Subject: PLEASE YOUR URGENT RESPONSE IS NEEDED
Dear Friend,
I am Dr. George Lamtey. chief corporate officer in the
auditing and accounting department of Standard
Chartered Bank Ghana,Tema-Branch.
I am writing to solicit your strictest confidence and
cooperation over this transaction; after the annual
auditing of the year 2006,I discovered an abandoned
sum of $33,000,000 USD(Thirty Three Millionn United
States Dollars) in an account that belongs to one of
our foreign customers who died along with his entire
family in a plane crash that took place in Kenya, East
Africa, the Late DR. GEORGE BRUMLEY, a citizen of
Atlanta-Georgia, United States of America.
Since we got information about his death, we have been
expecting his next-of-kin to come over and claim his
money because it cannot be released unless somebody
applies for it as next-of-kin or relation to the
deceased as indicated in our banking guidelines but
unfortunately,
all his supposed next-of-kin or relation died along
with him in the plane crash leaving nobody behind for
the claim.
It's therefore upon this discovery that I now decided
to make this business proposal to you to make sure his
balance of fund will ben released to you via your
foreign bank account as the next-of- kin or relation
to the ceased for safety and subsequent disbursement
since nobody is coming for it and this money could go
into the Federal
treasury as "unclaimed Bill".
The Banking law and guidelines here stipulates that if
such money remained unclaimed after four years, the
money will be transferred into the federal treasury as
unclaimed fund and finally get shared among our
corrupt government officials. I think it will be
better for us to put a
major part of this funds into helping people suffering
from aids,orphans, displaced persons, etc and keep
some percentage, instead of letting some dubious
leaders put this funds in their personal pockets.
The request for your assistance and maximum
co-operation as a foreign citizen to stand as the
next-of-kin in this business is occasioned by the fact
that the deceased customer was a foreigner and a
Ghanaian cannot stand as next-of-kin to a foreigner.
I agree to offer you 30% of this money as my foreign
partner as soon as we conclude the transfer into your
account, 10% will be set aside for expenses incurred
during the transfer and 30% would be for me, while we
use the remaining 30% to assist the needy.
If you are willing to work with me
you are to send to me the following information,
through this my private email address
georgelamtey2008@gmail.com

I will not fail to bring to your notice that this
transaction is strictly confidential and i will use my
position in this Bank to effect a hitch free transfer
of this fund into any of your private account.
