FROM THE DESK OF DR MELILI AKONA
AUDITING AND ACCOUNTING UNIT.
BANK OF AFRICA (BOA).
OUAGADOUGOU BURKINA-FASO.
{WEST AFRICA}
DEAR FRIEND, URGENT ATTENTION REQUIRED:
I Dr MELILI AKONA, the director in charge of auditing and accounting section
in Bank of Africa ouagadougou-burkina faso in west Africa with due respect
and regards I have decided to contact you on this business transaction that
will be very beneficial to both of us at the end of the transaction.
During my investigation and auditing in the bank, my department came across
a very huge sum of money belonging to a deceased customer, a foriegner who
died on September 11, 2001 in the U S Trade Center mayhem and, the fund
has been dormant in his account with the bank without any claim of the fund
in our custody either from his family or relation before my discovery to
this development. Actually, the late customer was a big merchant who trades
on Gold, Diamond, Elephant tusks and crude oil from Africa to Asia and Europe
and this money he deposites in our bank to pay for his purchases.
Although personally, I kept this information secret within myself to enable
the whole plans and idea be profitable and during the time of execution
( Two is secret). The amount involved is $14 Million usd (Fourteen Million
united states dollars).
Meanwhile all the whole arrangement and directives needed to put claim
over this fund as the bonafide next of kin to the deceased, will be forward
to you upon your acceptance. Information will be relayed to you as soon
as you indicate your interest and willingness to assist me and also benefit
your self to this great business opportunity.
In fact I could have done this deal alone but because of my position in
this country as a civil servant,we are not allowed to operate a foriegn
account and would eventually raise eye brow on my side during the time of
transfer because I work in this bank. This is the actual reason why it will
require a second party or fellow from a foreign nation who will forward
claims as the next of kin with affidavit of trust of Oath to the bank and
also present a foriegn account where he will need the money to be retransfered
into on his request as it may be, after due verification and clarification
to designated bank account.
I will not fail to inform you that this transaction is 100% risk free. On
smooth conclusion of this transaction, you will be entitled to 30% of the
total sum as gratification, while 10% will be set aside to take care of
expenses that may arise during the time of transfer such as telephone bills
etc, while 60% will be for me. Please,you have been advised to keep top
secret as I am still in service and intend to retire from service after
I have concluded this deal with you.
I will be monitoring the whole situation here in the bank until you confirm
the money in your account and ask me to come down to your country for subsequent
sharing of the fund according to percentages previously indicated and further
investment, either in your country or any other country you may advise
me to invest in. All other necessary information will be sent to you when
I hear from you. I suggest you get back to me as soon as possible stating
your wish in this deal and asking any questions that are not cleared by
you for a good follow-up.
Best regards,
Dr. Melili Akona
