AUDITING AND ACCOUNTING UNIT /FOREIGN REMITTANCE DEPT.
BANK OF AFRICA (B O A)OUAGADOUGOU -BF
REQUEST FOR THE URGENT TRANSFER OF THE SUM OF (US$10.5m) ONLY INTO YOUR
ACCOUNT.
You may be surprise to receive this message from me since you don't know
me in person, but for the purpose of introduction., I got your impressive
information through an international business equiry .
But I respectfully insist you read crefully as I am optimistic it will open
doors for unimaginable financial reward for both us.
This business transaction might not fall within the wide spectrum of your
business activities ,but I plead your assistance ,as your flair for profitable
business is needed .
Permit me to introduce myself. I am MR KAZIM IBRAHIM the Manager
of auditing and accounting unit at the foreign remittance department of
BANK OF AFRICA .
In My department I discovered an abandoned sum of$ 10.5 m US dollars (
10.5 MILLIONS US dollars) . In an account that belongs to one of our foreign
customer who died along with his entire family in november 2002 in a plane
crash.
Since I got information about his death, I have been expecting his next
of kin to come over and claim his money because wecannot release it unless
somebody applies for it as next of kin or relation to the deceased anindicated
in our banking guidelines but unfortunately I learnt that all his supposed
next of kin or relation died alongside with him at the planecrash leaving
nobody behind for the claim.
It is therefore upon this discovery that I and other officials in my department
now decided to make 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 for it and I don?t want this money to
go into the Bank treasury as unclaimed Bill.
The Banking law and guideline here stipulates that if such money remained
unclamed after five years, the money will be transfered into the Bank treasury
as unclaimed fund.
The request of foreigner as next of kin in this business is occasioned
bythe fact that the customer was a foreigner and a Burkinabe cannot stand
as next of kin to a foreigner.
I agree that 30 % of this money will be for you as foreign partner, inrespect
to the provision of a foreign account, 10 %will be set aside for expenses
incured during the business and 60 % would be for me . There after I will
visit your country with my family for disbursement according to the percentages
indicated.
Therefore to enable the immediate trnansfer of this fund to you as arranged,
you must apply first to the bank as relations or next of kin of 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 .
On your acceptance, I will send to the text of application by fax or by
email which you are going to apply to the bank ; and provide materials confirmation
references and inquiries regarding payment formalities from the payment
Agency. I willbe handling official protocols here and expect you to undertake
international responsibilities as I am assuring you of a risk free transaction
provided you display maturity.
Therefore, if you are willing and interested to render the needed assistance,
endeavor to reply through my email address ALTERNETIVE BELOW.
kazim_ibrahim@fsmail.net
Thanking you in anticipation of your kind considerations.
Yours sincerely.
