Subject: get back to me
Attn: Sir,
I am Dr.kofi, Senior Accountant of Bank of Ghana, Accra, Ghana. I have been working with the bank for the past (13 years). I got your contact through a reliable source and I say to myself that I must contact you to do this business with you. There is a
certain man from Iraq, a contractor who uses our bank to transfer huge sum of dollars to Asian countries and most unfortunately, he died when he went to Iraq to see his family. Before his death, he lodged ($25.5m) Twenty-five million, five hundred thousa
nd Dollars with Ghana Commercial Bank without next of kin in the form which he filled and signed with the bank. There is no way the bank can pay the money to any body hence he did not fill in any next of kin in the form given to him to fill by the Bank.
I want to make it a special privilege, to prepare you as his next of kin or the beneficiary of these funds so that both of us can use the funds for investment in your country. Please do send to me your full name, delivery address, telephone and fax and t
he front page of your passport so that I can take it to the High Court of Justice here in Accra, Ghana to prepare you as his next of kin or the beneficiary of these funds ($25.5m). I am a senior staff of the bank and Senior accountant of the bank, there
is no risk involved and I shall make sure I do everything perfectly well and meet you up in your country after the success of this transaction. An account can be opened in your name with our bank so that the funds are lodged in to the account that will b
e opened for onward wire-transfer into your account in your country. Please be assured that, God has brought this success our way and we should not do anything that will take away this opportunity from us. With God all things are possible. I would like t
hat word trust to exist between both of us and please do promise that you will not do anything that will affect the success of this transaction. Wishing to hear from you soon.
