DR.ABUBAKA_BELLO
BANK OF AFRICA
BURKINA FASO (BOA)
OUAGADOUGOU - BURKINA FASO.
WEST AFRICA.
DEAR FRIEND/DIRECTOR/CEO
I AM DR.ADAMU_ALIRU AND I AM THE DIRECTOR OF THE ACCOUNTS &
AUDITING
DEPT. AT THE AFRICAN DEVELOPEMENT BANK OUAGADOUGOU - WEST AFRICA. WITH
DUE
RESPECT
I HAVE DECIDED TO CONTACT YOU ON A BUSINESS TRANSACTION THAT WILL BE
BENEFICIAL TO BOTH OF US.
AT THE BANK'S LAST ACCOUNTS/AUDITING EVALUATIONS, MY STAFFS CAME ACROSS
AN OLD ACCOUNT WHICH WAS BEING MAINTAINED BY A FOREIGN CLIENT WHO WE
LEARNT WAS AMONG THE DECEASED PASSENGERS OF AN AIRLINE CRASH ON 31TH
JULY.
2000
SINCE THE DECEASED WAS UNABLE TO RUN THIS ACCOUNT SINCE HIS DEATH. THE
ACCOUNT HAS REMAINED DORMANT WITHOUT THE KNOWLEDGE OF HIS FAMILY SINCE
IT WAS PUT IN A SAFE DEPOSIT ACCOUNT IN THE BANK FOR FUTURE INVESTMENT
BY
THE CLIENT. SINCE HIS DEMISE, NOBODY, NOT EVEN THE MEMBERS OF HIS
FAMILY
HAVE APPLIED FOR CLAIMS OVER THIS FUND AND IT HAS BEEN IN THE SAFE
DEPOSIT
ACCOUNT UNTIL WE DISCOVERED THAT IT CANNOT BE CLAIMED SINCE OUR CLIENT
IS A FOREIGN NATIONAL AND WE ARE SURE THAT HE HAS NO NEXT OF KIN HERE
TO
FILE CLAIMS OVER THE MONEY. AS THE DIRECTOR OF THE DEPT, THIS DISCOVERY
WAS
BROUGHT TO MY OFFICE SO AS TO DECIDE WHAT IS TO BE DONE. WITH THE FEW
PERSONEL IN MY DEPT, WE DECIDED TO SEEK WAYS THROUGH WHICH WE CAN
TRANSFER THIS MONEY OUT OF THE BANK AND OUT OF THE COUNTRY TOO. THE
TOTAL
AMOUNT IN THE ACCOUNT IS TWENTY TWO MILLION TWO HUNNDERED THOUSAND DOLLARS (USD
22,200,000.00).
WITH OUR POSITIONS AS STAFF OF THE BANK, WE ARE HANDICAPPED BECAUSE WE
CANNOT OPERATE FOREIGN ACCOUNTS AND CANNOT LAY BONAFIDE CLAIM OVER THIS
MONEY
WHILE WE WERE CONTEMPLATING ON WHAT TO DO. A FRIEND OF MINE WHO WORKS
WITH THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE AND INDUSTRY RECOMMENDED YOUR PERSONALITY
TO ME
AND ADVISED ME TO ASK YOU FOR HELP, TO TRANSFER THIS MONEY OUT OF THE
COUNTRY. THE CLIENT IS A FOREIGN NATIONAL AND YOU WILL ONLY BE ASKED TO
ACT AS HIS NEXT OF KIN AND I WILL SUPPLY YOU WITH ALL THE NECESSARY
INFORMATIONS AND BANK DATA TO ASSIST YOU IN BEING ABLE TO TRANSFER THIS
MONEY TO ANY BANK OF YOUR CHOICE WHERE THIS MONEY COULD BE TRANSFERED
INTO.
I AND MY PARTNERS HAVE DECIDED TO GIVE AWAY THIRTY % (30%) TO YOU
FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE AND TEN (10%) FOR ANY EXPENSES THAT MIGHT ARISE
DURING
THE TRANSACTION OF THIS TRANSFER. WE WANT TO ASSURE YOU THAT THIS
TRANSACTION IS ABSOLUTELY RISK FREE SINCE WE WORK IN THIS BANK AND THAT
IS
WHY
YOU SHOULD BE CONFIDENT IN THE SUCCESS OF THIS TRANSACTION BECAUSE YOU
WILL
BE
UPDATED WITH INFORMATION AS AT WHEN DESIRED.
WE WILL PLEASE WISH YOU KEEP THIS TRANSACTION SECRET AS WE ARE HOPING
TO RETIRE WITH OUR SHARE OF THIS MONEY AT THE END OF TRANSACTION WHICH
WILL BE WHEN THIS MONEY SAFELY HITS YOUR ACCOUNT. WE WILL THEN COME
OVER
TO
YOUR COUNTRY FOR SHARING ACCORDING TO THE PREVIOUSLY AGREED
PERCENTAGES. YOU
MIGHT EVEN HAVE TO ADVISE US ON POSSIBILITIES OF INVESTMENT IN YOUR
COUNTRY OR ELSEWHERE OF OUR CHOICE. MAY GOD HELP YOU TO HELP US TO A
RESTIVE
RETIREMENT. AMEN.
CONTACT ME ON EMAIL SO THAT WE CAN DISCUSS IF YOU ARE INTERESTED TO
HELP ME.
THANKS AND REMAIN BLESSED.
