Subject: Business Proposal.
Dear Sir.
Greetings to you, before I introduce myself, I wish to inform you that this
letter is not a hoax mail and I urge you to treat it serious. This letter
must come to you as a big surprise, but I believe it is only a day that
people meet and become great friends and business partners.
My name is Charles. Kwame, the present branch Manager of a bank here in
Ghana. I write you this proposal in good faith, believing that I can trust
you with the information I am about to reveal to you.
Like I said, I have a transaction that will benefit both of us, as your
assistance is required as a foreigner. I use to head the Accounts department
in my bank head office, but last December I was asked to take position of a
Manager of our branch in Kumasi who passed on, so
that was how I became the present Manager and discovered a fortune. As I
resumed duty, I discovered an account with total sum of $18,500,000 million
that has not been operated on for the past 4 years.
>From my investigation, I found out that this account belongs to one Late Mr.
ANDREAS SCHRANNER a German great industrialist and a resident of Munich, who
unfortunately lost his life along with his entire family in the plane crash
of CONCORDE AIRLINE [Flight AF4590] which crashed on 25TH JULY, 2000.You
shall read more news about the crash on visiting this site, which I got
during my investigation; http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/859479.stm
The account is escrow call account, a secret type of account in my bank and
no other person knows about this account or any thing concerning it, the
account has no other beneficiary. I have kept a close monitoring of the
account since then and nobody has come forward to ask about the money as
next of kin to the late Mr. Andreas Schranner, meaning that no one is
aware of the account. I cannot directly take out this money without the help
of a foreigner and that is why I am contacting you for an assistance to
claim the fund and share it with me.
As the Manager of my bank branch, I have the power to influence the release
of the funds to any foreigner that comes up as the next of kin to the
account, with the correct information concerning the account, which I shall
give you.
I am seeking your co-operation to present you as the next of kin to the
account, so that my bank headquarters will release the funds to you. There
is practically no risk involved, the transaction will be executed under a
legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of law.
If you accept to work with me, I want you to state how you wish us to share
the funds in percentage, so that both parties will be satisfied. Contact me
as soon as you receive this message if you feel we can work together, so we
can go over the details. Thanking you in advance and may God bless you.
Please, treat with utmost confidentiality. I wait your urgent response.
Yours Faithfully.
Charles.N. Kwame.
