Accra Ghana .
Dear Paula Moreau,
Greetings, It is indeed my pleasure to write you this letter, which I believe will be a surprise to you as we have never met before, and I am deeply sorry if I have in any manner disturbed your privacy. Please forgive this unusual manner of contacting you, but this particular letter is of exceptional and very private nature. There is absolutely going to be a great doubt and distrust in your heart in respect of this email, coupled with the fact that, so many individuals have taken possession of the Internet to facilitate their nefarious deeds, thereby making it extremely difficult for genuine and legitimate business class persons to get attention and recognition.
There is no way for me to know whether I will be properly understood, but it is my duty to write and reach out to you. Let me start by introducing myself. I am Dr .Adams Trust, Director of operations Foreign Remittances Department of Eco-Bank Bank Ltd, Accra Ghana Branch. I have a obscured business suggestion for you. Before the U.S and Iraqi war our client Major Fadi Basem who was with the Iraqi forces and also business man made a numbered fixed deposit for 18 calendar months, with a value of Twenty Four millions Five Hundred Thousand United State Dollars ($24,500.000.00) only in my Branch. Upon maturity several notices was sent to him, even during the war early this year. Again after the war another notification was sent and still no response came from him. We later find out that the Major and his family had been killed during the war in bomb blast that hit their home.
After further investigation it was also discovered that Major Fadi Basem did made you his Foreign Beneficiary to his funds with our Bank as his next of kin in his official papers including the paper work of his bank deposit and also with his Bank Agreement which has mandated you as the Foreign Beneficiary to his Funds . And he also had confided in me the last time he was at my office that no one except me knew of his deposit in my Bank. So, Twenty Four millions Five Hundred Thousand United (24,500.000.00) State Dollars is still lying in my bank and no one will ever come forward to claim it. What bothers me most is that according to the to the laws of my country at the expiration 10 years the funds will revert to the ownership of the GHANA Government if nobody applies to claim the funds. Against this backdrop, my suggestion to you now is when are you ready, so that we can start making possible ways to see that we make available the necessary proceedings to accomplish
this task immediately you confirm receipt of this email.
Thanks for understanding, as I awaits to hear from you soonest.
Yours Faithfully,
Dr .Adams Trust
