From: "mashal afraah" <mashal_afraah1@biz.by>
Date: Mon, 14 Jul 2008 09:07:48 +0000
Subject: Hello My Dear friend,
Hello My Dear friend,
How are you doing together with your entire family, I hope all is
well? Please carefully read and understand my reason of contacting you
through this email. I am Mr Mashal Afraah . The chief Auditor Bill and
Exchange Foreign Remittance Unit African Development Bank (ADB).
Ouagadougou Burkina - Faso West Africa.
Here. I am contacting you because of an abandoned sum of Nineteen
Million Three Hundred Thousand United State Dollars. ($19.3 Million)
that was deposited by a late customer of this bank called Mr. Rafik
Bahaa Edine Hariri.
A very prominent man who was doing business transaction with our bank.
He was a citizen of Lebanon. This bank unfortunately lost his life
through assassinated on February 14, 2005 when explosives equivalent
to around 300 kg of C4 were detonated as his motorcade drove past the
Saint George Hotel in the Lebanese capital, Beirut.
The bank has no knowledge about his death. Upon this discovery that i
decided to make this business proposal to you since the banking laws
and guidelines here stipulate that if such funds remain unclaimed here
after nine years, the money will be transferred into the Central Bank
Treasury as unclaimed fund.
My stand to contact you now is that, a foreign has the legal right to
put claim to such deposit followed by you will proof your claim with
the bank. Therefore, I want you to apply as his business partner. This
transaction is going to be a success because, a foreigner is
compulsorily needed to present himself or herself as the next of kin
to this deceased bank customer and hence the beneficiary of the fund
because the fund depositor was a foreigner. I therefore, desperately
need your assistance to claim and receive this huge sum of money into
your account.
For the assistance in this transaction, you will be entitled to 40% of
the total fund in respect of the provision of your bank account and
the assistance you are to render on the process. 55% would be for me
as the originator and initiator of the transaction, and the rest 5%
will be used to off-set any minor expenses which may arise during the
process of transferring the fund into your account. I and my entire
family will leave here immediately for your country in order to share
the profits and we also invest part of my own share over there, as
soon as the fund is transferred into your account.
Please endeavour to keep this transaction very secret and highly
confidential because i will lose my work here as bank staff, where the
bank authority here finds out that you and I are collaborating in this
"Special Deal". Please also be rest-assured that this business is 100%
risk-free, and all the information and data's you will need to make
successful claim of this fund in the bank here are fully ready with me
here.
Note Well: Please urgently confirm your willingness and interest to
assist me by filling and sending back to me the needed information
below and also call me immediately on my private phone numbers: + 226
