Subject: PROPOSAL TREAT SOONEST.
Dear ,
Greetings.
I am Mr.James UBI the Account Manager of Late
Mr. Morris Thompson in Daimond Credit Bank ,here in Kumasi Ghana. However I got your contact through the International web directory.I decided to contact you by email
because I feel that it is more secured and private. Recently we
discovered a Dormant Account with a huge amount of Money Valued
USD15,000,000.00 (Fifteen Million Dollars only)that belongs to
one of our late Customer who died in a plane crash .During our
investigation and auditing in this bank, my department came across a
very huge sum of money belonging to Late Mr. Morris Thompson an
American great industrialist and a resident of Alaska, who
unfortunately lost his life in the plane crash of Alaska Airlines
Flight 261 which crashed on January 31 2000,including his wife and
only daughter. You shall read more news about the crash on visiting
this site which I got during my investigation;
http://www.cnn.com/2000/US/02/01/alaska.airlines.list/ and
http://www.nativefederation.org/history/people/mThompson.html The
fund has been dormant in his account With this Bank without any claim
of the funds in our custody either from his family or relation before
our discovery of this development. The Banking law here stipulates
that if such money remains unclaimed for 6years, it will be
forfeited to the Bank treasury as an unclaimed bill.It is only a
foreigner that can stand as a next of kin and It is upon this
discovery that I decided to contact you to collaborate with you to
pull out this dormant fund. In order to avert this negative
development, I on behalf of my trusted colleagues now seek your
permission to have you stand in as next of kin to Our late Customer
so that the fund will be released and paid into your account as the
beneficiary´s next of kin now that the bank is still expecting a
next of kin or relative of the deceased ,Late Mr. Morris Thompson.
In fact we could have done this deal alone but because of our
position in this country as civil servants, we are not allowed to
operate a foreign account and that would eventually raise an eye brow
on our side during the time of transfer since we still work in this
bank, this is the actual reason why we required a second party or
fellow who will assist us forward claims as the next of kin and also
provide either an existing bank account or to set up a new Bank a/c
immediately to receive this fund, even an empty a/c can also serve
for this purpose. On smooth conclusion of this transaction, you will
be entitled to 40% as gratification for your assisting us, and the
remaining 60% will be for me and my partners. What I want from you is
for you to act as the deceased next of kin. I have in my possession,
all the necessary Documents to successfully accomplish the operation.
Bear in mind that this proposal is 100% risk free. Further
Information will be given to you as soon as I receive your positive
response. I suggest you get back to me as soon as possible stating
your wish. I await your Urgent Responce
Regrads,
Mr.James UBI.
