This scammer wants you to believe there is a fortune from a deceased person and you are needed to help the next of kins to invest the money. There is no money, the scammer only wants you to pay for made up fees to release the nonexistent money.

Dear. Friend,
My name is MR. LAMPTEY HENRY, The director of auditing and accounting section of Eco Bank Ghana Ltd. I am writing in respect of a foreign Contractor Customer of our bank whose name is Late Mr.Paul Smith who perished in a plane crash of Alaska Airlines Flight 261 which crashed on January 15th 2004, including his wife and only daughter.
Since the demise of this our customer, I personally has watched with
keen interest to see the next of kin but all has proved abortive as no
one has come to claim his funds of US$12. 5 million United States Dollars)
which has been with our branch for a very long time.
On this note, I decided to seek for whom his name shall be used as the Next of Kin as no one has come up to be the next of kin. And the banking ethics here does not allow such money to stay more than Ten Years, because the money will be recalled to the bank treasury as unclaimed fund after this period.
In view of this I got your contact through a trade journal when i was making a research on a foreigner i will use in this great opportunity.
For your assistant i will give you 40% of the total amount then 10% has to be mapped out to donate to the motherless baby home, while the remaining 50% will be for me as you will help me invest it properly in your Country. Upon the receipt of your response, I will send you by fax or e-mail the letter of application which you will type sign and send back to our bank to enable us start this transaction.
I will not fail to bring to your notice that this business is hitch free and that you should not entertain any fear as all modalities for the smooth and easy transfer of this fund has been finalized, this transaction will be completed within five banking days of receiving your response, after you apply to the bank as a relation to the deceased.
When you receive this letter, kindly send me an e-mail signifying your decision including your private Tel/Fax numbers for quick communication.
Yours Sincerely,
MR. LAMPTEY HENRY
