ATTN:

I am Abraham Adjei director in charge of auditing and accounting section in Barclays bank Ghana,west Africa.With due respect and regard I have decided to contact you on a business transaction that will be very beneficial to both of us at the end of the transaction.

During our investigation and auditing in this bank, my department came across a very huge sum of money belonging to a deceased person who died on November 1997 in a plane crash and the fund has been dormant in his account with this Bank without any claim of the fund in our custody either from his family or relation before our discovery to this development.

Although personally, I keep this information secret within myself and partners to enable the whole plans and idea be Profitable and successful during the time of execution. The said amount was US$12.5M (Twelve million five united states dollars).

As it may interest you to know, I got your impressive information through my good friends who works with chamber of commerce on foreign business relations here in Accra Ghana. It is him who recommended your person to me to be viable and capable to champion a business of such magnitude without any problem.

Meanwhile all the whole arrangement to put claim over this fund as the bona fide next of kin to the deceased, get the required approval and transfer this money to a foreign account has been put in place and directives and needed information will be relayed to you as soon as you indicate your interest and willingness to assist us and also benefit your self to this great business opportunity.

In fact I could have done this deal alone but because of my position in this country as a civil servant, we are not allowed to operate a foreign account and would eventually raise an eye brow on my side during the time of transfer because I work in this bank.

This is the actual reason why it will require a second party or fellow who will forward claims as the next of kin to the Bank and also present a foreign account where he will need the money to be re-transferred into on his request as it may be after due verification and clarification by the correspondent branch of the bank here the whole money will be remitted from to your own designated bank account.

I will not fail to inform you that this transaction is 100% risk free.

On smooth conclusion of this transaction, you will be entitled to 35% of the total sum as gratification, while 5% will be set aside to take care of expenses that may arise during the time of transfer and also telephone bills, while 60% will be for me and my partners.

Please, you have been advised to keep top secret as we are still in service and intend to retire from service after we conclude this deal with you.

I will be monitoring the whole situation here in this bank until you confirm the money in your account and ask us to come down to your country for subsequent sharing of the fund according to percentages previously indicated and further investment, either in your country or any country you advice us to invest in. All other necessary information will be sent to you when I hear from you.

I suggest you get back to me as soon as possible stating your wish in this deal.

My personal email address: [email protected]

Yours faithfully,

Mr Abraham Adjei

[09-May-14 15:29:34] Mr.Abraham Adjei: From Auditing and Account
Bank Manager
United Bank Of Africa(UBA)
Accra Ghana.

I am a staff in one of the UBA Bank Accra Ghana.
I am writing following an opportunity in my office
that will be of benefit to both of us. I have in
my bank $5.5 million,(Five million five hundred
thousand Us Dollars) that belongs to my late
customer Mr.Hosking xxx ,who happen to have the same last name with you(xxx),unfortunately lost his life in the Tsunami disaster in Thailand 2004,including his wife and Two of his daughters.
Since we got information about his death, we have
been expecting his partner or relatives to come
and claim the fund,it unfortunate no one has come
for the claim of the fund since my late customer died.
I want you to stand as the next of kin to the
deposited fund of my late customer Mr.Hosking xxx
as both of you have the same last name and the
same nationality, I now decided to make this
business with you since nobody is coming for it
and i don't want this money to go into the Bank
account for their selfish use as the fund yet unclaimed.
The banking law and guidelines here stipulates
that if such funds remained after ten years the
money will be transferred into the bank account
for their selfish use, as unclaimed fund.
This fund will be of a great help or assistance to me and you as the bank releases the total fund to you,We are going to share the percentage equally, Your share will be 50% and my own will be the same as soon as the bank releases the total fund to you.
Please note that all necessary arrangement for
the smooth release of these deposited fund to you
has been finalized.I will discuss more in details when I do receive your response. kindly reply to my private email ([email protected]) or send me your email address so that i will send the details to you via email.

Best regards,
Mr. Abraham Adjei
