Good day, I am writing to you un behalf of our foreign customer who work
here with a company before his dismissed and no where to found even to get
any of his relatives contacts after all we tried to search for his next of
kind, I personally as the manager have been watching with keen interest to
this account and to see who ever will come to claim this fund but all proved
abortive as no one has come to claim his documents and funds of usd.20.5 m,
twenty million five hundred thousand united states dollars on his account
for a very long time now.
On view of this i have decided to make a search and after searching for a
reliable and trust person who will be loyal and honest while work with me on
release and transferring of this fund out of this bank to an account in your
country so i got to contact you as the banking ethics here does not allow
such money to stay more than six years, because it will be recalled back to
the bank treasury as unclaimed fund. upon this the headquarters on our last
update about unclaimed funds pronounce that starting form the date, if any
one should come as next of kin and provides all the necessary details
consign the deceased will be granted an access to claim the fund, all i want
from you is to work with me while i will provide all those details needed
for the release of this fund.
Kindly send me an email signifying your interest including your telephone
numbers for quick communication. You will be entitled to 40% of the total of
this fund once it gets released. I will not fail to bring to your notice
that this business is hitch free and that you should not entertain any fear
for this is 100% risk free,
I am waiting for your positives reply
Yours sincerely
Mr. George Mensah
