Subject: Attn // Wilhelmina ( Urgent Notification )!!!
FROM // THE DESK OF MR HANISH KOFI ,
EXECUTIVE MANAGER,BILL & EXCHANGE
BARCLAYS BANK ( GHANA ) LTD
WEST AFRICA.
TELEPHONE: +233-243772711
EMAIL ( danielturay@email.com )
Dear Wilhelmina ,
I am Mr.Hanish Koffi a Bank Manager here in Ghana. I write you this proposal in good faith, believing that you will not betray me.
I believe it is the WILL of God for us to meet through this means. One Mr. Pedro Brito Rodriguez a US citizen and businessman made a ( Fixed deposit ) with my bank in 2001 for 48 calendar months, valued at US$8,500,000.00 (Eight Million, Five hundred Thousand US Dollars). I was his account
officer before I rose to my present position of a Bill and Exchange manager.
The actual date end for this deposit contract was 20th of August 2005. I have tried to locate him and notify him about the maturity of the fixed deposit, but could not reach him. It was during a decisive effort to get hold of him recently that I discovered he was involved in the American
Airlines flight 587 which crashed on the 12th November 2001. You will read more stories about the crash on visiting this websites;
ttp://www.answers.com/topic/american-airlines-flight-587 and
http://www.prnewswire.com/cgi-bin/stories.pl?ACCT=104&STORY=/www/story/11-14-2001/0001615907&EDATE= where the passenger list of victims was mentioned. I have made efforts to locate any of his relation but without success because the fund cannot be release unless somebody applies for it as next of
kin which i will present and file your name as beneficiary next of kin to the deceased depositor inline with our BANK CODE OF RULES claim.
It is therefore upon this discovery that I now decided to make this businness proposal to you as to release and computrize your particulars of the fund as the next of kin to the deceased depositor for our own mutual use and benefit since nobody is coming for it and i don't want this money to go
into the Bank treasury as unclaimed money.
The Government Banking law and guidelines here stipulates that if such money remained unclamed after a year of maturity, the money will be transfered into the Bank treasury as unclaimed fund as measure to check money laundering.
The request for a foreigner as next of kin and beneficiary in this business is occasioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner and a citizen of ( Ghana ) cannot stand as next of kin to the deceased Escrow Call Depositor Account as Beneficairy of the unclaimed money.
Therefore to enhance the immediate transfer of the money to your account as arranged, you must apply first to our bank and have your application particulars computerize with our bank as next of kin of the deceased depositor indicating your bank name, your bank account number,your private telephone
and fax number for easy and effective communication and location wherein the money will be remitted in your favour .
Let me know how you wish us to share the money, so that both parties will be satisfied. We shall go over the details once I receive your urgent response and please, treat this as top secret.
Upon receipt of your reply, I will send to you by fax or email the Text of the application which you shall recopy,type and sign and send to our bank as the supposed next of kin and beneficairy of the fund.
I will not fail to bring to your knowledge that this transaction is 100% Risk-free both now and in future besides i have already done all the underground works that will lead to the success of this transaction before contacting you.
You should not entertain any atom of fear as all required arrangements have been made for the smooth transfer of the fund Meanwhile,i will use my executive position and rank in office to ensure that the fund is approved and transfered to your account without difficulties or problems.
You should contact me immediately as soon as you receive this mail through my private email address at ( danielturay@email.com ).
Trusting to hear from you as soon as possible.
Yours Sincerely
Mr Hanish Kofi
