Dear friend.
I am obliged to write you especially concerning this forthnight transaction. My name is Jimmy Harris , and I work in the Credit & Accounts Department of African Develpment Bank Plc. Accra Ghana.I am writing you in respect of a distinguished foreign customer with our bank, who died in a Plane Crash, His name is ENGR.Takashi Saikachi, he was the owner of a great Construction Comapny and a nationality of your country, resident in Accra, here in Ghana. On the Monday 15th April, 2002, my client, his wife And their only child were involved in a plane crash that killed 115 passengers. Let me refer you to the website below;

I have kept a close watch of the deposit records and accounts and since then no body has come to claim the money in this a/c as next of kin to the late Engineer.He had Deposit valued @ $15 mllion United States Dollars in his a/c and the a/c is coded. It is only an insider that could produce the code or password of the Deposit particulars.As it stands now, there is nobody in that position to produce the needed information other than my very self considering my position in the bank as his account officer.
Based on the reason that nobody has come forward to claim the deposit as next of kin,I hereby ask for your cooperation in using your name as the next of kin to the deceased to send these funds out to a foreign offshore bank a/c for mutual sharing between myself and you. At this point I am the only one with the information because have removed the deposit file from the safe.
I will need your full name and address,telephone and fax number for the processing of the transfer in your name and favour. Finally i want you to understand that the request for a foreigner as the next of kin is occassioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner and for that reason alone a Ghana person cannot represent as next of kin. When you contact me, then we shall discuss the ratio of disbursement between us.Trusting to hear from you. I remain Respectfully yours, MR.Jimmy Harris.
African Develpment Bank Plc.(ACCOUNT OFFICER)please reply strictly to my private mail address:(mr.jimmy_harris001@yahoo.co.uk)
