FROM THE DESK OF DR.IBRAHIM KARIM
BILL AND EXCHANGE MANAGER
FOREIGN REMITTANCE DEPT.
AFRICAN DEVELOPMENT BANK
OUAGADOUGOU BURKINA FASO
Dearest,
I am DR.IBRAHIM KARIM the manager of bill and exchange at the foreign
remittance department of African Development Bank. I am writing, following
the impressive information about you through one of my friends who runs
a consultancy firm in your country. He assured me of your capability and
reliability to champion this business opportunity.
In my department we discovered an abandoned sum of U.S$12.5m dollars (Twelve
million five hundred thousand USD) in an account that belongs to one
of our foreign customer who died along with his entire family in November
1999 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
some body applies for it as next of kin or relation to the deceased as
indicated in our banking guidlines and laws, 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 , I now 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 I don't want this
money to go into the bank treasury as unclaimed bill.
The banking law and guidine here stipulates that if such money remained
unclaimed after seven years, the money will be tranfered into the bank
as unclaimed bill
I therefore agree that 40% of this money will be for you as foreigner partner,
in respect to the provision of a foreign account, 10% will be set aside
for expenses incured during the business and 50% would be for me.
There after I will 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 as relation or next of kin to the 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.
I will not fail to bring to your notice that this transaction is hitch-free
and that you should not entertain any atom of fear as all required arrangements
have been made for the transfer. You should contact me immediately as soon
as you recieve this letter.
Trusting to hear from you immediately.
Yours faithfully,
DR.IBRAHIM KARIM ( Bill and Exchange Manager.)
