Subject: CONFIDENTIAL READ AND REPLY ASAP....
FROM MRS ANITA AISHA,
BILL AND EXCHANGE MANAGER
FOREIGN REMITTANCE DEPT.
INTERNATIONAL COMMERCIAL BANK LTD,
ACCRA,GHANA.
Dear ,
I am the manager of bill and exchange, foreign remittance department of
International Commercial Bank Ltd Ghana.In my department we discovered an
abandoned sum amount of money to the tune of US$9.7M (Nine Million Seven
Hundred Thousand US dollars) in an escrow account that belongs to one of our
foreign customers who died along with his entire family in a plane crash
that happened in Kenya, East Africa.
Since we got information about his death, we have been expecting his next of
kin to come over and claim his money because we cannot release it unless
some body applies for it as next of kin or relation to the deceased as
indicated in our banking guidelines and laws but unfortunately we learnt
that all his supposed next of kin or relation died alongside with him at the
plane crash leaving nobody behind for the claim.
Please I want you to visit the website below for more information about the
Plane Crash and the Deceased, DR. GEORGE W. BRUMLEY AND HIS FAMILY:
http://www.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/africa/07/20/kenya.crash/index.html
It is therefore upon this discovery that I now decided to make this business
proposal to you and release the money to you as the next of kin or relation
to the deceased for safety and subsequent disbursement since nobody is
coming for it and I don't want this money to go into the bank treasury as
unclaimed bill.
I agree that 40% of this money will be for you as a foreign partner, in
respect to the provision of a foreign account, and 60% would be for me,
There after I will visit your country for disbursement according to the
percentage indicated.
Therefore, to enable the immediate transfer of this fund to you as arranged,
you must apply first to the bank as a relation or next of kin of the
deceased indicating your bank name, your bank account number, your private
telephone and fax number for easy and effective communication and location
wherein the money will be remitted. Upon the receipt of your reply.
I will send to you by fax or email the text of the application to fill and
send to the bank. I will not fail to bring to your notice that this
transaction is 100% Risk free and you should keep this transaction (TOP
SECRET) and this transaction will only take us 14banking days in the
acceptance of this proposal because as a banker.
I know what to do and move the funds into your account without any delay and
that you should not entertain any atom of fear as all required arrangements
have been made for the transfer. You should contact me as soon as you
receive this letter.
Yours faithfully.
MRS ANITA AISHA
