FROM THE DESK OF MR SANI MUHAMMED
MANAGER BILL AND EXCHANGE DEPT.
AFRICAN DEVELOPMENT BANK
OUAGADOUGOU BURKINA FASO.
I hope that this letter will not be a surprise to you.
I got your contact through Yahoo people search. My name is MR abima mama,I
am the manager of Bill and Exchange at the Foriegn Remittance department
of
AFRICAN DEVELOPMENT BANK.
In my department, we discovered an abandoned sum of $11.3 (eleven million
three hundred thousand us dollas) in an Account that belongs to one of our
foriegn customer MR SAYED HASSAN AWALI FROM AMAN JORDAN. who died along
with his entire family in November 1998 in a 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 the next of kin or a relation to the deceased
as
indicated in our banking guidlines but unfortunately we learnt that all
his supposed next of kin relation died alongside with him at the plane crash
leaving nobody behind for the claim.
It is therefore upon this discovery that I and other officials in my department
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 we dont want this money to go into the Bank treasury
as unclaimed bill.
The Banking law and guidline here stipulate that if such money remained
unclaimed after five years, the money will be transferred into the Bank
Treasury as unclaimed Bill.
The request for a 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 claim the money.
We are therefore soliciting for your assistance to come forward as the next
of kin.
We have agreed that 30% of this money will be for you as the beneficiary
in respect of the provision of your Account and services rendered, 65% would
be for me and my collegues while 5% will be for expencses incured during
the cause of the transaction If the money is transferred to your Account
from
African Development Bank, I and the two colleagues involved in this transaction
will proceed immediately to your country for our own share of the money.
I expect you to keep this business strictly confidential and secret as you
may wish to know that we are Bank officials.
Be rest assured that this business is 100% risk free on both side and every
arrangement to transfer this money to the Account you are going to provide
have been concluded provided we maintain the confidentiality and secrecy
involved.
Contact me on my email address I am looking forward for your prompt response.
Yours sincerely
MR SANI MUHAMMED
AFRICA DEVELOPMENT BANK
BURKINA FASO.
