Subject: From Ms Melissa Kwame
Greetings.
My name is Ms Melissa Kwame 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, and I became the present Manager and discovered a
fortune. As I resumed duty, I discovered an account with total sum of
$5,000,000 (Five Million United States Dollars)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.
Should you be interested please send me the required information below.
1, Your Full Names,
2, You Private Phone Number,
3, Your Current Residential Address
Thanking you in advance and may God bless you.
Please, treat with utmost confidentiality. I wait your urgent response.
My phone number is +233207272715
Regards,
Ms Melissa Kwame
