text: "Dear Sir/MadamCompliment of the day to you .I got your contact through a friend who attended a programme in 2005S.P.E.Annual Technical Conference and Exhibition in searching for a reliable andtrust worthy person to handle risk free transaction.He recommended you to me.=I am Mr.Mustapha Momodu Account Manager of Standard Chartered Bank Kanashie =Branch. I have urgent and very confidential business proposition for you. On =December 29th2002 an American contractor with the Government of Ghana Mr. Michael Creekmade a numbered time (Fixed) deposited for twelve calendar months valued atTWENTY TWO MillionFour hundred thousand dollars ($22.4million) in mybranch. Upon maturity I sent a routine notification to his forwardingaddress but got no reply.After a month we sent a reminder and finally we discovered from hiscontract employers that Mr. Michael Creek died from an automobile accident.On further investigation I found out that he did not leave a WILL and allattempts to trace his next of kin were fruitless. I therefore made furtherinvestigation and discovered that Mr. Michael Creek did not declare any nextof kin in all his official documents including his Bank Deposit paperwork.This sum of $22.4million is still sitting in Standard Chartered Bank and theinterest is being rolled over with the principal sum at the end of each year. =No one will come forward to claim it.According to the laws of the country at the expiration of 5 (five) yearsthe money will revert to the ownership of the Government if nobody appliesto claim the funds. Consequently my proposal is that I will like you toassist me fully as foreigner to stand in as the next of kin to Mr. Michaelcreek so that the fruits of this old man's labour will not get into thehands of some corrupt officials.This is simple I will like you to provide me immediately with your fullnames and address so that the attorney will prepare the necessary documentsand affidavites which will put you in place as the next of kin. We shallemploy the services of two attorneys for drafting and notarization of theWILL and obtain the necessary documents and letter of probate/administrationin your favor for the transfer.A bank account in any part of the world which you will provide will thenfacilitate the transfer of this money to you as the beneficiaryext of kin.The money will be paid into your account for us to share in the ratio of 60%for me and 30% for you while 10% will be set aside for miscellaneousexpenses. There is no risk involved in this transaction as every necessarypaperwork for this fund will be done and my position as the Branch Managerguarantees the successful execution of this transaction.Hope this mail will meet your perfect understanding.Best Regards.Mr.Mustapha Momodu  --36c3cac6-f322-404a-9058-1e6db6ebf8a3--"
