The Manager of Audit and Account Department,
African Development Bank/ A.D.B.
Ouagadougou, Burkina-Faso.
Dear Friend,
I hope that you are well today.I am the Manager of Audit
and account dept,ofour bank.So with due respect, i decided
to contact you over this businessfinancial transaction
worth the sum of TWENTY TWO MILLION THREE HUNDREDTHOUSAND
UNITED STATES DOLLARS ($22,300,000m) in other to entrust
this fundinto your bank account.
This is an abandoned fund that belongs to the one of our
bank customers who died along with his entire family on
25th July,2000 in a plane crash disaster. I was very
fortune to meet the deceased file when i was arranging the
old and abandoned customers files of 2000-2001 in other to
submit to the bank managements accordingly for
documentation purposes. Following our banking financial
policy, it was obviously indicated and signed law fully
that if such money remains unclaimed after five years
without somebody been a foreigner apply and claim the fund
as the next of kin , the money will be transferred into the
Bank Treasury as an unclaimed fund. So the request of you
as a foreigner is necessarily needed for the claim because
a citizen of Burkina Faso cannot come forward
to claim the fund since the law does not pave a way for an
indigene to claim such fund.
Since the real beneficary of the fund died , the bank are
expecting the next of kin to apply for the release of the
fund for him or her without delay but unfortunately i
learnt through the investigations which I carried out that
there is nobody behind who can come and claim the
fund.Therefore I want you to apply to the bank with your
reliable bank account details where our bank will transfer
the fund into, and immediately the fund is transferred
into your account ,we will share the fund according to the
percentage ratio below.
SIXTY FIVE PERCENT (65%) of the total fund will be for
me.TWENTY FIVE PERCENT(25%) for you in provision of the
Bank account.FOUR PERCENT(4%) will be for unexpected
expenses which may occur during the transfer.SIX
PERCENT(6%) will be preserved for helping the helpless
people, like charity organization and motherless babies.
Thereafter you will help me to visit your country for
sharing the money according to the percentage indicated
above. So for the immediate transfer of this fund into your
bank account.
as arranged, you must apply first to the bank as the only
existing next of kin to the deceased customer and after
approval which will take place immediately as you applied,
the transfer of the fund into your nominated bank account
will proceed. Please note that you should keep this
business secret until you confirm the transfer into the
bank account which you will provide. And there is NO RISK
in this business. The bank will forward to you all
necessary documents related to the transfer and which will
prove that you make a legal claim of inheritance.
It is true that i prayed before i was pushed forward to
contact you for this business but i want you to pray also
and assure me solemnly that you are a
trsutwothy,reliable,honest and capable to avoid
cheating me in this business.
If you are really sure of your integerity,reply me for my
ulternative email box (ahmedhassan20022@fastermail.com) immediately
for more detailed information for how the process to
transfer the fund into your account will be.
Yours faithfully,
Mr.ahamed hassan.
