Subject: TRANSACTION PROPOSAL/REPLY SOON
FROM THE DESK OF PRINCE KONEAFRICAN DEVELOPMENT BANK-ADB ANNEXOUAGADOUGOU, BURKINA FASO.PHONE 00226 7642 3460.Dear Friend,I am the manager of bill and exchange at the foreign remittance departmentof African Development Bank (ADB). In my department we discoveredan abandoned sum of US$30m dollars (THIRTY MILLION US DOLLARS) in an account that belongs to one of our foreigncustomer (MR. ANDREAS SCHRANNER from Munich, Germany) who died
along with his entire family in Jully 2000 in a plane crash. FOR MORE
INFORMATION VISIT THIS SITE BELOWhttp://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/859479.stm
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 itunless some
body applies for it as next of kin or relation to the deceased as
indicated in our banking guidlings and laws but unfortunately we
learnt that all his supposed next of kin or relation diedalongside 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 bill.The banking law and guidline here
stipulates that if such money remained unclaimed after fours years, the
money will be transfered into the banktreasury as unclaimed fund.
The request of foreigner as next of kin inthis business isoccassioned 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 foriegn account , 10%
will be set aside for expenses incurred during the business and60% would be for me Thereafter, I will visit your country for disbursement
according to the percentage indicated.Therefore, to enable the immediate transfer of this fund toyou 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 and effective communication and location where in
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 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.You should contact me immediately as soon as you receive this letter.Trusting to hear from you immediately.Yours Faithfully,PRINCE KONEBILL AND EXCHANGE
