Dear Sir/Madam,

Attorney to a national of your country, who used to work with Ashanti gold
Mining company in Ghana. Here in after shall be referred to as my client.
On the 21st of April 2001,my client, his wife and their only daughter
Were involved in a car accident along Kumasi express road. All occupants of
The vehicle unfortunately lost their lives. Since then I have made several
Enquiries to your embassy to locate any of my clients extended relatives

You. I have contacted you to assist in repatriating the money and property
Left behind by my client before they get confiscated or declared

Lodged. Particularly, the ECO BANK GHANA where the deceased had an account
Valued at about $5.5 million dollars has the bankers has issued a notice
To provide the next of kin or have the account confiscated within the
Next ten official working days.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the the relatives for over
2years now I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the
Deceased since you have the same last name so that the proceeds of this
Account valued at $5.5 million dollars can be paid to you and then you and
Me can share the money. 50% to me and 45% to you while 5% will be kept
Aside for any expenses secured during the transaction, I will arrange all necessary
legal documents that can be used to back up any claim we may make.

Through. I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate
Arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law.
