Subject: Re: From Fred.
Hello,
I decided to write you this proposal in good faith, believing
that you will not betray me. I have been in search of someone
with the same last name of our late customer and close friend of
mine (Mr. Richard), heence I contacted you Because both of you
bear the same surname and coincidentally from the same country,
and I was pushed to contact you and see how best we can assist
each other. Meanwhile I am Mr. Fred Gamba, a reputable banker
here in Accra Ghana.
On the 15 January 2009, the young millionaire (Mr. Richard) a
citizen of your country and Crude Oil dealer made a fixed deposit
with my bank for 60 calendar months, valued at US $ 6,500,000.00
(Six Million, Five Hundred Thousand US Dollars) and The mature
date for this deposit contract was on 15th of January, 2015. But
sadly he was among the death victims in the 03 March 2011,
Earthquake disaster in Japan that killed over 20,000 people
including him. Because he was in Japan on a business trip and
that was how he met his end.
My bank management is yet to know about his death, but I knew
about it because he was my friend and I am his Account
Relationship Officer, and he did not mention any Next of Kin /
Heir when the account was opened, because he was not married and
no children. Last week my Bank Management reminded me again
requested that Mr. Richard should give instructions on what to do
about his funds, if to renew the contract or not.
I know this will happen and that is why I have been looking for a
means to handle the situation, because if my Bank Directors
happens to know that he is dead and do not have any Heir, they
will take the funds for their personal use, That is why I am
seeking your co-operation to present you as the Next of Kin /
Heir to the account, since you bear same last name with the
deceased customer.
There is no risk involved; the transaction will be executed under
a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of
law okay. So It’s better that we claim the money, than allowing
the Bank Directors to take it, they are rich already. I am not a
greedy person, so I am suggesting we share the funds in this
ratio, 50% 50, ie equal.
Let me know your mind on this and please do treat this
information highly confidential.
I will review further information to you as soon as I receive
your
positive response.
Have a nice day and I anticipating your communication.
With Regards,
Fred Gamba.
