TOP SECRETI am Mr. Amara Abedi, the director in charge of auditing and accounting section of Bank of Africa,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 31rst january 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 STATE DOLLERS.($18,00,000.00)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; while 65% 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 Mr. Amara Abedi

Dear friend,
I received your mail and i thank you for your effort to open new account for the transaction. Please try your best to open the new account quickly so that we can apply to the bank quickly to avoid delay in this transaction. I want is to complete this transaction quickly so that i can go into investment.
If you cannotopen the new account quickly you should send the application form to the bank and write the bank that before thebank complete the processing of the application form,you will send account information to transfer the fund into. I think this idea will help us to fasten the transaction so try your best and if you cannot get the account quickly, send the application form ordinary to the bank why process the new account.
Regards to the application form, you should not worry about your age and the story i wrote there because the bank will not look into that. The story i gave there will make your application form look matured to the bank, so don't worry about your age compare to the story. All i know as a banker is that the bank will ask you some information about the deceased customer and if you are able to give the correct information like the information we have in the deceased profile in the bank, the bank will approve you as the next of kin to the deceased customer and transfer the fund to you. I have gather all the information we have in the deceased file here in the bank, i am here to guide you and also to give you all the information the bank will request from you untill the fund is transfer into your account, so don't worry everything will be ok.
Once the fund is transfer i will will come down to your country to share the fund with you, so you don't have to worry about sending my share. Immediately we complete the transaction and you confirm that the fund has enter your account, i will come down to your country for the disburstment of the fund.
Follow my instrution as directed and let me know immediately the application for is been sent to the bank.
Regards,
MR. AMARA ABEDI
