New Era Foundation,
Team, Accra Ghana.
Ghana.
My Friend God Bless you
I am Reverend J. Adu-Mante a director of the above mentioned Foundation. I am writing you in regard to a good friend of mine and founder of the New Era Foundation, Mr. Walt Roland is a USA citizen who was the managing director of an investment firm here in Ghana. Unfortunately my friend Mr. Walt died in 2000, He established this Foundation to help less privileged minority people in our Ghanaian society which it was doing before the unfortunate death of its founder.
However I have contacted you because of an account which my late friend Held in a bank, this account held the sum of US$13,800,000 only. I was notified by the bank that the Account has remained dormant since his death and no next of kin has come forward to claim these funds hence they will close the account, declare the Funds unserviceable and confiscated to be sent into the bank treasury.
I did notify the relevant embassy to these regards but they wrote me informing me that Late Mr. Walt had no living relation or next of kin who could come forward to claim these funds. That is why I am contacting you now since you have the same last name and is eligible to claim the funds as next of kin according to the banks regulations. The New Era Foundation has been suffering from a severe lack of funds since the death of Mr. Walt and as such have not be able to carry out our activities as envisaged by our founder, I ask for your assistance and cooperation to help claim this funds from the bank as you are a Foreigner with the same last name and is qualified to claim the funds as next of kin so that the funds will be repatriated before it is seized by the bank.
It was because of these urgency that I had to contact you since the Foundation here in Ghana is in a financial mess as even the over 165 Orphan children in our care can't boast now of the better life they sort to find in our care since the death of their benefactor. There will be no difficulty in you claiming these funds since you are Entitled by having the same last name and could easily position as next of kin, the bank will pay in the money into your nominated bank account when we conclude the claim with my assistance in meeting all the banking/legal requirements to prove you the rightful beneficiary.
Once this money is transferred to you 30% will be for your assistance 65% will be for the New Era foundation here in Ghana, while 5% will be for reconciliation of any expenses made during the course of the Transaction. I require your urgent response to my request as we do not have much Time to begin the process of claim before the bank closes the Bank account. Get back to me by email and Telephone. You know how confidential this is, I hope you keep it intact. I look forward to hearing from you soon. Do send across your telephone number for convenient communication and remin belss as you do so.
Respectably Yours
Rev. J. Adu-Mante.
