Subject: Re;My Dear Friend
KINDLY ALOW ME THE MODESTY OF INTRODUCING MYSELF. I GOT YOUR CONTACT/E-MAIL ADDRESS THROUGH THE EXPORT PROMOTION COUNCIL OF THE GHANA CHAMBER OF COMMERCE AND INDUSTRY VIA WEBSITE.
Dear Friend, I am Mr.Daniel Kofi, A Banker with International Commercial Bank of Ghana, I have urgent and very confidential business proposition for you. On June 6, 2002, an American Oil Consultant/Contractor with the National Oil Ghana Ltd Mr. Robert Martins made a numbered time (Fixed) Deposit for twelve calendar months. Valued at US$25,500,000.00 (Twenty-Five Million, Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars only) in my branch, upon maturity I sent a routine notification to his forwarding address but got no reply. After a month, we sent a reminder and finally we discovered from his contract employers the National Oil Ghana LTD that Mr. Robert Martins died from an automobile crash on Febuary 11 2003. On further investigation. I found out that he died without making "WILL", and all attempts to trace his next of kin was fruitless.
I therefore made further investigation and discovered that Mr. Robert Martins did not declare any kin or relations in all his official documents, including his Bank Deposit paperwork in my Bank.
This sum of US$25,500,000.00 only, 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 Ghana Law, at the expiration of 5 (Five) years, the money will revert to the ownership of the Ghana Government if nobody applies to claim the fund.
Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you to act as the next kin to Mr. Robert Martins so that the fruits of this old mans labour will not get into the hands of some corrupt government officials.
This is simple, I will send you sketch of claim application letter for you to send to our Bank. A Bank Account in any part of the world, which you will provide will then facilitate the transfer of this money to you as the beneficiary/next of kin. The money will be paid into your Account for us to share in the ratio of 60% for me and 30% for you while 10% is for expenses in the course of the transaction. There is no risk involved,and with my position as the Branch Manager guarantees the successful execution of this transaction.
If you are interested, upon your response, I shall then provide you with more details on how to proceed ..
Please observe utmost confidentiality. And be rest assured that this transaction would be most profitable for both of us because I shall require your assistance to invest my share in your country.
SINCERELY YOURS, Daniel Kofi,Principal Partner
