FROM THE DESK OF ABDUL HAMEED,
BILL AND EXCHANGE MANAGER,
FOREIGN REMMITTANCE DEPT.
My Dear ,
With due respect and huminity, I write to you this
proposal.I am the manager of bill and exchange at the
foreign remittance department in our bank here in Abidjan
COTE'D IVOIRE.
I got your contact from a confidential source and I wish
to maintain this confidentiality. So do not ask me how,
when and why. Your contact is very safe between me and you
alone.In my department, we discovered an abandoned sum of
USD$25 MILLION dollars (twenty five million dollars).
In an account that belongs to one of our foreign customer
who died along with his entire family in november 1997 in
a plane crash.
Since we got information about his death, we have been
expecting his next of kin to come forward and claim
his money because we cannot release it unless somebody
applies for it as next of kin or relation to the
deceased as indicated in our banking guidelines and
policies 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
claims. It is therefore upon this discovery that I now
decided to make this businness 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 forth and I don´t want this money to go
into the Bank treasury as unclaimed Bill.
According to our Banking policies and guideline here
which stipulates that if such money remained unclaimed
after five years, the money will automatically be
transfered 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 to a foreigner. 25 % of this money
will be for you as foreign partner, in respect to the
provision of a foreign account, 10 % will be for
reimbursement of any expenses incured during the curse
of the transaction and 65 % 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 of the deceased
indicating your bank name, your bank account number,
your private telephone and fax number for easier and
effective communication and location where 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 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 receive this mail .
Trusting to hear from you immediately.
Your´s faithfully,
ABDUL HAMEED
