FROM THE DESK OF ADIM JOHNPAUL
BANK BICIA-B BURKINA-FASO.
BILL AND EXCHANGE MANAGER,
PRIVATE CONFIDENTIAL
I am the manager of bill and exchange at the
foreign remittance department of Banque Internationale pour Le commerceL,
Industrial et de la Agriculture Du Burkinafaso,
I got your contact through Burkinafaso information network online services,I
know that this message will be a surprise to you and it is coming to you
with good intention which will be of mutual benefit for both of us.
In my department we discovered an abandoned sum of $ 20m US dollars ( Twenty
million US dollars) . In an account that belongs to one of our foreign customer
who died along with his entire family in December last year in a plain crash
in Cotonu when going on Holiday with his family.
Since we got information about his death, There is nobody to stand as his
next of kin to come over and claim his money because the bank cannot release
it unless somebody applies for it as next of kin or relation to the deceased
as indicated in our banking guidelines.
It is therefore upon this discovery that I now decided to make this business
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 I don´t want this money to go into the Bank treasury as unclaimed
Bill and it will not be augur well for the fund to be unclaimed.
The Banking law and guideline here stipulates that if such money remained
unclamed after one years, the money will be transfered into the Bank treasury
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 a Burkinabe cannot stand
as next of kin to a foreigner.
50 % of this money will be for you as foreign partner, in respect to the
provision of a foreign account, 50 % would be for me .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 arranged,you
must apply first to the bank as relations or next of kin of the deceased.
Upon receipt of your reply, I will send to you by fax or email the text
of the application which you will fill and send to the office of the Director
Foreign Remittance Department ,
I will not fail to bring to your notice that this transaction is hitch free
and that you should not entertain any atom of fear as all required arrangements
and informations are on my desk.
You should contact me immediately as soon as you receive this letter in
my alternate Email:adim_johnpaul2v2@yahoo.com
Trusting to hear from you immediately.
Your´s faithfully,
ADIM JOHNPAUL.
Bill and exchange manager,
BANK BICIAB Burkinafaso
