Tel:(0226)78864-583
Dear Sir,
I am the Bill and Exchange(assistant) Manager of Bank of Africa (Annex),OUGADOUGOU
BURKINA-FASO.You will be suprised how i got your contact,I got it from the
internet. In my department I discovered an abandoned sum of USD$18.2 MILLION
US Dollars(EIGHTEEN MILLION,TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND US DOLLARS). In an account
that belongs to one of our foreign customer who died along with his wife
and two children in february 1998 in kenya airways 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
i our banking guidelines but unfortunately we learnt that all his supposed
next of kin or relation died alongside with him in the plane crash leaving
nobody behind for the claim. It is therefore upon this discovery that I
in my department now decided to make this business proposals to you and
release the money to you as 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 guidelines here stipulates that if such money remains unclaimed
after four years, the money will be forfieted into the bank treasury as
unclaimed fund. The request of foreigner in this transaction is necessary
because our client was a foreigner and a Burkinabe can not stand as next
of kin to a foreigner. I agree that 30% of this money will be for you as
foreign partner, inrespect to the provision of a foreign account, and 70%
would be for me , after which I shall 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,
and send your account number, your private telephone and fax number for
easy and effective communication and location where the money will be
remitted. Upon receipt of your reply, I will send to you by fax or e-mail
the text of the application. I will not fail to bring to your notice that
this transaction is100% hitch-free. As all required arrangement have been
made for the transfer. You should contac me immediately as soon as you
receive this letter. Trusting to hear from you immediately.I expect your
urgent reply. Best regards.
