PLEASE TREAT WITH UTMOST URGENCY AND CONFIDENTIALITY

Greetings,

I am Mr. Smith Martins, a manager in the Bills and Exchange at the Foreign
Remittance Department of one of the leading banks here in Ghana. I am
writing this letter to ask for your support and co-operation to carry out
this business opportunity in my department.

We discovered an abandoned sum of $12,500,000.00 (Twelve Million, Five
Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) in an account that belongs to one
of our foreign customers who died along with his entire family a wife and
two children on 21st of November 2001 in an auto crash.

Since we heard of his death, we have been expecting his next-of-kin to
come over and put claims for his money as the heir, as we cannot release
the fund from his account unless someone applies for claim as the
next-of-kin to the deceased as indicated in our banking guidelines.
Unfortunately, neither their family member nor distant relative has ever
appeared to claim the said fund. It is in our banking guideline that if
none of the relatives come up to claim this fund after six years of the
death of the late customer, the fund will be regarded as an unclaimed bill
and will be transferred to the bank's treasury account.

Upon this discovery, I and other officials in my department have agreed to
make business with you and release the total amount into your account as
the heir of the fund since no one came for it or discovered he maintained
an account with our bank, otherwise the fund will be returned to the banks
treasury as unclaimed fund. We have agreed that our ratio of sharing will
be as stated thus; 30% for you as a foreign partner, 65% for us the
officials in my department and 5% for the settlement of all local and
foreign expenses incurred by us and you during the course of this
business.

Upon the successful completion of this transfer, I and one of my
colleagues will come to your country and mind our share. It is from our
65% we intend to import Agricultural Machineries into my country as a way
of recycling the fund. To commence this transaction, we require you to
immediately indicate your interest by a return e-mail with the following
information:

1. Your private telephone and fax number.

2. Your country of origin and residence.

3. Your contact address.

4. Your age.

5. Full name.

6. Confidential/ private email address.

Upon the receipt of this, I will in turn get back to you and give you the
modalities for the bank to approve you as the next-of-kin. Note also,
this transaction must be kept confidential because of its nature. I look
forward to receiving your prompt response.

Please get back to me at my private email: [email protected]

Regards
Smith Martins.
