Greetings,
I am Mr. Akwansa Raymond.,an accountant at the auditing and accounting section of AMAL Bank of Africa in Ghana.

This money was deposited in a non residential domiciliary account for the purpose of transacting a Gold business here in Ghana. Since her death, the fund has been lying dormant with the bank without any claim, either from her family or relation up to date.
I am contacting you to act as the bonafide next of kin to the deceased. There is no risk in this transaction, as all loop holes has been taken care of, and all necessary information as regards to this fund have been secured.
Be notified that I am still working with the bank and it's only me and my colleagues that are aware of this development, thus treat this proposal as confidential and secret for our security.
I have served the bank faithfully for good number of years and 'am presently preparing for my retirement therefore, I see this as a golden opportunity to be comfortable in life after retirement.
As soon as this fund is secured into your account, I will come over for the collection of our due share.
The sharing mode is as follows: 25% for you the account owner, 70% for me and my colleagues ,while 5% will be set aside for expenses made during the transaction.
