*Attn.Sir/Madam,
I know we have not met in person but I have a very profiting proposal which
I am sure you can handle. My name is barrister Fransisco Thompson. I am a
Barrister working with the rep utable legal firm - Prudent Chambers in Accra
Ghana and I am only contacting you to help claim deposited funds made by one
of ourclients who was involved in a fatal auto crash accident with his wife
and was flown to London medical hospital and they later died.
Late en gr. Mark clement Mohammad was a personal client of mine and I
managed all their legal affairs. Today, I stand as the only custodian to the
deposit he and her wife made in Time Express Bank affiliated to (ICB BANK)
here in Accra Ghana and now I am faced with the task of providing a
beneficiary for the claim of the fund.The amount deposited by my late
clients is ($15000 000 (fifteen Million United States Dollars Only) and the
bank is ready to release the money to whoever I present a s the beneficiary
and the next-of-kin to my late clients because my late clients issued me a
Power of Attorney duly endorsed in the Ghana High Courts of Justice when
they made the deposit and I was their legal advising counselor on the
deposit and other issues.
Now the Bank where my client deposited the fund demands that I quickly
provide a claimant for the fund because the deposit duration has expired and
needs renewal or withdrawal from their bank otherwise it will be handed over
to the government. Because I have not been able to provide anyone due to my
fears of releasing the money to someone who might run away with it, I am
being very careful about this. I have however decided to try and do this
deal with you whether you are truly related to my clients or not and I pray
you will n ot run away with the money when they release it to you. I will
arrange to formalize your papers so that you can be approved as next-of-kin
to my late clients and the fund can be released to you immediately.
I will draft an agreement between you and i for the sharing of the fund as
soon as you accept to assist in this transaction. I agree to share
fifty-fifty with you but we must bear serious responsibilities on both sides
to ensure the release of the fund into our account.please if you are
interested in this transaction, kindly furnish me with your private
telephone and fax number, your full name and address to enable us move
forward.You may get back to me via my direct email address
prudentchambers1@yahoo.com.cn<http://us.mc581.mail.yahoo.com/mc/compose?to=prudentchambers1@yahoo.com.cn>:May
the almighty God bless you.
Regards,
Barr.f.Thompson*
