Dear Friend,
My Dear friend, My name is Anup Thapa I work with one of the Commercial Bank
here in Ghana as a Senior Branch Officer in Depository Department , I have
packaged a transaction that will be of mutual benefit to us.
As an Officer it is my duty to send a financial report of all dormant
accounts to my head office at the end of each financial year.
During the dormant account verification process, I came across a certain
detail of one Mr. .Bernhard Vogt, a Dutch national who deposited $25 million
dollars in an Investment Privilege Account (IPA) this amount was deposited
in our bank to enable
Mr. Bernhard acquire a local mining industry in remote part of Ghana, but on
April 5th 2005, he died in an Auto accident , and on the forms he filled in
our bank account opening forms he did not yet mentioned his next of kin.
I made so many enquiries to get to any of his known relatives but no
successes and my bank management are waiting for my report. If I inform them
that I can't trace Mr. Bernard's relative, they will share the funds within
the bank management, for this reason I want you to become the next of Kin to
enable me and you claim the funds and use it for investment and to help the
poor.
It is very simple and risk free as I have all documentation which I got from
Mr. Bernhard's file to make you the beneficiary.
THE PROCESS
1. I will make a recommendation to our bank that you are a relation to late
Mr. Bernhard
And that they should pay to you the outstanding fund and all accrued
interest.
2. You will write to our bank that you are a relation to late Mr.Benhard and
that he had informed you about the deposit in our bank, you will inform the
bank to transfer the outstanding US$25 million to your account overseas.
3. The bank will request that you send all the document of deposits that was
issued to Mr. .Bernhard; this is to prove that really you are his relation.
4. I will send to you all the requested documents and you will forward same
to our bank
5. Our bank will approve the payment to your nominated account, then as soon
as funds is in your account, I will then travel to meet with you, and to
share the proceeds, you will be entitled to 35% of the total amount while
65% is for me and my partners.
I hope that you keep this transaction with strictest confidentiality.

transaction.
