[14:32:02] Victorrrowusu: Dear Friend,
Please get back to me honestly for necessary steps regarding this notification, I have been in search of someone with this last name, so when I saw your name I was pushed to contact you and see how best we can assist each other. I am Mr. Victor Owusu, a Banker here in Ghana West Africa.
A Citizen of your country had a fixed deposit with my bank in 2004 for 36 calendar months; valued at ($17,500,000.00 USD) Seventeen Million Five Hundred Thousand US Dollars only the due date for this deposit contract was this 16 of January 2007. My client who shared the same last name with yours died he was among the death victims in the May 26 2006 Earthquake disaster in Jawa , Indonesia that killed over 5,000 people. He was in Indonesia on a business trip and that was how he met his end.
My bank management is yet to know about his death, I knew about it because he was my friend and I am his account officer. Peter did not mention any Next of Kin/ Heir when the account was opened, and he was not married and no children. Last week my Bank Management requested that Peter should give instructions on what to do about his funds, if to renew the contract.
I know this will happen and that is why I have been looking for a means to handle the situation, because if my Bank Directors happens to know that he is dead and do not have any inheritor, they will take the funds for their personal use, so I don't want such to happen. That was why when I saw your name I was happy and I am now seeking your co-operation to present you as Next of Kin/ inheritor to the account, since you have the same name with him and my bank head quarters will release the account to you. There is no risk involved; the transaction will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of law.
It is better that we claim the money, 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. Let me know your mind on this and please do treat this information as TOP SECRET. We shall go over the details once I receive your urgent response strictly through my personal email address, victor1owusu1@yahoo.com
Regards,
Mr. Victor Owusu
Go for it, sounds canny...
