Dr aku Mohammed
Arab Development Bank
Ouagadougou
Burkina Faso
+226 76 66 24 91.
Let me start by introducing myself. I am Dr aku Mohammed Director of operations
Arab Development Bank. I have an obscured business suggestion for you.
Before the U.S and Iraqi war our client Major Fadi Bassem who was with the
Iraqi forces and also a business man made a numbered fixed deposit for 18
calendar months, with a value of thirty million United State Dollars us$30million
, in my branch. Upon maturity several notices was sent to him, even during
the war earlier this year. Again after the war another notification was
sent and still no response came from him. We later found out that the Major
and his family had been killed during the war in a bomb blast that hit their
home.
After further investigations it was also discovered that Major Fadi Basem
did not declare any next of kin in his official papers including the paper
work of his bank deposit. And he also confided in me the last time he was
at my office that no one except me knew of his deposit in my bank. As you
can see, twenty four million five hundred thousand United State Dollars
is still lying in my bank and no one will ever come forward to claim it.
What bothers me most is that according to the by-laws of my country at
the expiration of 3 years the funds will revert to the ownership of the
Burkina Faso Government if nobody applies to claim the funds. Against this
backdrop, my suggestion to you is that I will like you as a foreigner to
stand as the next of kin to Major Fadi Bassem so that you will be able to
receive his funds.
WHAT IS TO BE DONE:
I want you to know that I have had everything planned out so that we will
come out successful. I have contacted an attorney that will prepare the
necessary document that will back you up
as the next of kin to Major Fadi Basem, all that is required from you at
this stage is for you to provide me with your full name and address so that
the attorney can commence his job, after you have been made the next of
kin, the attorney will also file in for claims on your behalf and secure
the necessary documentation for the move of the funds to an account that
will be provided by you. There is no risk involved at all in the matter
as we are going
to adopt a legalized method and the attorney will prepare all the necessary
documents. Please endeavour to observe utmost discretion in all matters
concerning this issue. Once the funds have been transferred, we shall share
in the ratio of 60% for me, 35% for you and 5% for any expenses
incurred during the course of this operation. Should you be interested please
send me your private phone and fax numbers for easy communication.
and finally after that I shall provide you with more details of this operation.
Your earliest response to this letter will be appreciated.
Kind Regards
Dr aku Mohammed
