Dear Loved one,
I got your email address through my internet search, And I'm contacting
you for a business which I believe that you are capable to handle, below
is the business proposal go through it very well and get back to me please,
so we can proceed immediately.
Atten, Please. I am the manager of bill and exchange at the foreign remittance
department of African Development Bank (ADB)here in Ouagadougou, Burkina
Faso the bank's annex office.
In my department we discovered an abandoned sum of $ 10.3M US dollars (ten
million and three hundred thousand us dollars) In account that belongs to
one of our foreign customer who died along with his entire family in 27th
November 2001 in a 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 cannot release it unless
some body applies for it as next of kin or relation to the deceased as indicated
in our banking guide-lines and laws but unfortunately we learnt that all
his supposed next of kin or relation died alongside with him at the plane
crash leaving nobody behind for the claim.
It is therefore upon this discovery that I now decided to make this business
proposal to you and release the money to you as the next of kin or relation
to the deceased for safety and subsequent disbursement since nobody is coming
for it and we don't want this money to go into the bank treasury as unclaimed
fund.
The banking law and guide-line here stipulates that if such money remained
unclaimed after fours years, the money will be transferred into the bank
treasury as 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.
I agree that 30% of this money will be for you as a respect to the provision
of a foreign account, 10% will be set aside for expenses incurred during
the business and 60% would be for .Thereafter, I will visit your country
for disbursement according to the percentage indicated.
Therefore, to enable the immediate transfer of this fund to you as arranged,you
must apply first to the bank as relation or next of kin of the deceased
indicating your bank name, your bank account number, your private telephone
and fax number for easy communication. Upon receipt of your reply, I will
send to you by fax or email a text of application which you will send to
my department indicating for transfer of this money to your appointed account.
I will not fail to bring to your notice that this transaction is hitch-free
and that you should not entertain
any atom of fear as all required arrangements have been made for the transfer.
Please send your reply mail to this email address veromantu222@yahoo.com.au)you
should contact me immediately as soon as you receive this mail.
Trusting to hear from you immediately.
Yours Faithfully
Mrs. Veronica Mantu.
Bill and exchange manager,
ADB Bank
