Subject: From Mr Donald.M Williams
Good day,
I am Mr.Donald M.Williams, a manager in the Bills and Exchange at the
Foreign Remittance Department of one of the leading banks here in Ghana. I
am writing this letter to ask for your support and cooperation to carry out
this business opportunity in my department.
We discovered an abandoned sum of$12,500,000.00 (Twelve Million Five Hundred
Thousand United States Dollars only) in an account that belongs to one of
our foreign customers who died along with his entire family and wife and two
children aboard Egypt Air Flight 990, which crashed into the Atlantic Ocean
on October 31, 1999.He was an investor in oil and gas industry here in Ghana
and the CEO of SUN Properties.Since we heard of his death,We have been
expecting his next-of-kin to come over and put claims for his money because
we cannot release the fund from his account unless someone applies for claim
as the next-of-kin to the deceased as indicated in our banking
guidelines.Unfortunately,neither their family member nor distant relative
has ever appeared to claim the said fund.
It is in our banking guideline that if none of the relatives come up to
claim this fund after 6years of the death of the late customer,the fund will
be regarded as an unclaimed bill and will be transferred to the bank's
treasury account.Upon this discovery, I and other officials in my department
have agreed to make business with you and release the total amount into your
account as the heir of the fund since no one came for it or discovered he
maintained account with our bank,otherwise the fund will be returned to the
banks treasury as unclaimed fund.
We have agreed that our ratio of sharing will be as stated thus;30 % for you
as foreign partner,65 % for us the officials in my department and 5 % for
the settlement of all local and foreign expences incurred by us and you
during the course of this business.Upon the successful completion of this
transfer, I and one of my colleagues will come to your country and mind our
share. It is from our 65% we intend to import Agricultural Machineries into
my country as a way of recycling the fund.
To commence with this transaction,we require you to immediately indicate
your interest by a return e-mail with the following
information:<willydonald@excite.com
1)Your private telephone and fax number
2.Your full name
Upon the receipt of this,i will inturn get back to you and give you the
mordalities for the bank to approve you as the next of kin.Always keep it
secret but if you can
not handle it,please delete it after reading.
Best Regards.
Mr Donald M.Williams
