Subject: Private Proposal
Dear Sir,
Your Company's developments under your leadership are evidence of your
personal capability in business and that prompted me to contact you today.
Therefore, with full corporate responsibility under penalty of Perjury, I
want to plead your personal assistance and co-operation as I propose
hereunder:
I am the Manager of International Commercial Bank, Kaneshie Branch in Accra,
Ghana and I got your contact during my search for a reliable, honest and a
trust worthy person to entrust with this transaction.
I was introduced to the late Yugoslavian President, Mr. Slobodan Milosevic
during the Kosovo war in 1999 and when he confidentially deposited an amount
of USD$8,700,000.00 in a fixed deposit account with my bank. Since then the
bank had no contact with him, we only acted on his signed instructions to
roll-over the deposit with the Monthly interests but we became interested in
his political difficulties during the uprising against him in 2000 which
evidently led to his arrest/detention in The Hague.
Unfortunately, Mr. Milosevic did not leave any beneficiary for this deposit
and that made it difficult for us to contact any of his Family to claim the
Fund. I decided to move the fund into a suspense account without beneficiary
and find a Partner in the Gulf region who can assist me to withdraw this
deposit as beneficiary/depositor. I have already submitted an audited
approved end of the year Report for the year 2006 to our Bank head office at
Makola Shopping Mall here in Accra.
As an officer of the bank I cannot directly claim/withdraw this money, but I
want to use you as Front to claim the fund legally. Thus I am impelled to
request for your assistance to receive this money into your bank account. I
intend to part 40% of this fund to you while 60% shall be for me. I do need
to stress that there are practically no risk involved in this transaction.
The transaction will be a bank-to-bank transfer.
I will send you detail arrangement of the procedures that we shall apply to
legally/successfully claim the fund when I receive your confirmation. Your
timely response will be appreciated and you can call me on Mobile phone:
+233-277-191-044
Sincerely Yours,
Kwame Achampong
