Dearest,
I am Mr.kevin powell ,a manager in the Bills and Exchange at the Foreign
Remittance Department of one of the leading banks in Ghana. I am writing
this letter to ask for your support and cooperation to carry out this
business opportunity in my department.We discovered an abandoned sum
of$12,500,000.00 (Twelve Million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars
only) in an account that belongs to one of our foreign customers who died
along with his entire family a wife and two children in November 1999 in an
auto crash. Since we heard of his death, we have been expecting his
next-of-kin to come over and put claims for his money as the heir,because we
cannot release the fund from his account unless someone applies for claim as
the next-of-kin to the deceased as indicated in our banking
guidelines.Unfortunately, neither their family member nor distant relative
has everappeared to claim the said fund.It is in our banking guideline that
if none of the relatives come up to claim this fund after 6years of the
death of the late customer,the fund will be regarded as an unclaimed bill
and will be transferred to the bank's treasury account. Upon this discovery,
I and other officials in my department have agreed to make business with you
and release the total amount into your account as the heir of the fund since
no one came for it or discovered he maintained account with our
bank,otherwise the fund will be returned to the banks treasury as unclaimed
fund.We have agreed that our ratio of sharing will be as stated thus;30 %
for you as foreign partner,65 % for us the officials in my department and 5
% for the settlement of all local and foreign expences incurred by us and
you during the course of this business. Upon the successful completion of
this transfer, I and one of my colleagues will come to your country and mind
our share. It is from our 65% we intend to import Agricultural Machineries
into my country as a way of recycling the fund.
To commence this transaction,we require you to immediately indicate your
interest by a return e-mail with the following information:
1)Your private telephone and fax number
2.Your full name
Upon the receipt of this,i will inturn get back to you and give you the
mordalities for the bank to approve you as the next of kin.
Note also, this transaction must be kept because of its nature.I look
forward to receiving your prompt response.
Please get back to me at my private email:mail_kevinpowell@hotmail.com
Best Regards
kevin powell
