Hello good day
I know that this message will come to you as a surprise since we don't
know each other before, but for purpose of introduction, I am
Mr.Patrick L Mensah a Bank Manager of The Barclay's bank Ghana. There
is an account opened in this bank in the year 2012 and since 2013
nobody has operated on this account again.
After going through some old files in the records, I discovered thatif
I do not remit this money out urgently it would be forfeited for
nothing.
The owner of this account is Mr. Bill Blake a foreigner and a doctor
by profession, he owns one of the biggest hospital in Accra Ghana, but
he died since 2014. No other person knows about this account or any
thing concerning it, the account has no other beneficiary and my
investigation proved to me as well that his company does not know
anything about this account and the amount involved is (USD5.5M) Five
Million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars.
I am only contacting you as a foreigner because this money cannot be
approved to now that this message will come to you as a surprise as we
don't know ourselves before.It will also interest you to know that
Barclay's bank of Ghana has been bought over by ABSA GROUP Limited.
With this, its expected that all existing customers of formally
Barclay's bank are expected to apply for the vetting and immediate
release of every pending fund.
Failure to comply with this development will lead to a total
forfeiture of your fund. Therefore, you are expressly advise to get
back to me so I can apply on your behald since you are a foreigner.As
Soon as the fund gets into your account I will fly to your country for
the withdrawal of the fund and sharing and to discuss other
investments plans. At the conclusion of this business, you will be
given 40% of the total amount, and 60%will be for me.
I look forward to your response as soon as possible.
Yours Faithfully,
Mr.Patrick Mensah
