Dear Friend,
I am Mrs Queen Adams, the director in charge of auditing and accounting
section of International Bank Of Africa(IBA)Ouagadougou Burkina-faso West
Africa with due respect and regard.I have decided to contact you on a business
transaction that will be very beneficial to both of us at the end of the
transaction.I came across a very huge sum of money belonging to a deceased
person who died on October 31st 1999 in a plane crash and the fund has been
dormant in his account with this Bank without any claim of the fund in our
custody either from his family or relation before our discovery to this
development.The said
amount was US$20.2M (Twenty Million Two Hundred Thousand United States Dollars).
As it may interest you to know,I got your impressive information while
browsing the Internet looking for a faithful Foreigner who can assist me
in transferring this Deceased fund into his/her Account.When i came across
your E-mail Address,i made up my mind to contact you so that you will help
me to claim this fund as the Deceased next of kin since he don't have any
relation who can claim his fund.
Meanwhile all the whole arrangement to put claim over this fund as the bonafide
next of kin to the deceased,get the required approval and transfer this
money to a foreign account has been put in place and directives and needed
information 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 fact I could have done this deal alone but because of my position in
this country as a civil servant(A Banker)i are not allowed to operate a
foreign account and would eventually raise an eye brow on my side during
the time of transfer because I work in this bank.
This is the actual reason why it will require a second party or fellow who
will forward claims as the next of kin with affidavit of trust of oath to
the Bank and also present a foreign account where he will need the money
to be re-transferred into on his request as it may be after due verification
and clarification by the correspondent branch of the bank where the whole
money will be remitted from to your own designation bank account.
I will not fail to inform you that this transaction is 100% risk free.On
smooth conclusion of this transaction,
you will be entitled to 30% of the total sum as gratification, while 10%
will be set aside to take care of expenses that may arise during the time
of transfer and also telephone bills, 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 this total fund arrives your account.
I will be monitoring the whole situation here in this bank until you confirm
the money in your account and ask me to come down to your country for subsequent
sharing of the fund according to percentages previously indicated and further
investment,either in your country or any country you may even advice. All
other necessary vital information will be sent to you when I hear from you.I
look forward to receive your e-mail urgently in other for us to start the
transaction with out delay. Please contact me via my CONFIDENTIAL email
address DETAILS:
Yours faithfully,
Mrs Queen Adams
