FROM THE DESK OF:MR ADEL YUSUF.
AUDITING UNIT,AFRICAN DEVELOPMENT BANK(ADB)
OUAGADOUGOU BURKINA-FASO,
WEST AFRICA.
PHONE:00+(226)76696103.
Dear Friend,
I am Mr.Adel Yusuf.the Director in charge of Auditing section AFRICAN DEVELOPMENT
BANK(A.D.B)Ouagadougou Burkina-Faso in West Africa.Forgive my indignation
if this message comes to you as a surprise.I have decided to contact you
on a project that will be very beneficial to both of us.
During our auditing in this Bank,I came across some amount of money belonging
to a deceased foreigner who died with his entire family on October 31st
1999 in a plane crash.The fund has been dormant in his account with this
Bank without any claim of the fund in our custody from his relation before
my discovery to this development.He was a contractor/enviromentalist.
The said amount was U.S$2.5M(TWO MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED STATES
DOLLARS).I want you to know that I never master minded the death of the
deceased fellow and his entire family.Their death is a accour naturally.
All the whole arrangement to put claim over this fund as the Bonafide next
of kin to the deceased, has been put in place and directives will be relayed
to you as soon as you indicate your interest and willingness to assist me
and also benefit your self to this great business opportunity.In this country
as a civil servant(A Banker),we are not allowed to operate a foreign account.
This is the actual 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 an account
where he will need the money to be re-transferred into on his request.Our
Banking law stipulates that if such money remained unclaimed after Five
years, the money will be transferred 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.I dont want this money to go into the Bank treasury as unclaimed
Bill.Be assured this transaction is 100% risk free.
On conclusion of this Project,you will be entitled to 40% of the total sum
as gratification,while 60% 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 I conclude this deal with you.
I will fly down to your country or any place we shall agreed on for subsequent
sharing of the fund according to percentages previously indicated and further
investment will be discussed.On your acceptance to be my partner please
email or you call me on phone 00(226)76696103 for a brief discussion before
we proceed.
I look forward to receive your urgent reply.
Yours faithfully,
Mr.Adel Yusuf.
