Dear Friend
This business is for company director and company owners only.
You will be confused as of the writer since i have no previuos
correspondence with you, but kindly permit me the privilege of taking a
little of your time.
First,I must solicit your confidence in this project.This is so, by virtue
of its nature as being utmostly confidential and top-secret.
Though,I know that a project of this magnitude will make
anyone apperhensive and worried, but I am assuring you that all will be
result-oriented at the end of the Project.
I have decided to contact you due to the urgency of this project,through an
International Business Enquiry on the Internet.
I am Mr JUBRIL AHMED the director of bill and computer at the foreign
remittance AFRICAN DEVELOPMENT BANK. In my departmentn we discovred an
abandoned sum of $ 25.5.million US dollars (TWENTY FIVE POINT FIVE US
dollars) In an account that belongsto one of our foreign customers who died
along with his entire family some years ago in a plane crash. Since we got
information about his death, we have been expecting his next of kin to come
forward and claim his money because the bank cannot release it unless
somebody applies for it as next of kin or relation to the deceased person as
indicated in one of our banking rules and regulation but unfortunately we
learnt that all his supposed next of kin or relatives died alongside with
him at the plane crash leaving nobody behind for the claim.
It is therefore upon this discovery that I'm making this business proposal
to you and release the money into your account as the next of kin or
relation to the deceased customer for safety and subsequent disbursment.
If nobody comes fort , the fund will automatically be transfered into
bank's treasury. The Banking law and guideline here stipulates that if such
money remained unclamed after four to five years, it 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.
I agree that 40 % of this money will be for you as foreign partner in
respect to the provision of a foreign account and other neccessary
assistance for the smooth transfer, 10 % will be set aside for any expenses
incured during the curse of transfer and
50 % would be for me. There after I shall visit your country for
disbursement according to the percentages indicated.
Therefore to enable the immediate transfer of this fund to you as arranged,
you must apply first to the bank as relations or next of kin to the deceased
person indicating your bank name, account details, your private telephone
and fax numbers for easy and effective communication and location where the
money will be remitted.
Upon receipt of your reply, I shall send to you a specimen of application
which you will forward to the paying bank introducing yourself and at the
same time instructing bank to effect the release of
the fund into your account. I must not hesitate to bring to your notice that
this transaction is hitch free on both sides as the nature of your business
in not connected to this transfer, so you should not entertain any atom of
fear as all required arrangements have been made for the transfer.
Contact me immediately on the above email account as soon as you receive
this message to indicate your interest and willingness to co operate.
Trusting to hear from you immediately.
