FROM THE DESK OF MR. JOHN ALHASSAN
AUDITING AND ACCOUNTING MANAGER,
BANK OF GHANA (BOG)
WEST AFRICA.
Dear Friend,
I am the AUDITING AND ACCOUNTING MANAGER BANK OF GHANA WEST AFRICA
(BOG) here in Accra Republic of Ghana. In my department I discovered an
abandoned Sum Of US$9.3m dollars (Nine Million Three Hundred Thousand US
DOLLARS) in an account that Belongs to one of our foreign customer Mr.Morris
Thompson,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.
Although personally, I keep this information secret within myself. As
it may interest you to know, I got your impressive information through one of
my good friends who works with Chamber of Commerce on foreign business
relations here in Ghana after a series of praying and fasting though I
did not disclose the deal to him.
Meanwhile as a Senior Staff in this bank, and the Manager of Auditing
and Accounting, I have in my possession all the necessary documents to
perfect this deal by making you the bonafide next of kin/Partner whom this
money will be transferred into your account.
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 Ghanian and a staff
of the bank 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 30% of
the total sum as gratification, 5% will be set aside to take care of
expenses that may arise during the time of transfer and also telephone bills,
while 65% will be for my investment.
Please, you have been advised to keep this "Top Secret" as I am still
in service and intend to retire from service after I 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. And ask me to come down to your country for
subsequent sharing of the fund according to percentages previously
indicated and further investment,either in your country.
All other necessary vital information will be sent to you when I hear
from you. I suggest you get back to me as soon as possible stating your wish
in this deal. I am expecting your urgent reply as soon as you receive this
message. My alternative mail: john_a_1000@yahoo.com
God bless you And your family.
Best Regards,
Mr. John Alhassan.
