- FROM THE DESK OF MR NANA MARTINS CHIEF COOPERATE OFFICER ECO BANK INTL LTD ACCRA,GHANA WEST AFRICA. Dear Sir/Madam, Compliments of the day to you. I am Mr. Nana Martins ,chief coporate officer in the Account and Audit Department of Eco Bank Intl Ltd Accra,Ghana.I am writting to seek your coperation over thistransaction,after the annual auditing of the year 2007,I discovered an abandoned sum of $26,000,000 USD(Twenty Six million United State dollars) in an account that belongs to one of our foreign customers who died along with his entire family in a plane crash that took place inKenya,East Africa,the Late DR. GEORGE BRUMLEY,a citizen of Atlanta,United States of America. Since we got information about his death, we have been expecting his next of kin to come over and claim his money because it cannot bereleased unless somebody applies for it as next of kin or relation to thedeceased as indicated in our banking guidelines but unfortunately,all his supposed next of kin or relation died along with him in the plane crash leaving nobody behind for the claim. It's therefore upon this discovery that I now decided to make this business proposal to you to make sure his balance of fund will bereleased to you via your foreign bank account as the next of kin or relation tothe deceased for safety and subsequent disbursement since nobody iscoming for it and this money could go into the Federal treasury as "unclaimed Bill". The Banking law and guideline here stipulates that if suchmoneyremainedunclamed after four years , the money will be transfered intothe federal treasury as unclaimed fund.I think it will be better for us to put a major part of this funds intohelping people suffering from aids,orphans,displaced persons,etc and keep some percentage,instead of letting some dubious leaders put this funds in their personal pockets. The request for your assistance and maximum co-operation as a foreign citizen to stand as the next of kin in this business is occasioned by the fact that the deceased custo mer was a foreigner and a Ghananian cannot stand as next of kin to a foreigner. I agree to offer you 30% of this money as my foreign partner as soon as we conclude the transfer into your account. 10% will be set aside for expences incurred during the transfer and 30% would be for me,while we use the remaining to assist the needy.You are to send to me the following informations,if you are willing towork with me;NAME: ADDRESS: OCCUPATION: PHONE NUMBER: I will not fail to bring to your notice that this transaction is strictly confidential and i will use my position in this Bank to effect a hitch free transfer of this fund into any of your private account.Please, visit the website below for more informations about the Plane Crash and the tragic death of the deceased and his entirefamily,LateDR.GEORGEBRUMLEY.SITE.http://www.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/africa/07/20/kenya.crash/index.html My conected email address:- (nanamartins14@gmail.com) Yours Sincerely,Mr Nana Martins
