FROM ALIYU MUOSSA.
AFRICA DEVELOPMENT BANK.
BURKINA FASO.
Iam the manager of bill and exchange at the foreign remmittance departmentof
Africa Development Bank.
In my department we discovered an abandoned sum of US $15.5 dollars(fifteen
million five hundred thousand US Dollars) in an account that belongs to
one of our foriegn customer who died along with his entirer family in November,1998in
plane crash.
Since we got information about his death, we have been expecting his next
of kin to come over and claim his money because we can not release it unless
somebody applies for it as next of kin or relation to the decease as indicated
in our banking guidlines and laws, but unfortunately we learnt that all
his supposed next of kin or relation died along side with him at the plane
clash leaving no body behind for the claim. It is therefore uponthis discovery
that I and other officials in my department now decided to make this business
proposal to you and release the money to
you as the nextof kin or relation to the decease for safety and subsequent
disbursement
since nobody is coming for it and we dont want this money to go into the
bank treasury as unclaimed bill.
The banking law and guidline here stipulates that if such money remained
unclaimed after five years, the money will be transfered into the bank treasure
as unclaimed fund. The request of a foreigner as next of kin in this businessis
occassioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner and a burkinabe
cannot stand as next of kin to a foreigner.
We agree that30% of this money will be for you as a foreign partner,in
respect to the provision of a foreign account, 10% will be set aside for
expenses incurred during the business and 60% will be for me and my collegues.There
after I and my collegues will visit your country fordisbursment according
to the percentages indicated.
Therefore, to enable the immediate transfer of the fund to you as arrange,you
must apply first to the bank as relation or next or kin of the deceased
indicating your bank name, your bank account, your private telephone and
fax number for easy and effective communication,location where in the money
will be remitted.
Upon receipt of your reply, i will send to you by fax or email the textof
the application. I will not fail to bring to your notice that this businessis
hicth-free and that you should not entertain any atom of
fear as all required arrangements have been made for the transfer.
You should contact me immediately as soon as you receive this letter.
Trusting to hear from you immediately.
Yours faithfully,
ALIYU MUOSSA.
