BILL AND EXCHANGE
FOREIGN REMITTANCE DEPT.
BANK OF AFRICA ( BOA)
OUAGADOUGOU, BURKINA FASO ,
phone +226 76 50 73 31
Dear friend,
Compliments,
I am the manager of bill and exchange at the foreign remittance
department of BANK OF AFRICA.
I am writting to seek your coperation over this business deal.
In my department, I discovered an abandoned sum of$15million
USD(Fifteen million US dollars)only , in an account that belongs to one of
our foreign customers who died along with his entire family in a plane crash
that took place in Kenya,East Africa,the Late DR. GEORGE BRUMLEY,a citizen
of Atlanta,United States of America but naturalised in
Burkinafaso,WestAfrica and contractor with ECOWAS,(ECONOMIC COMMUNITY OF
WEST AFRICAN STATES) .
Since we got information about his death, we have been expecting his
next of kin to come over and claim his money because it cannot be released
unless somebody applies for it as next of kin or relation to the deceased as
indicated in our banking guidelines but unfortunately , all his supposed
next of kin or relation died alongside with him at the plane crash leaving
nobody behind for the claim.
It is therefore upon this discovery that I now decided to makethis businness
proposal to you and release the money to you via your foreign bank account
as the next of kin or relation to the
deceased for safety and subsequent disbursement since nobody is coming for
it and this money Could go into the Bank treasury as unclaimed Bill.
The Banking law and guideline here stipulates that if such money
remainedunclamed after four years, the money will betransfered into the
Bank treasury as unclaimed fund.The request for your assistance and maximum
co-operation as a foreign citizen to stand as the next of kin in this
business is occasioned by the fact that the deceased customer was a
foreigner and a Burkinabe cannot stand as next of kin to a foreigner.
40 % of this money will be for you as my foreign partner, inrespect to
the provision of a foreign account.
10 %will be set aside for expences incured during the business and 50 %
would be for me.There after I will come over to your country for
disbursement accoding 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 the relation or next of
kin to the deceased,indicating your claims and wherein the money will be
remitted .
Upon receipt of your reply, I will send to you by fax or email the text
of application which you will fill and submit to the office of the foreign
remittance director of the bank of africa. I will not fail to bring to your
notice that this transaction is stricly confidential and i will use my
position in this Bank to effect a hitch free transfer of the fund.
You should contact me immediately as soon as you receive this letter.
Trusting to hear from you immediately.
Please , visit the website below for more informations about the Plane
Crash and the tragic death of the deceased and his entire family, Late
DR.GEORGE BRUMLEY.
