Attn:
First i must solicit your strictest confidence in this transaction and i pary that my decision To contact you will be given genuine approval and as i told you
My name is Mr. libyoma ahmed, a staff in Banking and operation department of a Commercial Bank in Accra – Ghana .I has urgent and very confidential business proposition for you as discussed.
On January 6 2003, an oil consultant / contractor with Ghana National Petroleum Corporation made a numbered time (fixed) deposited for 3 calendar years valued at US$5,500,000.00 ( Five Million, five hundred 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 discovered that the customer who deposited this fund died in plane crash along with his entire family.
On further investigation, I found out that he did not leave a WILL and all attempts to trace his next of kin were fruitless. I therefore made further investigation and discovered that he did not declare any next of kin in all his official documents, including his Bank Deposit paperwork. This sum of US$5,500,000.00 is still sitting in the Bank and the interest is being rolled over with the principal sum at the end of each year. No one will come forward to claim it.
According to the Ghana Law, at the expiration of 3 (three) years, the money will revert to the ownership of the Ghana Government if nobody applies to claim the funds, as an abandoned treasure.
Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you as a foreigner to stand in as the next of kin to the dead customer, for this USD5,500 000.00 to be release to you, so that the fruits of this old mans labor will not get into the hands of some corrupt government officials.
As a Director and a staff of this bank, what we have to do is simple, as far as you fellow my instructions.
May i inform you that screecy,trust,honest and confident should be a base for the success of this transaction, base on this, Me and you are much expected to keep this business very secrete and confidential.
I am promising that as soon as we get this fund transferred into your account, I will give to you 25% of the total sum as a compensation for your full assistance, while 75 % will be fore me and i will be interested in investing part of my own share in a your kind of business in your country.
More information of the steps to follow in order to actualize this aim will be detail to you as soon as you are interested, there is no risk, my position as a staff of this BANK, guarantees the successful execution of this business.
Best regards,
Mr. libyoma ahmed
