ATTN HELPER,
(STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL)
FROM THE DESK OF ( MR. ABUBAKAR YUSUF.)
AUDITING AND ACCOUNTING UNIT /FOREIGN REMITTANCE DEPT.
BANK OF AFRICA (B O A)OUAGADOUGOU -BF
REQUEST FOR THE URGENT TRANSFER OF THE SUM OF TWENTY EIGHT MILLION SEVEN
HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS(US$28.700.000.00) ONLY INTO YOUR ACCOUNT.
You may be surprise to receive this message from me since you don't know me
in person, but for the purpose of introduction., I got your impressive
information through an international business equiry . But I respectfully
insist you read crefully as I am optimistic it will open doors for
unimaginable financial reward for both us. This business transaction might
not fall within the wide spectrum of your business activities ,but I plead
your assistance ,as your flair for profitable business is needed .
Permit me to introduce myself. I am MR. ABUBAKAR YUSUF. the Manager of
auditing and accounting unit at the foreign remittance department of BANK OF
AFRICA . In My department I discovered an abandoned sum of$ 28.7 m US
dollars
( Twenty Eight Million Seven Hundred Thousand US dollars) . In an account
that belongs to one of our foreign customer who died along with his entire
family in november 2002 in a plane crash.
Since I got information about his death, I have been expecting his next of
kin to come over and claim his money because wecannot release it unless
somebody applies for it as next of kin or relation to the deceased
anindicated in our banking guidelines but unfortunately I learnt that all
his supposed next of kin or relation died alongside with him at the
planecrash leaving nobody behind for the claim.
It is therefore upon this discovery that I now decided to make businness
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 I don?t want this money to go into the Bank treasury as
unclaimed Bill.
The Banking law and guideline here stipulates that if such money remained
unclamed after five years, the money will be transfered into the Bank
treasury as unclaimed fund.
The request of foreigner as next of kin in this business is occasioned
bythe 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 foreign partner, inrespect to the provision of a foreign account, 10
%will be set aside for expenses incured during the business and 60 % would
be for me . There after I will visit your country with my family for
disbursement according to the percentages indicated.
Therefore to enable the immediate trnansfer of this fund to you as arranged,
you must apply first to the bank as relations or next of kin of the deceased
indicating your bank name, your bank account number, your private telephone
and fax number for easy and effective communication and location where in
the money will be remitted .
On your acceptance, I will send to the text of application by fax or by
email which you are going to apply to the bank ; and provide materials
confirmation references and inquiries regarding payment formalities from the
payment Agency. I willbe handling official protocols here and expect you to
undertake international responsibilities as I am assuring you of a risk free
transaction provided you display maturity.
Therefore, if you are willing and interested to render
the needed assistance, endeavor to reply through my
email address .
Thanking you in anticipation of your kind considerations.
Yours sincerely.
MR. ABUBAKAR YUSUF
