"Strictly Confidential"

Dear Friend,

Compliments of the season. You will be surprised to receive this mail, due to the fact that we have not discussed on phone or met before. I am one of member of directors with one of the biggest bank in Ghana.

A foreigner, late Mr. John Schelpert, a GOLD merchant in Ghana, until his death years ago in an Egypt Air Flight 990 banked with us, and he had a closing balance as at the end of July 2005, worth $17,500,000USD, the bank now expects a next of kin as beneficiary to come forward for the claims. Valued efforts have been made by this bank to get in touch with any of his relatives or member of his families have been unsuccessful.

Recently one of the chairmen of the board of directors of the bank called me and told me in confidence and trust to source for a reliable foreigner who would stand as our banker's next of kin. I seek for your permission to present you as his next of kin. You will be presented to the bank as a distance family and there will be documents to cover it up.

I assure you that this transaction is risk free and as soon as I receive the acknowledgement of the receipt of this message in acceptance of our mutual business proposal I will furnish you with the necessary modalities and disbursement ratio to suit both parties without any confusion.

I also require your tell/fax no if you have any. Waiting to hear from you as soon as you receive this mail. I await your urgent and positive response.

Best Regards,
Mr. Abraham Osei.
