Dear Sir,
RE: URGENT INVESTMENT REQUEST/ FUND TRANSFER.
I wish to bestow this mutual trust on you, which I believe you will not ignore or betray. I also apologize in advance for any inconvenience this letter may cause you. I am WILLIAM OPONG,PH.d (SAGH) the Personal Attorney to late Mr Arthur Frizzell, who was Importer of Textiles and Automobiles here in Ghana for the past 19yrs.
But unfortunately my client and his family died in the ill-fated plane crash involving a Boeing 727 UTA chartered flight that took off from Cotonou, Republic of Benin and crashed into the Atlantic ocean on Thursday, 25 December 2003. And about 111 passengers were killed For details of the plane crash, please visit:
http://www.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/africa/12/26/benin.crash/index.html.
As a matter of fact, my client has made a fixed deposit amount valued at (USD$6.375M) with one of the COMMERCIAL BANKS here in Ghana, and upon the duration time of their agreement, this bank started contacting him but no response.
Consequently, the bank issued me a notice as his personal attorney to provide the next of kin to the deceased or have his account confiscated after two years, as it is in the law of their banking policy. Since then, I have made several contacts to His Country's Embassy in order to locate any of my clients extended relatives, but no success was made. So since I made no success in locating the relatives for over a period of months now, I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased since none of his relatives were no way to be found so that the account value of US$6.375m could be transferred into your own bank account for our use, while I will invest my own part into a lucrative investment project and you will be my trusty manager there. Therefore if you welcomes this request please forward the following:
1) Your full name.
2) Your contact address.
3) Your phone and fax numbers.
Upon confirmation, subsequent measures have to be taken towards transfer of the money to your bank account.
Since the money is neither yours nor mine, I intend that the disbursement will be equal, that is to the ratio of 50:50.
Finally, be informed that I have all it takes and the data of my late client as the bank may demand in due course.. Therefore get in touch with me as quickly as possible through the telephone number and E-mail above , to enable us discuss more on how to move forward to complete this project successfully. I am waiting your urgent reply.
Thanks and God bless you,
WILLIAM OPONG,PH.d (SAGH)
