CONFIDENTIAL LETTER
Dear Friend,
Please accept my apologies if this request does not meet your personal
ethics as it is not intended to cause you any embarrassment in what ever
form. I got your contact email address from the internet directory and
decided to contact you for this transaction that is based on trust and your
outstanding. I have an interesting business proposal for you that will be
of immense benefit to both of us. Although this may be hard for you to
believe because i know that there is absolutely going to be a great doubt
and distrust in your heart in respect of this email as this might sound
strange to you and coupled with the fact that, so many individuals have
taken possession of the Internet to facilitate their nefarious deeds,
thereby making it extremely difficult for genuine and legitimate persons to
get attention and recognition. Please grant me the benefit of doubt and
hear me out.
My name is Mr. Richard Boateng, I work with Fidelity Bank , Accra Ghana. I
discovered an abandoned sum of $18.500,000.00 dollars in an account that
belongs to one of our foreign customers Late Dr. Eric, an American citizen
who unfortunately lost his life and his entire family in Montana plane
crash on March 23, 2009, on their way to a group ski vacation.The choice of
contacting you is aroused from the geographical nature of where you live,
particularly due to the sensitivity of this transaction and the
confidentiality herein.
Now our bank has been waiting for any of the relatives to come up for the
claim but nobody has done that. I personally tried to locate any member of
his family but have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for 7 years
now, i have also checked the deposit documents and discovered that he did
not declare any next of kin on the deposit. Now the Management of our bank
as instructed me to look for the next of kin or they will convert the funds
into the Government Treasury Account as unclaimed funds and the funds will
be wasted. Therefore, I cannot claim these funds without presenting a
foreigner to stand as next of kin. This is reason why I contacted you to
seek your consent to present you as an next of kin so that the funds will
be release to you, then we share it 50% for me and 50% for you because am
not a greedy person and is deal between me and you.
I have employed the service of an Attorney who will secure all necessary
legal documents that could be used to back up this claim. All the attorney
need to do is to fill in your names to the documents and legalize it in the
Court here to prove you as the legitimate next of kin to the late depositor
Dr. Erin Jacobson then the bank will release the funds to you as the
rightful beneficiary. This is a fair deal without any risk attached either
on your part or on my part as long as we comply with the laws governing the
claiming of funds in our establishment.
All I require is your honest co-operation to enable us sees this deal
through, and with my position in the bank as a bank manager, I will do
every thing possible to protect your interest and to make sure everything
workout successfully. If you are interested in this deal, kindly send me
your complete information, your full names and address, Your Private
telephone and Fax numbers, and Cell phone so that the attorney will start
processing the necessary paperwork that would facilitate the release of the
funds to you. Please send me email: ( [email protected] ).
