Dearest One
Although we have not met, I saw your contacts in INTERNET SARCH,After
much consideration i decided to write you since I cannot be able to see
you face to face at first. I will like you to take your time to read this
mail carefully. I did not mean to embarrasse you with my business proposal
but I seriouslyµ need your assistance. Please this is a confidential matter
and it
requires urgency.
I am MADAM DERA BINTU the manager of bill and exchange at the foreign remittance
department of The African Bank (TAB) ouagadougou burkina faso in west africa.In
my department we discovered an abandoned sum of U.S$12.5m dollars (Twelve
million five hundred thousand USD) in an account that belongs to one of
our foreign customer who died along with his entire family in 11 SEP2001
in a plane crash attack in (AMERICA).
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 guidlines and laws, but unfortunately we learnt that all
his supposed next of kin or relation died alongside with him at the( ATTACK)
leaving nobody behind for the claim. It is therefore upon this , 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.
The banking law and guidine here stipulates that if such money remained
unclaimed after three years, the money will be tranfered into the bank as
unclaimed bill
I therefore agree that 40% of this money will be for you as foreigner partner,
in respect to the provision of a foreign account, 10% will be set asidefor
expenses incured during the business and 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 relation or next of kin to 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.
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 recieve this letter.
Trusting to hear from you immediately.
Yours faithfully,
MADAM DERA BINTU
Bill and Exchange Manager.
