Subject: Call/Reply Immediately;
Your Kind Attention;
I am writing to seek your highly esteemed help/consent in a lasting business relationship of mutual benefit, involving $17.5 million for investment in your country/firm under a joint venture partnership.
First let me start by introducing myself as John S. Mensah, from Cape Coast Ghana, I am the only son of late Engr. Stephen Mensah, who owned a Construction Company here in Ghana, although he was in partnership with late Engr. Robert Brown a national of your country, before the incident that took their life occurred last year.
On Friday 25th of March 2005 at 9am our local time, there was heavy fire accident at Port of Tema Oil Refinery all occupants at the refinery that was on duty lost their lives, unfortunately my father and his foreign partner was involved.
After their sudden death, my mother revealed to me that my late Dad and his foreign partner deposited the sum of $17.5 million with ICB International Commercial Bank Gh Ltd; which was an executed pay back contract between them and the management of Tema oil refinery.
Meanwhile I have made inquiries with the bank management for the release of the fund and was told to Come/present my late father’s foreign partner’s next of kin before the release of the fund because the account was a joint account.
Since then I have made several enquiries to locate any of my late father’s foreign partner’s relatives this has proved unsuccessful, After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to trace over the Internet to locate any of his family member but to no avail.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating my late father’s foreign partner’s relatives for over a year now, I therefore seek your consent to present you as his next of kin to claim the fund so that the fund will be released to us as rightful beneficiaries.
All I require is your honest co-operation to enable us seeing this deal through. I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law and I do not need to remind you of the need for absolute confidentiality if this transaction must be successfully completed.
After the release/transfer of the funds to your country, I will then proceed to your country to enable us plan on the investment project.
If you accept to offer your assistance in this regard, I will need your maximum cooperation and assurance that you will not disappoint or sit upon this fund when it’s finally release/transfer to your country,
You can reach me on: +233 24 680 8221 for more discussions or Reply Immediately only on my private e-mail address: johnmen@katamail.com
I wait for your urgent response/call
Best Regards,
John S. Mensah.
