Subject: TREAT AS URGENT AND CONFIDENTIAL.
Dear Friend,
TOP SECRET
I am Sulihatu Yinus,the director in charge of auditing and accounting
section of Africa Development Bank,Ouagadougou Burkina faso West Africa with due respect and regard.I have decided to contact you on a business
transaction that will be very beneficial to both of us at the end of the
transaction.
During our investigation and auditing in this bank , my department
came across a very huge sum of money belonging to a deceased person who died on July 2000 in a plane crash and the fund has been dormant in his
account with this Bank with out any claim of the fund in our custody either
from his family or relation before our discovery to this developement.
The said amount was EIGHTHEEN MILLION united states
dollars.($18000.000.00)Meanwhile all the whole arrangement to put the
claim over this fund as the bonafide next of kin to the deceased;get the
required approval and transfer this money to a foriegn account has been put in place and directives and needed information will be relayed to you as
soon as you indicate your interest and willingness to assist us and also
benefit your self to this great business opportunity.
Infact i could have done this deal alone but because of my position
in this country as a civil servant(A Banker),we are not allowed to
operate a foriegn account and would eventually raise an eye brow on my side during the time of transfer becuase i work in this bank. This is the
reason why it will require a second party or fellow who will forward
claims as the next of kin to the bank and also present a foriegn
account where he will need the money to be retransferred into on his
request as it may be after due verification and clarification by the
correspondent branch of the bank where the money will be remitted from to your own designation bank account.
I will not fail to inform you that this transaction is 100% risk
free.On smooth conclusion of this transaction;you will be entitled to 30%of
the total sum as gratification;while5% will be set aside to take care of
expenses that may arise during the time of transfer and also
telephone bills; while65%will be for me.Please;you have been adviced to keep top secret as i am still in service and intend to retire from service
after we conclude this deal with you.
I will be monitoring the whole situation here in this bank until you
confirm the money in your account and ask me to come down to your
country for subsequent sharing of the fund according to percentages
previously indicated and further investment,either in your country or
any country you advice us to invest.All other necessary vital information
will be sent to you when i hear from you.
I look forward to receive your email .
Yours faithfully
Sulihatu Yinus.
