FROM THE DESK OF Dr. NICHOLAS CHILE
AUDITING AND ACCOUNTING UNIT.
FOREIGN REMITTANCE DEPT.
AFRICAN DEVELOPMENT BANK (ADB)ANNEX
OUAGA-BURKINA FASO
I Am Dr.Nicholas Chile ,the Manager in charge of auditing and accounting
unit foreign remittance department of AFRICAN DEVELOPMENT BANK(ADB) Ouaga-Burkina
Faso in West Africa, with due respect and regards, 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 my investigation and auditing in the
bank, I department came across a very huge sum of money belonging to a deceased
person, a foreigner who died in a plane crash incident, you can also confirm
this in the website as follow: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/859479.stm </Redirect/news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/859479.stm>
The fund has been dormant in his account with the bank without any claim
of the fund in our custody either from his family or relation before our
discovery to this development.Although personally, I kept this information
secret within myself to enable the whole plans and idea be profitable and
successful during the time of execution, The amount involved is USD$15.000,000.(fifteen
million us dollars.)Meanwhile the whole arrangement and directives needed
to put claim over this fund as the confide next of kin to the deceased,
will be forward to you upon your acceptance 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, 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 to designated 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 70% will be for me Please, you have been
advised to keep top secret as we are still in service and intend to retire
from service after we conclude this deal with you. I will be monitoring
the whole situation here in the bank until you confirm the money in your
account and ask us 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 other country you may advice us to invest
in.All other necessary information will be sent to you when I hear from
you.I suggest you get back to me as soon as possible stating your wish in
this deal.

DU BUREAU DE DR.NICHOLAS CHILE
DIRECTEUR BUREAU DE CHANGE
BAD(BANQUE AFRICAINE DE DEVE-
LOPPEMENT)
OUAGADOUGOU BURKINA-FASO.
Je suis le directeur du bureau de changes à la BAD-burkina.Je m'appelle
Dr.Nicholas Chile. Dans mon département,il a été découvert une importante
somme d'argent qui appartenait à un de nos clients qui mourut lors d'un
accident d'avion en Novembre 1998 avec sa famille entière ne laissant personne
pour réclamer cette fortune qui s'élève à $15 M USD(américains).Depuis lors,personne
ne s'est présenté pour réclamer cette somme qui se trouve dans notre banque.Or,les
règlements bancaires en Afrique stipulent que, si une telle somme reste
sans revendication après une période de 5ans,ceci doit etre virée dans dans
le compte de trésor bancaire.C'est afin d'éviter que ce fond profite au
gouvernement burkinabè que mon collègue et moi avons décidé de chercher
un partenaire étranger qui peu nous aider à faire transférer cette somme
dans son compte bancaire.Ceci dit,vous devrez vous présenter au niveau de
la banque comme héritier du défunt afin de devenir bénéficiaire de ce fond.Le
choix d'un étranger pour jouer ce role révèle du fait qu'un burkinabè ne
peut pas se présenter comme héritier(e)de notre défunt client Nous acceptons
que vous aurez les 30% du partage,mon collègue et moi aurons les 60% alors
que 10% seront consacrés aux dépenses survenues lors du tansfert.Une fois
ce fond transféré,mon collègue et moi viendrons sur place chez vous en vue
du partage,conformement aux pourcentages sus-indiqués.Ainsi vous devez me
donner toutes vos coordonées,ce qui me permetra de mieux vous connaitre
et de vous envoyer le texte d'application(demande de transfert).Je vous
rassure que ce business est à 100%sans risque et que vous ne devrez mettre
en vous aucun atome de crainte. Veuillez croire cher monsieur,l'expresssion
de mes considérations Please reply me through ( nicho1@email.com )
distinguée.
Merci .
Dr.Nicholas Chile
