Subject: BUSINESS PROPOSAL
FROM THE DESK OF RAHAMAM AZIZ
BILL AND EXCHANGE MANAGER
FOREIGN REMMITTANCE DEPARTMENT.
GHANA COMMERCIAL BANK ACCRA GHANA,
WEST AFRICA.
Dear Sir/Madam, I am the manager of bill and exchange at the foreign remmittance departmentof Ghana commercial bank Accra.In my department I discovered an abandoned sum of $15m US Dollars(fifteen million US Dollars) in an account that belongsto one of our foriegn customer who died along with his entire family in October 31st 1999 in a plane crash.
Since we got information about his death, we have been expecting his next of kin to come over and claim his money because we cannot release it unless somebody applies for it as next of kin or relation to the deceased as indicated in our banking guidlines and laws, but unfortunately we learnt that all his supposed next of kin or relation diedalong side with him at the plane clash leaving no body behind for the claim. It is therfore upon this discovery that I decided to make this business proposal to you and release the money to you as the next of kin or relation to the deceased for safety and subsequent disbursement since nobody is coming for it and we dont want this money to go into the bank teasury as unclaimed bill.
The banking law and guidline here stipulates that if such money remained unclaimed after five years, the money will be transfered into the bank treasure as unclaimed fund. The request of a foreigner as next of kin in this business is occassioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner and a Ghanian cannot stand as next of kin to a foreigner. I agree that30% of this money will be for you as a foreign partner, in respect to the provision of a foreign account, and 70% will be for me .There after I will visit your country for disbursment according to the percentages indicated.
Therefore, to enable the immediate transfer of this fund to you as arranged, ou must apply firs to the bank as relation or next or kin of the deceased indicating your bank name, your bank account, your private telephone and fax number for easy and effective communication and location where in the money will be remitted. upon receipt of your reply, I will send to you by fax or email the text of the application. I will not fail to bring to your notice that this business is hicth-free and that you should not entertain any atom of fear as all required arrangements have been madefor the transfer. You should contact me immediately as soon as you receive this letter.Trusting to hear from you immediately.
YOURS SINCERELY,
RAHAMAM AZIZ.
