FROM THE DESK OF:MR.AHMED ZONGO
INTERNATION BANK OF AFRICA(I.B.A)
OUAGADOUGOU BURKINA-FASO,
WEST AFRICA.
Dear Friend,
(PRIVATE/CONFIDENTIAL).
I am Ahmed Zongo.the Director in charge of Auditing section Internation
Bank of Africa(I.B.A)Ouagadougou Burkina-Faso in West Africa. Forgive my
indignation if this message comes to you as a surprise. AS IT MAY INTEREST
YOU TO KNOW, I GOT YOUR IMPRESSIVE INFORMATION THROUGH THE INTERNET SEARCH
HERE IN OUAGADOUGOUBURKINA-FASO.
I FASTED AND PRAYED FORTHREE DAYS BEFORE I CONTACT YOU TO BE MY PARTNER.
Ihave decided to contact you on a project that will be very beneficial to
both ofus.During our auditing in this Bank,I came across some amount of
money belonging to a deceased foreigner
Mr.Sheu Yuan-dong who died with his wife and their only daughter on February
16,1998 in a plane crash.The fund has been dormant in his account with this
Bank without any claim of the fund in our custody from his relation before
my discovery to this development. He was the Governor of Taiwan Central(Reserve)Bank.
The said amount is U.S $15.5.00(FIFTEEN MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED
STATES DOLLARS). I want you to know that I never master minded the death
of the deceased fellow. Their death was occured
FOR YOUR INFORMATION BEEN YOU NOT A TAIWANESE WILL NOT POSE ANY PROBLEM
FOR THE SUCESSFUL TRANSFER ON THIS FUND INTO YOUR ACCOUNT. All the whole
arrangement to put claim over this fund as the Bonafide next of kin to
the deceased has been put in place and directives will be relayed to you
as soon as you indicate your interest and willingness to assist me and also
benefit your self to this great business opportunity.
In this country as a civil servant(A Banker),we are not allowed to operate
a foreign account. This is the actual reason why itwill require a second
party or fellow who will forward claims as the next of kin to the Bank and
also present a foreign account where he will need the money to be re-transferred
into on his request. Our Banking law stipulates that if such money remained
unclaimed after seven years, the money will be transferred into the Bank
treasury as unclaimed fund.The request of 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. I dont want this money to go into
the Bank treasury as unclaimed Bill. Be assured this transaction is 100%
risk free.
On conclusion of this Project, you will be entitled to 40% of the total
sum as gratification,while 60% will be for me.Please you have been adviced
to keep "topsecret" as I am still in service and intend to retire from service
after I conclude this deal with you. I will fly down to your country for
subsequent sharing of the fund according to percentages previously indicated
andfurther investment will be discussed.
On your acceptance to be my partner, please email for a brief discussion
before we proceed. Please keep this proposal secret, even if you dont want
to assist me. I look forward to receive your urgent reply.
Yours faithfully,
Mr.Ahmed Zongo.
