Greetings.
My name is Mrs. Evelyn Acheampong, the Manager, Credit and Foreign Operations of THE TRUST BANK LTD. I am writing in respect of a foreign customer of my Company with Deposit File number DLX 100412/HFL/02 who perished in a plane crash [Ecuadorian Airline] Boeing 727-100 that crashes in the Andes Mountain in Southern Colombia that k ills 92 passengers aboard, in year (2002) Our deceased customer was on a holidays trip with his wife. Since the demise of this our customer. I have personally watched with Keen interest to see the next of kin but all has proved abortive as no one has come to claim his funds of US$ 9.2 Million, [Nine million Two hundred thousand united states dollars] which has been with my branch Office for a very long time. On this note, I decided to seek for whom his name shall be used as the Next of kin as no one has come up to be the next of kin. And the Ethics law of my Finance Company does not allow such money to stay more than FIVE YEARS because this
money will be recalled to the Companys treasury as unclaimed funds after this period.
In view of this I got your contact through a search on the Internet. I shall give you 40% of the total sum. I will not fail to bring to your notice that this business is hitch free and that you should not entertain any f ear as all modalities for Fund transfer can be finalized within fourteen working days, after you Apply to the Finance House as a relation to the deceased. When you receive this letter. Kindly send me e-mail signifying Your Decision including your private telephone/ fax numbers for quick Communication. Later I will guide you on how we shall proceed on this deal.
Sincerely,
MRS. EVELYN ACHEAMPONG
Manager, Credit & Foreign Operations.
