HELLO MY DEAR,
I AM DR. AHMED, THE MANAGER OF BILLS AND EXCHANGE AT THE FOREIGN
REMITTANCE DEPARTMENT OF THE BANK OF AFRICA, BURKINA FASO. I AM WRITING
THIS LETTER TO ASK FOR YOUR SUPPORT AND CO-OPERATION TO CARRY OUT THIS
BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY IN MY DEPARTMENT.
I DISCOVERED AN ABANDONED SUM $15.4M USD FIFTENN MILLION FOUR HUNDRED
THOUSAND UNITED STATES DOLLARS IN AN ACCOUNT THAT BELONGS TO ONE OF OUR
FOREIGN CUSTOMER (MR. MIHAI ALIMANESTIANU)FROM UNITED STATE OF AMERICA WHO
DIED ALONG WITH HIS ENTIRE FAMILY ON 19TH SEPTEMBER 1989 IN DC10 PLANE OF
THE UTA COMPANY, FLIGHT NUMBER UT 772, BRAZZAVILLE-PARIS.
SINCE WE GOT INFORMATION ABOUT HIS DEATH, WE HAVE BEEN EXPECTING HIS NEXT
OF KIN TO COME OVER AND CLAIMS HIS MONEY BECAUSE WE CANNOT RELEASE THE
MONEY UNLESS SOMEBODY APPEALS FOR IT AS THE NEXT OF KIN OR ELATIONS TO
THE DECEASED AS INDICATED IN OUR BANKING GUIDELINE.
UNFORTUNATELY, NEITHER THE FAMILY MEMBERS NOR THE RELATION HAS APPEARED TO
CLAIM THIS MONEY.
AT THIS DISCOVERY, I NOW DECIDED TO MAKE BUSINESS WITH YOU AND RELEASE THE
MONEY TO YOU AS THE NEXT OF KIN OR RELATION OF THE DECEASED FOR SAFETY AND
SUBSEQUENT SINCE NOBODY IS COMING FOR IT AND I DON'T WANT THIS MONEY TO GO
INTO THE BANKS TREASURY AS AN UNCLAIMED BILL.
THE BANKING LAW AND GUIDELINES HERE STIPULATED THAT IF SUCH MONEY REMAINED
UNCLAIMED AFTER FOURTEEN YEARS THE MONEY WILL BE TRANSFERRED INTO THE BANK
TREASURY AS AN 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. FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE, I AREE TO OFFER YOU 30%
AS MY FOREIGN PARTNER AFTER THE MONEY WILL BE TRANSFER INTO YOUR NOMINATED
BANK ACCOUNT.
THEREFORE TO ENABLE THE IMMEDIATE TRANSFER OF THE FUND TO YOU AS
INDICATED, YOU MUST APPLY FIRST TO THE BANK AS A RELATION OR NEXT OF KIN
OF THE ENCASED, INDICATING YOUR BANK INFORMATION WHERE THE MONEY WILL BE
REMITTED.
I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO HEAR FROM YOU, SO THAT I WILL SEND YOU THE TEXT OF
APPLICATION FORM WHICH YOU WILL FILL-IN YOUR DETAILS WHERE THE MONEY WILL
BE REMITTED AND RESENT TO THE BANK AS NEXT OF KIN OR HIS BUSINESS PARTNER
FOR THE IMMEDIATE CLAIM.
YOURS FAITHFULLY
