FROM THE DESK OF
MR. EVANS OFORI
THE TRUST BANK LIMITED
REINSURANCE HOUSE 68 KWAME NKRUMAH AVENUE ADABRAKA,
P. O. BOX ,1862
ACCRA-GHANA,WEST AFRICA.
My Dear ,
I am Evans Ofori,working with the above named bank. It is a pleasure to
communicate with you. I am the (GM, Operation & Systems) with THE TRUST BANK
LIMITED. A reputable commercial bank here in Accra Ghana west Africa. I hope
you are not surprised either to receive my proposal since we do not know
each other personally.Probably you may have received a proposal of this
sort before or may be you have not, whatever i want you to know that i am a
man of peace with my lovely family and i am compelled to contact you in this
transaction for the benefit of the two of us.
This is the transaction in a nut shell ,Mr.Raymond Beck an American oil
merchant opened a safe deposit account with our bank and made an initial
deposit of US $11.5 million in bonded $100 bills in safe deposit box number
TTBLG5073.He never showed up again. And since there has not been any deposit
nor withdrawal on this account for the past eight years now.
As the GM, Operation & Systems so i decided to carry out a routine thorough
investigation in which i discovered lately that Mr.Raymond beck died along
side with the wife on Egypt Air Flight 990 confirm able from the below
website:
(http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/502503.stm )
And since then Nobody has come forward as the next of kin to claim the money
because he did not declare any next of kin in his file during the initial
deposit .
Therefore,since you are a foreigner I want you to stand in as the deceased
next of kin so that we can claim the money as soon as you indicate your
interest to work with me before my bank directors will discover the
existence of this fund and divert it into their personal bank account or
into the bank treasury if no one come for the claim. I will do the
necessary documentation here in my bank as the chief Executive.You do not
have to bother. The whole document bearing the name of Mr.Raymond Beck will
be retrieved by me. There is practically no risk involved and I assure you
that I will use my privilege position to ensure a smooth transaction.
I am prepared to give you 30% of the total sum at the end of this
transaction as soon as this money is in your possession.
Contact me urgently by email for more details if it interest you to work
with me.
I am waiting to hear from you .
Regards,
Evans Ofori
