Mr. Tony Nkrumah

Accra, Ghana-West Africa.
Telephone +233-276 333 883
Dear VICTIM-FULLNAME,
Re- Immediate benefiting Business Proposal
I am Mr. Tony Nkrumah the Head of Audit Department, in International
Commercial Bank Ghana Limited and for reasons which will become obvious
to you as you read on, I obtained your address particulars from an
Internet address
List searching. Please exercise patience and read through my message.
I have a very urgent and confidential business proposition for you. On
June 6th 2003, a Crude Oil Contractor with the Kuwait National
Petroleum Corporation, Engr. Peter Hoffer , a national of Kuwait, made
a numbered time ( fixed) deposit for 10 banking days , valued the sum
of US$10,000,000.00 (TEN MILLION UNITED STATE DOLLARS ONLY)in my
branch.
On maturity, we sent a routine notification to his forwarding address
but got no reply. After a month, we sent a reminder and finally, his
contract employers, the Kuwait National Petroleum Corporation wrote to
inform us that Engr. Peter Hoffer died on an automobile accident; that
he died without making a WILL, and all attempts to trace his next of
kin
through the Kuwait embassy were fruitless. I therefore made further
investigations and discovered that Mr. Peter Hoffer. had actively
Opposed the Government of his country Kuwait, and was consequently
driven
Into exile before his sudden death.
My proposal therefore is that, I am looking for a foreigner who will
stand in as the next of kin to Mr. Peter Hoffer. It is not necessary to
be a blood relation to Mr. Peter Hoffer, nor have the same name. It is
not
also necessary to come from the same Country. I have worked out the
Modalities to achieve my aim of appointing a next of kin.
Therefore by this arrangement you will be fronted as the next of kin
and the funds will be transferred to your account abroad for our mutual
sharing abroad. Following the Ghana financial policy any money in such
condition (over3 banking years) will be recovered by the government as
an unclaimed funds which this present funds will elapse its duration
next two moths .This is indeed, the situation.
I have mapped out the sharing modalities as thus:
1. 30% of the total sum will be yours, for your assistance.
2. 5% will be set aside for any expenses incurred during the pursue of
the claim and
3. 65% will be for me.
Once I read/hear from you, I will be forwarding to you the legal
document for funds deposition for your legal proves and consequently give you
the bank contacts. Further be rest assured that this is 100% risky free
and will be concluded with 7 banking days.
Do respond immediately by indication the followings if your interested
to champion out this deal with me.
1* Telephone / Cell Number Dear p/s reply this mail.
2* Fax Number.
3* Your Occupation
4* Your Age & Sex.
Yours Sincerely,
Mr. Tony Nkrumah
