TREAT URGENTLY AND CONFIDENTIAL.
Dear ,
HOW are you,first i will explain my self in brief for you before we proceed.I
am the manager of bill and exchange at the foreign remittance department
of BANK OF AFRICA (BOA) I am writing to Seek your interest over a business,
In my department we discovered an abandoned sum of $20m US dollars ( twenty
million US dollars).
In an account that belongs to one of our foreign customer ( MR. ANDREAS
SCHRANNER from Munich, Germany) who died along with his entire family in
November15th 2000 in a plane crash.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/859479.stm
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
his next of kin or relative applies for it as next of kin or relation to
the deceased as indicated in our banking guidelines but unfortunately we
learnt that all his supposed next of kin or relation died alongside with
him at the plane crash leaving nobody behind for the claim.
It is therefore upon this discovery that I and two other officials in my
department now decided to excape with the fund,and as such we vial to make
this business proposal to you so that my bank will release the fund into
your account as the next of kin to our bank deceased customer for safety
and subsequent disbursement since nobody is coming for claims and we don't
want this money to go into the bank treasury.
Infact i know the fund will not even go into the bank treasury,but our top
bank officials(directors)will only share it among themselves into their
accounts.
The Banking law and guideline here in burkina faso stipulates that if any
customer account or property remains unserviceable or dormant,and unclaimed
after five years, the account will be confiscated and transfered into the
Bank treasury as unclaimed bill.
The request of foreigner as next of kin in this business is occasioned by
the fact that the customer was a foreigner and Burkinabe cannot stand as
next of kin to a foreigner.
We agree that 30% of this money will be for you as foreign partner,in respect
to the provision of a foreign account,and your imense contribution to champion
the course of transfering the fund to your account. 10 % will be set aside
for expenses incurred by the both party during the business and 60 % would
be for me and my colleagues.
There after I and my colleagues will visit your country for disbursement
according to the percentages indicated.
Therefore to enable my bank transfer the fund into your account,i will send
to you the text of application which you will send to my bank as next of
kin to the deceased customer and that will be when you indicate your interest
in the business, you must apply first to the bank as relations or next of
kin of our bank deceased indicating your bank name, your bank account number,
your private telephone and fax number for easy and effective communication
and location where in the money will be remitted .
Upon receipt of your reply, I will send to you by fax or email the text
of the application.
I will not fail to bring to your notice that this transaction is risk-free
and that you should not entertain any atom of fear as all required informations
will be perfectly made for you to champion the course of the transaction
with my bank without any hitch or risk .
You should contact me immediately as soon as you receive this letter.
Trusting to hear from you immediately.
Your's sincerely,
MR ALI KERIA.
BILL AND EXCHANGE MANAGER(BOA)
