Subject: VERY URGENT AND CONFIDENTIAL
FROM THE DESK OF MR AMARA BEDIE
BILL AND EXCHANGE MANAGER,
AFRICAN DEVELOPMENT BANK -ADB ,
OUAGADOUGOU, BURKINA FASO.
Dear Friend,
( TOP SECRET )
I am MR AMARA BEDIE the manager of bill and exchange at the foreign
remittance department of African Developent bank(ADB).First I must solicit
your confidence in this transaction, this is by virtue of its nature as
being utterly confidential and top secret.Through your maximum assitance I
am assuring you that we will be successful at the end of the day.
I am writing following the impressive information about you through
Burkina-Faso chambers and commerce.
In my departmentn we discovered an abandoned sum of $3.5 milion US dollars
(three million five hundred thousand united state dollars) . In an account
that belongs to one of our foreign customer who died along with his entire
family in november 2000 in a plane crash.
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
somebody applies for it as next of kin or relation to the deceased as
indicated
in our banking
guidelines 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 have decided to make this businness 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 dont want this money to go into the Bank treasury as unclaimed
Bill.
The Banking law and guideline here stipulates that if such money remained
unclamed after four 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.
I agree that 30 % of this money will be for you as foreign partner, in
respect to the provision of a foreign account, 10 % will be set aside for
expenses incured during the business and 60 % would be for me.
There after I will visit your country for disbursement
accoding 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 indicating your bank name, your bank account
number, your private telephone and fax number
for easy and effective communication and location where in the money will
be remitted .
Upon receipt of your reply, I will send to you by fax or email the text
of the application. 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 have been made for the transfer .
You should contact me immediately as soon as you receive this letter.
Trusting to hear from you immediately.
Yours faithfully,
MR AMARA BEDIE
Bill and exchange manager,
African Development bank ADB.
