FOREIGN REMMITTANCE DEPT.
BANQUE INTERNATIONALE D'ABIDJAN
ABIDJAN(COTE D'IVOIRE)
Dear Sir/Madam.
With due respect and huminity, I write to you this
proposal.I am the manager of bill and exchange at the
foreign remittance department of Banque Internationale
d'Abidjan . I am writing following the impressive
information about you through my research in internet
search.In my department, we discovered an abandoned
sum of U.S$10.5m USdollars (ten million, five hundred
thousand US 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 along side with him at the plane crash
leaving nobody behind for the claims. It is therefore upon
this discovery that I and other officials in my department
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 we dont 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.
We agree that 15 % of this money will be for you as foreign partner, in
respect to the provision of a foreign account, 5 % will be for reimbursement
of any expenses incured during the curse of the transaction and 80 % would
be for me and my colleagues. There after I and my colleagues will visit
your country 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
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 letter.
Trusting to hear from you immediately.
Yours faithfully,
FROM:DR.OLIVER TUREY
BANQUE INTERNATIONALE D'ABIDJAN.
