From Mr.Mohammed Kwame
Auditing and Account manager
International Commercial Bank Ghana
Phone: +233-249-510-316
Dear Friend,
I am Mr.Mohammed Kwame, the director in charge of auditing and
accounting section of International Commercial Bank Ghana,
and also a special account officer of Mr. Marcus Brenner, an
American. He was a seasoned contractor with Benin Cement Company,
Cotonuo,
who Unfortunately died in a plane crash with the Union Transport Africans Flight
Boeing 727 in Cotonuo, Republic of Benin on 25th December, 2003.
You will read more stories about the crash on visiting this website:

2.www.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/africa/12/26/benin.crash/
Before his death on the 25th December 2003, Mr. Marcus Brenner has a
fixed deposit account with the bank and no other person know about this
account or have any information relating to this account. The account has
no beneficiary nor did next-of-kin other than him and my investigation reveal
that his supposed next-of-kin died along with him in the crash. Since then,
I have made several enquiries to locate any of his extended relatives, this has also proved unsuccessful.
After several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to contact you.
I'm contacting you to assist in remittance of a dormant fund as the
next of kin left behind by Mr. Marcus Brenner so as not to allow the bank Confiscate or declare the funds unserviceable according to Benin Republic financial law
on unclaimed bills which the government usually map out for the purchase of
ammunitions which are the major course of conflicts in the west of
Africa. Consequently, I'm seeking your consent to present you as the
next-of-kin of the deceased so that the outstanding fixed deposit
(US$15.3M)
will be remitted into any designated account of yours to be shared by
both of us in the ratio of 60% to me and 40% for you. I have all necessary
legal documents to back up this claim.
All that is required of you is absolute honesty, total commitment,
co-operation & absolute confidentiality. Be rest-assured that this
transaction will be executed under legitimate arrangement that will protect
both parties from breach of the law and it is 100% risk free and attracts no
authorities and every information you will require as the next of kin will
be forwarded to you after your final acceptance to help me champion
this deal.
If this proposal is acceptable to you, kindly email your following
information to me:
1. Full Name(s)
2. Direct phone & fax number(s)
3. Your direct email & any other information you may deem helpful.
Thank you for your cooperation until I read from you. You may also reach
meat
MY Regards
Mr. Mohammed Kwame.
