REGARD.
I HAVE DECIDED TO CONTACT YOU ON A BUSINESS TRANSACTION THAT WILL BE VERY
BENEFICIAL TO BOTH OF US AT END OF THE TRANSACTION. *
*DURING OUR INVESTIGATION AND AUDITING IN THIS BANK,IN MY DEPARTMENT I CAME
ACROSS A VERY HUGE SUM OF MONEY BELONGING TO A DECEASED PERSON WHO DIED ON
26TH DECEMBER 2003 IN A PLANE CRASH AT BENIN REPUBLIC AND THE FUND HAS BEEN
DORMANT IN HIS ACCOUNT WITH THIS BANK WITHOUT ANY CLAIM OF THE FUND IN OUR
CUSTODY EITHER FROM HIS FAMILY OR RELATION BEFORE OUR DISCOVERY TO THIS
DEVELOPMENT.THE SAID AMOUNT WAS U.S $12.5M (TWELVE MILLION FIVE HUNDRED
THOUSAND UNITED STATES DOLLARS)AS IT MAY INTEREST YOU TO KNOW,I GOT YOUR
IMPRESSIVE INFORMATION THROUGH THE GHANA CHAMBER OF FOREIGN RELATIONS HERE
IN ACCRA GHANA.
MEANWHILE,ALL THE WHOLE ARRANGEMENT TO PUT CLAIM OVER THIS FUND AS THE
BONAFIDE NEXT OF KIN TO THE DECEASED,GET THE REQUIRED APPROVAL AND TRANSFER
THIS MONEY TO A FOREIGN ACCOUNT HAS BEEN PUT IN PLACE AND DIRECTIVES AND
NEEDED INFORMATION WILL BE RELAYED TO YOU AS SOON AS YOU INDICATE YOUR
INTEREST AND WILLINGNESS TO ASSIST ME AND ALSO BENEFIT YOUR SELF TO THIS
GREAT BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY.
IN FACT,I COULD HAVE DONE THIS DEAL ALONE BUT BECAUSE OF MY POSITION IN THIS
BANK AS A CIVIL SERVANT(A BANKER) WE ARE NOT ALLOWED TO OPERATE A FOREIGN
ACCOUNT AND WOULD EVENTUALLY RAISE AN EYE BROW ON MY SIDE DURING THE
TRANSFER BECAUSE I STILL WORKING IN THIS BANK.THIS IS THE ACTUAL REASON WHY
IT WILL REQUIRE A SECOND PARTY OR FELLOW WHO WILL FORWARD CLAIMS AS THE NEXT
OF KIN WITH AFFIDAVIT OF TRUST OF OATH TO THE BANK AND ALSO PRESENT A
FOREIGN ACCOUNT WHERE HE WILL NEED THE MONEY TO BE RE-TRANSFERRED INTO ON
HIS REQUEST AS IT MAY BE AFTER DUE VERIFICATION AND CLARIFICATION BY THE
CORRESPONDENT BRANCH OF THE BANK WHERE THE WHOLE MONEY WILL BE REMITTED FROM
TO YOUR OWN DESIGNATION BANK ACCOUNT.
THEN ON THE SMOOTH CONCLUSION OF THIS TRANSACTION, YOU WILL ENTITLE TO 45%
OF THE TOTAL SUM AS GRATIFICATION, WHILE 55% WILL BE FOR ME. PLEASE, YOU
HAVE BEEN ADVICED TO KEEP "TOP SECRET"AS I AM STILL IN SERVICE AND INTEND TO
RETIRE FROM SERVICE AFTER I CONCLUDE THIS DEAL WITH YOU. I WILL BE MONTORING
THE WHOLE SITUTATION HERE IN THIS BANK UNTILL YOU CONFIRM THE MONEY IN YOUR
ACCOUNT BEFORE MY PROCEEDING TO YOUR COUNTRY FOR SUBSEQUENT SHARING OF THE
FUND ACCORDING TO PERCENTAGE PREVOUSLY INDICATED. ALL OTHER NECESSARY
INFORMATION WILL BE SEND TO YOU WHEN I HEAR FROM YOU. YOU CAN CONTACT ME
