From the Auditor,
Head of Department
African Development bank
Accra- Ghana
My dear,
I am Mr Joseph Kufur, internal Auditor with African Development bank, Accra,
Ghana, and for reasons which will become obvious to you as you read on,
I obtained your address particulars from an Internet address listing. Please
exercise some patience and read through my message.
I have a very urgent and confidential business proposition for you. On June
6th 1999, a Gold Consultant/Contractor with the Ghanaian National Gold Corporation,
Mr. Ahmed Youseff Mustafa , a national of kuwait, made a numbered time (
fixed) deposit for 12 calendar months, value USD26,500,000.00 (TWENTY SIX
MILLION, FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS) in my
branch.
On maturity, we sent a routine notification to his forwarding address but
got no reply. After a month, we sent a reminder and finally, his contract
employers, the Ghanaian National Gold Corporation wrote to inform us that
Mr. A Y Mustafa died on an automobile accident; that he died without making
a WILL, and all attempts to trace his next of kin through the kuwait embassy
were fruitless. At first I was surprised that I did not receive much official
cooperation in my inquiries in order to trace his kin in kuwait, and inform
them about Mr. Mustafa?s deposit of USD26.5m plus accrued interest. I therefore
made further investigations and discovered that Mr. Mustafa had actively
opposed the Government of his country kuwait, and was consequently driven
into exile. Being a minning Expert,he subsequently obtained a job with the
Ghananian National Gold Corporation, and settled in Ghana. He did not
declare any kin in his application paperwork, contrary to laid down procedures,
and when I asked him he informed me that he wished it so. I accepted his
application because banks are conservative and will always honour a customer?s
wishes, especially high networth customers. My proposal therefore is that,
I am looking for a foreigner who will stand in as the next of kin to Mr.
Mustafa. It is not necessary to be a blood relation to Mr. Mustafa, nor
have the same name. It is not also necessary to come from the same Country.
I have worked out the modalities to achieve my aim of appointing a next
of kin, and therefore, by this means transfer this money total USD26.5M
abroad for us to share. No one will ever come forward to claim it now,
and according to Ghanaian law,after 9 years, the money will automatically
revert to the Federal Government Treasury if the Account owner is a foreigner,
and certified dead, and there is no valid claim. This indeed, is the situation.
The money transfer paperwork itself will include a certificate of origin
so that the receiving bank does not ask questions or refuse the money as
money laundering. Also, the paperwork will include proper certification
that the funds being transferred are from non criminal sources. In short
this will be a proper and legal money transfer and there is no risk!.
Once you indicate your interest I will initiate the processing of the transfer
and in about 14 working days the money total USD26.5m will be in your nominated
bank account for us to share in the ratio of 70% for me and 30% for you.
Looking forward to your urgent reply.
Yours truly
Joseph Kufur
