Dear Sir,
Though I know that a transaction of this magnitude
will make any one apprehensive and worried, but I am
assuring you that everything will be well at the end
of the day. We have decided to contact you due to
the urgency of this transaction.
Let me start by introducing myself properly to you.I
am Mr Ahmed Gumel , an audit officer with Barclays Bank, Accra Ghana.
THE PROPOSITION:
A Foreigner a french, Late Engr.Jean claude Pierre
(Snr) a merchant with The Federal Government of
Ghana, Formerly working in WIT Watersrand
Gold Mine, Accra,Ghana.
until his death months ago in Kenya Air Bus (A310 -
304)Flight KQ431, He banked with us at Barclays Bank
Accra and had a closing balance as at the end
of September, 2000 worth $3,800.000.00 (Three
Million eight hundred thousand United State Dollars), (this is
aside the incured interest so far from that date) the
bank now expects his next of kin as beneficiary.
Valuable efforts are being made by the Bank to get in
touch with any of the Claude's Family or Relatives but
to no success.
It is because of the perceived possibility of not
being able to locate any of Late Engr. Jean Claude
Pierre(Snr.)'s next of kin (He had no wife or children
that is known to us). The Management under the
influence of our Chairman and Members of the Board of
Directors, that arrangement has been made for the fund
to be decleared "Unclaimed" and subsequentlly be
donated to the trust fund for arms and ammunition to
further enhance the course of War in Africa and the
World in General.
In order to avert this negative development, some of
my trusted colleagues and I now seek your permission
to have you stand as next of kin to the late Engr.
Jean Claude Pierre (Snr.) so that the fund will be
released and paid into your Account as the beneficiary
next of kin.
All documents and proves to enable you get this fund
will be carefully worked out. We have secured from
the probate registry, an order of Mandamus to locate
any of the deceased's beneficiary(ies), and more so we
are assuring you that this business is 100% Risk Free.
Your share will be 30% of the total sum while the rest
will be for myself and my colleagues for investment
purposes, According to agreement between both parties.
However,It might interest you to know that you can
claim the fund in our main bank's main branch here in
Ghana or in our corresponding
office in Dubai.
Should you be interested in claiming the money from
our correspondent bank in spain, we have a colleague
in that bank who will offer you assistance in spain
and who will be willing to talk with you on phone
as soon as possible.
We shall arrange to change the name of beneficiary in
your favour with our bank and also the Probate
Registry of the Government of Ghana.
Kindly indicate your interest to enable us make
arrangements to get the neccessary supporting and back
up documents that will make you eligible to claim the
fund as his next of Kin.

all further correspondeces would be through
my email address or in this number (+233 244 507 193)
