Dear Gharib, [Mein Nachname ist Gharib]

I have been in search of someone with this last name "Gharib", so when I saw your name I was pushed to contact you and see how best we can assist each other. I am Mr. John Daniel, the director of the accounts & auditing department in one of the leading bank here in Accra Ghana. I believe it is the wish of God for me to come in contact with you.

One Late Mr. George Gharib, a citizen of your country had a fixed deposit with my bank in 2004 for 36 calendar months, valued at US$9,500,000.00 (Nine Million Five Hundred Thousand United State Dollars) the due date for this deposit contract was this 16 of January 2007. Sadly GEORGE was among the death victims in May 2006 Road Accident in Ghana that killed 46 people.He was on a business trip and that was how he met his end.

My bank management is yet to know about his death, I knew about it because he was my friend and I am his account officer. Mr. GEORGE did not mention any Next of Kin/ Heir when the account was opened and GEORGE was not married and no children. Last week my Bank Management requested that I should give instructions on what to do about his funds, if to renew the contract or present any relative of my late customer Mr. GEORGE, for the claim of the fund or they will have the fund confiscated into the state treasury,if not claimed.

After a long search to find any member of his family to claim the fund but I couldn't, before I found you bearing the same last name with him. 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 GEORGE is dead and do not have any Heir, they will take the funds for their personal use, so I don't want such to happen. That was why when I saw your last name I was happy and I am now seeking your co-operation to present you as Next of Kin/ Heir to the account, since you have the same last name with him and my bank head quarters will release the account to you. There is no risk involved; the transaction will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of law.

The management of the bank is ready to pay the money to any foreigner who has the correct information about the account which I will GIVE to you along with all the LEGAL DOCUMENTS needed by the management of the bank.

It is better that we claim the money, than allowing the Bank Directors to take it, they are rich already. At the conclusion of the transfer you will be given 50% while 50% will be for me, my share will assist me to start my own company which has been my dream. Let me know your mind on this and please do treat this information as TOP SECRET.

I want you to reply directly to my private email address below as soon as possible so that I will send you full details on how the business will be executed.
