Subject: HELLO
Attn,
I am Jude Addo, Senior staff of Ghana Commercial Bank Accra, Ghana. I have being working with the bank for the past (13 years). I got your contact through a reliable source. I was told that you are a God fearing somebody who will not betray me in any way whatsoever.
There is a man from Iraq, an Oil contractor who uses our bank to transfer large sum of United State dollars out of Africa but most unfortunately, he died in a
bomb blast when he went to Iraq to see his family. Before his death, he lodged ($9.5m) Nine million, Five hundred thousand Dollars with our bank without next of
kin in the form that he filled and signed with the bank.
Hence I want to make it a special privilege, to prepare you as his next of kin or the beneficiary of these funds so that both of us can use the funds for investment in your country. Please do send to me your full name, address, telephone and fax so that I can effect your name as the beneficiary of the funds in the high court of Justice here in Ghana and a copy of it will be served to the bank for notification. I am a staff of the bank; there is no risk involved.
Everything has been arranged for the success of this transaction, including how to meet you up when you confirm the funds in your account. We shall contact a
good lawyer who will represent and help you for the valid documents in the High Court of Justice here in Ghana.
A non-residence account will be opened in your name with our bank so that the funds are lodged in to the account that will be opened for onward wire-transfer
into your account in your country. Please be rest assured that this transaction is not a fabrication or whatsoever. All the valid documents are in the Ghana Commercial Bank file and I shall have to remove them from the bank's file scan and send them to you upon request for verification and confirmation of my claim.
Wishing to hearing from you as soon as possible.
Please reply to this address judeaddo2000@yahoo.com
Best Regards,
Jude Addo.
