONFIDENTIALITY AND SECRECY in
this transaction, and rest assured that this transaction would be most
profitable for both of us because I will require your assistance to
invest my share in your country. I look forward to your prompt
response.Pleas get back to through my private mail box
Thanks and regards.
