Subject: REPLY ME BACK URGENT AND CONFIDENTIAL
Dear Friend,
I am pleased to introduce a business opportunity to you to transfer to your
overseas account a huge amount of money deposited in one of our prime bank
(B.O.A)Bank of Africa here in Burkina-Faso Ouagadougou. I urgently want to
know you and if you are capable of handling and accomodate this magnitude of
funds until I resign and come over to join you for an investment in your
country. What I need is a reliable and honest individual/organisation that
would be capable and fit enough to provide either an existing bank account
or set up a new Bank Account immediately to receive this funds. Even an
empty bank account can serve to receive this funds as long as you will
remain honest to me till we actualise this interest.
My name is Dr. Ahmed Zongo, the Director of Bill and Exchange at the Foreign
Remittance Department of the same bank. I am writing following the
impressive information about you through one of my friends who runs a
consultancy firm. He assured me of your capability and reliability to
champion this business opportunity.
In my department we discovered an abandoned Sum of $15.5M USD Fifteen
Million, Five Hundred Thousand US Dollars), in an account that belongs to
one of our foreign customers an American by name: Mr.Neal Walker who died
along with other passengers in EgyptAir Flight 990 - October 31, 1999.
Please do view this very site for more information about our deceased
client: www.greatdreams.com/PassEAir990.htm.
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 and the
person must be foreigner as indicated in our banking guidelines. Futher
investigation, we discovered that the owner of the account died without a
[Heir/WILL] hence the money is floating and if I do not remit this money out
urgently it will be forfeited for nothing.
It is therefore upon this discovery that I and other officials in bank 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 do not 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 ten years, the
money will be transfered into the Bank treasury account 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 I can not stand as next of
kin to a foreigner,it is also against our the banking law, guideline and
ethics of banks here in my country. I have agreed that 35% of this money
will be for you as foreign partner, in respect to the provision of a foreign
account, 5 % will be set aside for expenses incured during the business and
60% would be for me and my colleagues. There after I will visit your country
for disbursement according to the percentages indicated.
Therefore to enable the immediate transfer of this fund to you as requested
to provide the following: Your full name and address, Your direct telephone
and fax number and your bank information. All the requested information will
enable me perfect all the necessary things in your favour for smooth
transfer of the fund into you account as you will provide.
I shall provide you with more details on how we shall proceed with the
claims. I expect you to observe utmost confidentiality and be rest assured
that this transaction would be profitable for both of us without any risk
involved.
Awaiting your urgent reply
Thanks & Regards.
Dr. Ahmed Zongo.
