Sir,
I am Mr.Smith james, one of the Directors in charge Of
Auditing and Accounting section Agricultural
Development Bank in West Africa and also Chairman of
Investigating and Auditing Department of this Bank.
With due respect and regard, I have decided to contact
you on a
Business Transaction that will be very beneficial to
both of us
and our families in future.
During our Investigation and Auditing in this Bank, my
department came across a very huge sum of money
belonging to one Deceased Mr.Morris Thompson 61
years,of Fairbanks, Alaska America who died on January
31st
2000 with Alaska Airlines Flight 261. You can as well
confirm it by yourself through under stated Website of
the incident
http://www.cnn.com/2000/US/02/01/alaska.airlines.list/
As the fund has been dormant in his account with this
Bank without any claim of the fund in our custody
either from his family or relation because he did not
indicate any next of kin to this account incase of
death such as these.
The said amount is U.S $26. (Twenty six Million,
United States Dollars). As it may interest you to
know,I got your impressive information through one of
my good friends who works with the foreign Chamber of
Commerce
here in Accra-Ghana though I did not disclose the deal
to him.
Meanwhile as a Senior Staff in this bank, and the
Director of
Auditing and Accounting, I have in my possession the
certificate of deposit for this fund which you will
present as the bonafide next of kin whom this money
will be transfered in his favour
I need your assistance and co-operation to get this
deal done. Because as a foreigner, you stand a better
position to be presented through documentation as the
next of kin/Partner since the deceased is also a
foreigner, this is the reason why I could not do this
deal alone as a Ghanaian and a Blackman as well.
I will not fail to inform you that this transaction is
100% risk
free. On smooth Conclusion of this transaction, you
will be
entitled to 35% of the total sum as
gratification,while 1% will
be set aside to take care of expenses that may arise
during the
time of transfer and also telephone bills, while
64%will be for
me and my partners.Please, you have been advised to
keep this "Top
Secret" as we are still in service and intend to
retire from service
after we conclude this deal with you. And I assure you
that this
transaction will not last more than 10 working days
and you
confirm the money in your account. I will be
monitoring the whole situation here in this bank until
you confirm the money in your account.
Please get in touch to enable me relate further.
Best regards
Smith james
