Dear Sir,
I sincerely write to seek your co-operation and trust to enable my
colleagues and I carry out an urgent business opportunity in my
department.
I work with INTERNATIONAL COMMERCIAL BANK OF GHANA; currently I am the
senior manager
of bills and exchange at the foreign remittance department of my bank.
I was
the account officer to one Mr. Ali B. Ashraf who died along with his
family
on the 8th of November 1996 in road accident along accra-kumasi
expressway.
He left in his escrow bank account the total sum of $25.5 (twenty five
million five hundred thousand USA Dollars). Since the management got
the
information of his death we have been expecting any of his relation or
his
next of kin to come up and claim his money. Unfortunately from the day
of
his death till the time of this letter none of his relation or friends
has
come up for the claim.
The banking and financial law of international commercial bank of
Ghana stipulates that if such fund remained unclaimed after a period
of four (4) years it will be transferred into the bank treasury as
unclaimed bill.
On this discovery sir, I and two other senior staffs now decided to do
business
with you and release the money to you as the next of kin to Ali B.
Ashraf
for safety and subsequent disbursement. I will soon proceed for my
retirement leave this year, and I personally do not want this fund to
be
transferred into the bank treasury as unclaimed bill. That is why I
wanted
the fund to be move out of the bank before I proceed on my retirement
from
the banking services by October 15th 2007.
The need for a foreigner as next of kin in this project is occasioned
by the
fact that the customer Mr. Ali Ashraf was a foreigner and a Ghanian can
not
stand as his next of kin or heir. We have agreed that 20% of the Fund
would
be for you as foreign partner; thereafter my colleague and I will visit
your
country for disbursement according to the percentages indicated.
To enable the immediate transfer of the fund into your nominated
account,
you will first apply to the bank as the next of kin of the deceased,
indicating your bank account number and location wherein the money will
be
remitted. Upon receipt of your acknowledgement indicating your
interest, I
will send to you the text of the application that you will send to the
international commercial Bank authority for an approval to submit your
claims.
Please note that you are not to appear in person, as every thing
regarding
this project will be strictly on documentations and every banking
documents
needed for this transaction will be taken care of by an attorney.
Looking forward to urgently hearing from you.
Yours Faithfully
DR Uche afu
