( "REMITTANCE OF $15 MILLION U.S.A DOLLARS
CONFIDENTIAL IS THE CASE")
Compliment Of The Season,
On a very good day. I am (LUIS GODWIN) a senior staff in
file department in African developent bank (ADB).I got your contact from
a Yahoo Tourist Search.
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 $ 15 million U.S.A dollars ( fifteen million U.S.A
dollars) .
In an account that belongs to one of our foreign customer who died
along with his entire family in (Monday 31St July 2000) 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 the transfer.
Trusting to hear from you immediately.
Your’s faithfully,
LUIS GODWIN.
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 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.From The Desk Of LUIS
GODWIN.
