Dear friend
With apologies for interference in your privacy I am Reverend Jude Akufo a

good friend of mine and founder of the Orphan Hope Foundation,
who was a foreigner and the managing director of an investment firm here
in Ghana Unfortunately my friend died in 2000, He established these
foundation to help less privileged minority people in our society which he
was doing before the unfortunate death of its founder.I am to conduct a
standard process Investigation/Recommendation on behalf of The Trust Bank
Ghana.
This involves the late founder of our foundation who shares the same
surname with you and also the circumstances surrounding his private funds
deposited with The Trust Bank Ghana, the bank contacted me a month ago as
the director of his foundation and a trustee to recommend a next of kin to
the funds since he (Our Late founder) died intestate and nominated no
successor in title over the fund deposit made with the bank amounting to
US$10 Million (Ten Million Dollars).
The essence of this communication with you is to request that you provide
me with information/comments on any or all of the four issues as regards
nominating you to inherit the fund left behind since you are a foreigner
with the same surname hence eligible to stand for claim of the funds. I
have therefore contacted you to be legally nominated as next of kin
(inheritor) to Our Late founder after all inquiries and investigation even
with the relevant embassy has yielded results showing that there is no
known or living next of kin.
You are required therefore to answer this questions to enable me make my
recommendation to The Trust Bank
Ghana. Can you confirm your willingness to accept this inheritance if you
are legally and legitimately nominated through my recommendation to the
bank and approved to stand as inheritor to this funds. Would you agree to
donate 60% of this inheritance to our charity organization if you are
officially recommended to the bank in my powers to stand as the Inheritor?

It is pertinent that you inform me ASAP whether or not you are familiar
with this personality or and your interest towards the issues mentioned.
You must appreciate that I am constrained from providing you with more
detailed information at this point.
Please respond to this mail as soon as possible to afford me the
opportunity to provide you with more information on matter and upon your
consent proceed with the recommendation of your person to the bank as the
inheritor of the funds.
