Subject: with good faith........Dear
Dear Friend,
I am a staff of one of the leading banks in Ghana. I will give you the name
of my bank and other important information if I receive a positive reply
from you. For security reasons I cannot disclose my full identity to you now
until I am sure of your cooperation. I work in the operations dept where I
serve as account officer to numerous customers. One of the customers whom I
worked as his account officer was a wealthy diamond merchant from
America.Because this man was good to me when he was alive, I took it upon
myself to travel to his country last month, to see if I could locate any of
his close relations.
On reaching there I discovered that his only surviving uncle died a few
months back. I sponsored this trip on my own and nobody in the bank knew I
was undertaking the journey so I did not present any official report of my
findings in the bank. Now there are two things I could do with regards to
the money. First, as his accounts officer, I could formally notify the bank
authorities that the man is dead and has no next of kin. In this case the
money would be forfeited to the government after some time. As a matter of
fact this is the proper thing I am supposed to do.
Another thing I can do is to arrange for someone else, a foreigner, to act
as the next of kin of the late man so that he will claim the money. This is
the option that I can do to help anybody and myself since the money actually
is public fund due to the fact that my friend was a close ally to the late
brutal military president that looted government treasury. And that is why
I have chosen to do it.
I want you to be my partner. All you would have to do is act as the next of
kin of the dead man and the whole money in the account will be transferred
to your account. As the accounts officer to the late man, I have all the
necessary documents that will require claiming the money in the account. The
total money in the account is USD17 million. Your share will be 30%, which
is USD5, 100,000. My colleague and i will share 70%. Reach me immediately by
mail so that I can give you further details. Also provide me you with direct
telephone to reach you.
Please respond to this mail using my email p_e_petereze2006@yahoo.com
I wait for your prompt response.
Thanks and God bless,
Mr.Peter Eze
