( "REMITTANCE OF $12 MILLION U.S.A DOLLARS
CONFIDENTIAL IS THE CASE")
Greetings,
On a very good day. I am (IBRAHIM MUSAH Esq),a senior staff in file
department in African developent bank (ADB).I got your contact from a
tourist from your country who was in this country and transacted a business
with our bank.
When i was searching for a foreign partner i assured of your capability
and reliability to champion this businees opportunity when i prayed to God
or Allah about you.In my department we discovered an abandoned sum of $ 12
million U.S.A dollars ( twelve million U.S.A dollars) . In an account that
belongs to one of our foreign customer who died along with his entire family
in 26th november 1999 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 somebody applies for it as next of
kin or relation to the deceased as indicated in our banking guidelines, 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 and one official in my department
now decided to make this 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 we 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 by the fact that the customer was a foreigner,
and a Burkinabe cannot stand as next of kin to a foreigner. We agree that
30 % of this money will be for you as foreign partner, in respect to the
provision of a foreign account, 10 % will be set aside for expenses incured
during the business and 60 % would be for ;me and my woman colleague. There
after I and my colleague will visit your country 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 the money will be remitted.Upon receipt of your reply, I will
send to you by fax or email the text of the application. 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 thetransfer.
You should contact me immediately as soon as you receive this letter.
Trusting to hear from you immediately.
Your’s faithfully,
IBRAHIM MUSAH (Esq.)
POST SCRITUM:You have to keep everything secret as to enable the transfer to
move very smoothly in to the account you will prove to the bank.As you
finished reading this letter call me immediately on my cell. line
00226-76-509-277 so that we discuss very well over this business.Please call
me and inform me that you received my mail, because i don't go to net
always.
