HELLO! READ & REPLY,

[Mr. Benjamin Opoku]

Hello, business proposal,

My name is Mr. Benjamin Opoku, I am the personal account officer to ENGR. MICHAEL, a national of your country, who was the board chairman of SHELL GHANA LTD. ENGR. MICHAEL, his wife and their only daughter went on vacation and lost their lives in the dangerous earthquake of 2012 which occurred in Indonesia and claimed many lives.

Since then I have made several enquiries to your embassy to locate any of his relatives without success. After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to track his last name over the Internet, to locate any member of his family hence I contacted you. Particularly, my bank, where the deceased has a deposit valued at about One Million Six Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollars (US$1,650,000.00) has ordered me to contact ENGR. MICHAEL's family/next-of-kin or have the deposit confiscated before the end of the next financial term.

I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over 2 years now, hence, I seek your consent to present you as the next-of-kin of the deceased since you have the same last name so that the proceeds of this deposit can be paid/release to you for I and you to share. I propose 50-50 share since we can't do without each other.

I guarantee you that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect your dignity and your reputation from any breach of the law.
As soon as I receive your response, I will give you more details on the way forward.

Sincerely,
Mr. Benjamin Opoku.
