FROM BARRISTER WISLEY EGBULE
SENIOR ADVOCATE OF BURKINA FASO (SAB)
WEST AFRICA.
ATTN: FRIEND,
WITH DUE RESPECT, DONOT BE SURPRISED OR AFRAID TO RECEIVE THIS TYPE OF
MESSAGE FROM ME.
WELL, I AM BARRISTER WISLEY EGBULE, THE PERSONAL RESIDENT ATTORNEY HERE
IN BURKINA FASO TO MR. SHEU YUAN-DONG, THE LATE GOVERNOR OF TAIWAN'S CENTRAL
BANK, HIS WIFE AND ONLY DAUGHTER WITH OTHER FOUR OTHER FINANCE OFFICIALS
RETURNING FROM A CONFERENCE IN BALI DIED IN A PLANE CRASH IN TAIWAN ON FEBRUARY
16,1998. MY CLIENT WAS HAVING AN ABANDON SUM OF FOURTEEN MILLION TWO HUNDRED
THOUSAND UNITED STATE DOLLARS ($14.2M USD) WITH BARCLAYS BANK OF BURKINA
FASO.
THE FACT AND CONFIDENTIALLY, THIS SUM KEPT HERE VERY SECRET WHILE NOBODY
KNOWS EXCEPT HIS WIFE, AS HE WAS A GOVERNOR OF TAIWAN'S CENTRAL BANK, ANYTHING
CAN HAPPEN, SO HE KEPT THIS MONEY HERE IN CASE OF EMERGENCY. UNFORTUNATELY
HE LOST HIS LIVE WITH HIS FAMILY IN THE EVENT OF THE PLANE CRASH, SINCE
THEN I HAVE MADE SEVERAL ENQUIRIES TO LOCATE ANY OF MY CLIENT RELATIVES
BUT ALL MY EFFORTS WERE UNSUCCESSFUL.
ABOVE ALL, SINCE NOBODY IS COMING FOR IT AND I DON'T WANT THIS MONEY TO
GO INTO THE BANKS TREASURY AS AN UNCLAIMED BILL. BECAUSE THE BANKING LAW
AND GUIDELINES HERE STIPULATED THAT IF SUCH MONEY REMAINED UNCLAIMED AFTER
SEVEN (7) YEARS THE MONEY WILL BE TRANSFERRED INTO THE BANK TREASURY AS
AN UNCLAIMED FUND. THE REQUEST OF FOREIGNER AS NEXT OF KIN IN THIS BUSINESS
IS OCCASIONED BY THE FACT THAT THE CUSTOMER WAS A FOREIGNER AND A BURKINABE
CANNOT STAND AS NEXT OF KIN TO A FOREIGNER.
VIEW THIS WEBSITE: www.cnn.com/world/9802/16/taiwan.crash.update2/ AFTER
ALL THESE, I DECIDED TO TRACE HIS RELATIVES OVER THE INTERNET, TO LOCATE
ANY MEMBER OF HIS FAMILY BUT OF NO AVAIL, HENCE I CONTACTED YOU TO ASSIST
ME IN REPATRIATING THE BALANCE OF LATE MR. SHEU LEFT BEHIND TO YOU AS HIS
REAL NEXT OF KIN. FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE, I AGREE TO OFFER YOU 30% AS MY FOREIGN
PARTNER AFTER THE MONEY WILL BE TRANSFER INTO YOUR NOMINATED BANK ACCOUNT
AND 5% WILL BE ASIDE OF ANY EXPENSES DURING THE TRANSFER.
THEREFORE TO ENABLE THE IMMEDIATE TRANSFER OF THE FUND TO YOU AS INDICATED,
YOU MUST APPLY FIRST TO THE BANK AS HIS NEXT OF KIN, INDICATING YOUR BANK
INFORMATION WHERE THE MONEY WILL BE REMITTED.
IT MAY INTEREST YOU TO NOTE THAT I HAVE ALL NECESSARY LEGAL DOCUMENTS THAT
CAN BE USED TO BACKUP THE CLAIM.
ALL I REQUIRE IS YOUR HONEST COOPERATION TO ENABLE US SEEING THIS DEAL THROUGH.
I GUARANTEE THAT THIS WILL BE EXECUTED UNDER A LEGITIMATE ARRANGEMENT THAT
WILL PROTECT YOU AND ME FROM ANY BREACH OF THE LAW. I HOPE YOU WILL WELCOME
THIS LIFE OPPORTUNITY, IF SO PLEASE GET BACK TO ME IN CONFIRMATION OF YOUR
GOOD INTEREST TO ENABLE US START THE PROCEEDURE.
I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO HEAR FROM YOU, SO THAT I CAN SEND TO YOU THE TEXT
OF
APPLICATION WHICH YOU WILL FILL-IN YOUR DETAILS WHERE THE MONEY WILL BE
REMITTED AND TENDER TO THE BANK AS HIS NEXT OF KIN.
THANKS IN ANTICIPATION OF YOUR KIND CO-OPERATION.
BEST REGARDS,
BARR. WISLEY EGBULE.
