To: k_hasan2003@tatanova.com From: "Douglas Ansah" Date: Fri, 20 Aug 2004 07:46:44 +0530 Subject: Can you be sinsere? Greetings from Ghana. This letter must come to you as a big surprise, but I believe it is only a day that people meet and become great friends and business partners. My name is Mr Douglas Ansah, the present branch Manager of a bank here in Ghana. I write you this proposal in good faith, believing that I can trust you with the information 'am about to reveal to you. Like I said,I have a transaction that will benefit both of us, as your assistance is required as a foreigner. I was the head of Accounts department in my bank head office, but last December I was asked to take position of a Manager of our branch in Kumasi who passed on, so that was how I became the present Manager and discovered a fortune. As I resume duty, I discovered an account with total sum of $12,500,000 million that has not been operated on for the past 4 years. From my investigation, I found out that this account belongs to one Late Mr. Ziya Bazhayev a Russian big time Oil dealer, who unfortunately lost his life in the Yak-40 jetliner on March 9, 2000. You will read more news about the crash on visiting this site;http://www.amarillonet.com/stories/031500/usn_LA0703.001.shtml and http://news.1chinastar.com/ll/English/61934.shtml. I have kept a close monitoring of the account since then and nobody has come forward to claim the money as next of kin to the late Mr. Ziya Bazhayev meaning that no one is aware of the account. I cannot directlytake out this money without the help of a foreigner and that is why I am contacting you for an assistance to claim the funds and share it with me. As the Manager of my bank branch, I have the power to influence the release of the funds to any foreigner that comes up as the next of kin to the account, with the correct information concerning the account, which Ishall give you. I am seeking your co-operation to present you as the next of kin to the account. There is practically no risk involved, the transaction will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from anybreach of law. If you accept to work with me, I want you to state how you wish us to share the funds in percentage, so that both parties will be satisfied. Contact me as soon as you receive this message if you feel we can work together, so we can go over the details. Thanking you in advance and may God bless you. Please, treat with utmost confidentiality. I wait your urgent response. You can as well contact me by fax, 233 27621073. Regards, Mr. Douglas Ansah.
