MR GEORGE WILLAMS
AUDITING AND ACCOUNTING UNIT.
AFRICA DEVELOPMENT BANK(ADB)
OUAGADOUGOU BURKINA-FASO.
(TOP SECRET)
Dear Friend,
I am MR GEORGE WILLAMS the director in charge of auditing and accounting
section
of Africa Development Bank, (ADB) Ouagadougou Burkina-Faso in 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.
During our investigation and auditing in this bank, my department came
acrossa
very huge sum of money belonging to a deceased person who died on
31stOctober
1999 in a plane crash and the fund has been dormant in his accountwith
this
Bank without any claim of the fund in our custody either fromhis family
or relation before our discovery to this development.
Although personally, I keep this information secret within myself to
enable
the whole plans and idea be Profitable and successful during the time
of
execution. The said amount was U.S $4.5M (four million Five hundred
United
States dollars).
Meanwhile all the whole arrangement to put claim over this fund as the
bonafidenext
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 us 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),we 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 5% will be set aside to take care of
expenses
hat may arise during the time of transfer and also telephone bills,
while
65% 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 I conclude this deal with you.
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 advice us to
invest
in.
All other necessary vital information will be sent to you when I hear
from
you I look forward to
receive your mail at mr_willams900@yahoo.com
Yours faithfully,
MR GEORGE WILLAMS
