FROM THE DESK OF DR.BELLO TANJA
AUDITING AND ACCOUNTING MANAGER,
BANK OF AFRICA (B.O.A)
OUAGADOUGOU-BURKINA FASO.
PRIVATE EMAIL:bellotanja@yahoo.com
Dear Friend,
I am the manager of Auditing and Accounting department of BANK OF AFRICA(B.O.A)
here in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso.In my department we discovered an abandoned
sum of US$20.5m dollars (TWENTY MILION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND US DOLLARS)
in an account that belongs to one of our foreign customer (MR.ANDREAS SCHRANNER
from Munich, Germany) who died along with his entire familyin Jully 2000
in a plane crash.For more information about the crash you can visit this
site:
( http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/859479.stm)
Since we got information about his death, we have been expecting his next
of kin to come over and claim his money because we cannot release it unless
some body applies for it as next of kin or relation to the deceased as indicated
in our banking guidlings and laws but unfortunately we learnt that all his
supposed next of kin or relation died alongside with him at the plane crash
leaving nobody behind for the claim. 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 we don't want
this money to go into the bank treasury as unclaimed bill.
The banking law and guidline here stipulates that if such money remained
unclaimed after fours 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 occassioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner and
a Burkinabe cannot stand as next of kin to a foreigner.
I agree that 30% of this money will be for you as a respect to the provision
of a foriegn account , 10% will be set aside for expenses incurred during
the business and 60% would be for me Thereafter, I will visit your country
for disbursement according to the percentage indicated Therefore, to enable
the immediate transfer of this fund to you arranged,you must apply first
to the bank as relation or next of kin of the deceased with a text of application
form that i will send to you when i hear from you,so i will like you to
send to me your private telephone and fax number for easy and effective
communication and location where in the money will be remitted.
Upon receipt of your respond, I will send to you by fax or email the text
of the application and I will not fail to bring to your notice that this
transaction is a hitch-free transaction and you should not entertain any
atom of fear as all required arrangements have been put together for the
fund to be transfer. You should contact me immediately as soon as you receive
this letter.
Trusting to hear from you immediately.
Yours Faithfully,
DR.BELLO TANJA
MANAGER AUDITING AND ACCOUNTING DEPARTMENT
