Good day my dear friend,I hope you are fine and good , I am waiting with
great anticipation to hear from you regarding my offer, I am Rev.Smith
Tamono a director of the above mentioned foundation.I am writing you in
regard to a good friend of mine and founder of Haven Gate Foundation
foreigner who was the managing director of an Oil marketing firm here in
Ghana. He established this foundation to help less privileged,minority
people in our society which it was doing before the unfortunate death of its
founder. I am to conduct a standard process Investigation/Recommendation on
behalf of The Bank Ghana.This involves the late founder of our foundation
who shares the same surname with you and also the circumstances surrounding
his private funds deposited with The National Bank Ghana, The bank contacted
me a month ago as the director of his foundation and a trustee to recommend
a next of kin to the funds since he (Our Late founder) died intestate and
nominated no successor in title over the fund deposit made with the bank
amounting to US$10 Million (Ten Million Dollars). The essence of this
communication with you is to request that you provide me with
information/comments on any or all of the four issues as regards nominating
you to inherit the fund left behind since you are a foreigner with the same
surname hence eligible to stand for claim of the funds. I have therefore
contacted you to be legally nominated as next of kin (inheritor) to Our Late
founder after all inquiries and investigation even with the relevant embassy
has yielded results showing that there is no known or living next of kin.
You are required therefore to answer this questions to enable me make my
recommendation to The National Bank.
A)Can you confirm your willingness to accept this inheritance if you are
legally and legitimately nominated through my recommendation to the bank and
approved to stand as inheritor to this funds.
B)Would you agree to donate 60% of this inheritance to our charity
organization if you are officially recommended to the bank in my powers to
stand as the inheritor?
To know more about our charity organization please contact me. You must
appreciate that I am constrained from providing you with more detailed
information at this point.
Please respond to this mail as soon as possible to afford me the opportunity
to provide you with more information on this matter and upon your consent
proceed with the recommendation of your person to the bank as the inheritor
of the funds.
Thank you for accommodating this inquiry.Remain Blessed.
Rev.Smith Tamono*
