FROM THE DESK OF SAMIR WATTARA
CHIEF SECURITY OFFICER,
S I T B-SECURITY.
OUAGADOUGOU,BURKINA FASO.
Attention Please ,
I am the chief security officer incharge of operations with the S I T B-SECURITY
here in burkina faso. I am writing, following your address which i got through
the net when i was searching for a sure email contact because of the urgency
of the transaction. And i hope on your releability to champion this business
opportunity with me.
In my department i discovered an abandoned trunks boxes deposited in an
account that belongs to one of our foreign customer who died with him entire
family in a plane crash in November 1999. He makes a confidence to me about
the content of those boxes and went back to his country.
Since we got the information about his death, we have been expecting his
next of kin to come over and claim his Deposit because we cannot release
it unless someone applies for it as next of kin or relation to the deceased
as indicated in our security guidlines and laws. But unfortunately,i learnt
that all his supposed next of kin died along side with him , leaving nobody
behind for the claims.
It is therefore upon this discovery that I now decided to make this business
proposal to you and to release the Trunks boxes to you as the next of kin
to the deceased customer. After you must have claimed the Trunks boxes,
you will invite me to your country for us to share the fortune and you will
also assist me to invest my own share in any lucrative business in your
country.
The security laws and guidlines here stipulates that if such Consignment
remained unclaimed after five years, the consignment will be opened and
the content will be transfered into the Security Treasury as Unclaimed property.
The request for a foreigner as next of kin in this business is occassioned
by the fact that the customer was a foreigner and myself cannot stand as
next of kin to him.
I simply want you to stand as the next of kin or a relation to the deceased
customer. I will monitor the procedure and will give you all the neccessary
informations that will require from you before they can release and effect
the transfer of the consignment to your locality.
May i use this opportunity to inform you that the deceased customer before
he died reliably told me that the Deposited Items in our custody is:
-US$ cash of 50.000.000,00 ( Fifty million us dollars )
-and 500 Kgs of Gold Dust 22 Carats.
I will like you to come in person here in Burkina Faso for the claims, and
you can confirm by yourself so we can conclude this deal.
Upon receipt of your reply, I will send to you my Private Phone number and
my Private E- mail address. 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 release and
subsequent transfer of the Deposit to you.
Everything is on control, I just need your entire collaboration and assistance
to conclude the business.
You should get back to me immediately with your Private Phone / Fax Numbers
if this Proposal interest you,and for us to start the operation. I advice
that we should do everything very fast as there is no time to waste.
Yours faithfully,
Samir WATTARA.
