Compliments!
I Barrister Sabinus Owusu have decided to bestow this trust on you, which I
pray you will Not ignore or betray. I apologized in advance for any
inconveniences this may cause you.
I am Barrister Sabinus Owusu the Personal Attorney to late Mr George
K.Marshal, who was a contractor here in Ghana Rep. Who on December 2003 with
his entire family perished in the Air-Crash on board From Cotonou
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/3348109.stm, As a matter of fact, my
client made a fixed deposit Amount valued at ten million,five hundred
thousand united state of American dollars ( US$ 10.500,000.00) with a Bank
here in Ghana Rep, and upon the duration time of their agreement,his bank
started contacting him but no response.Consequently, the Bank issued me a
notice to provide the next of kin to the deceased as his personal attorney
or have his account confiscated after five years as it is in the law of this
country.
Since then, I have made several contacts to His Country's Embassy in order
to locate any of my clients extended relatives which had also been
unsuccessful. Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for
over four years now, I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin
of the deceased since none of his relatives were no where to be found so
that the proceeds of this account valued at US$10.500,000.00 could be
transfered into your account, thereafter, we will both share it in
percentage according to our contributions to boost the success of this great
transaction. I have all the necessary legal documents that can be used to
back up all the claims we will make. All I require is your honest co
operation to enable us make this great benefiting transaction successfully.
I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement
that will protect you from any breach of the law. Please get in touch with
me as fast as possible.
With best wishes,
Barr.Sabinus Owusu
