Subject: GET TO ME SOONEST


Hello.I sincerely  do  not wish to inconvenience you with my letter for I have an urgent  matter I wish  to discuse with  you  
which  will   benefit you and I. For introduction, I am KOFI APIA, a  Bank  Officer  here  in Ghana. I am having an 
important business discussion, I  wish  to  share  with  you  which I  believe will interest you,  because  it is   in 
connection with your last name and  you  are  going  to benefit  from  it. A  customer  and  client  of  our  bank  had  a  
fixed  deposit with our bank for 96 calendar months, valued at US$15,500,000.00 (Fifteen million Five Hundred United State 
Dollars) the due date for this deposit contract was last 22nd of January 2016. Sadly he was among the death victims of plan 
crash, Last week my Bank Management requested that i should give instructions on what to do about his funds, if to renew 
the contract. My bank management is yet to know about his death, I knew about it because he was my friend and I was his 
account officer prior to his death. If my Bank Directors happens to know that he is dead and do not have any Heir,they will take the funds for their personal use which I will not want such to happen because the money has been in my care 
until date. 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. It is better that we claim themoney, than allowing the Bank Directors to take it, they are rich already.I am not a greedy person, so I am suggesting we share the funds equal, 50/50% to both parties, my share will assist me to 
start my own company which has been my dream.
Due treat this information as TOP SECRET. We shall go over the details once I receive your urgent response strictly through 
my personal email address: I will reply to you with further details about this transaction. Thankingyou as I anticipate your earliest communication.Mr.KOFI APIA
