ATTEN:
Request For Urgent Business Relationship
My name is Dr. Usman Babajou. I have the pleasure to make this surprising but mutually benefiting business proposal. I am a member of the newly inaugurated committee for the auditing of the foreign accounts in the Bank of the Senegal. During the second phase of the auditing, an account volume at $28 million USD was discovered dormant for 4 years now and it is owned by a dead Islamic contractor famously known as Albib Omar from the republic of Jordan. The members of the committee are interested to send the fund to the government treasury. According to banking rules here in the Senegal such accounts without an interested beneficiary always regarded as government acquired fund.
Based on my love for Islam and the need to upgrade the life of Islamic believers in the world, I hereby advise and solicit that you accept to open up an Islamic NGO or Charitable Organization. I will process the documents necessary to make sure that your newly registered organization will stand as the beneficiary of the $28 million USD. I have every facility to bring the project to reality. An already existing NGO or Charity Organization can as well be used for this purpose. I am very sure of the success of this transaction within 21 banking days. Furthermore, the banking rules permit no big question for such claim from NGO and Charity organizations. As soon as the approval is made to any designated NGO or Charity Organization forwarded by you, account information shall be need from you for an onward transfer of the fund to the organization's bank account. With these information I guess you are aware of the further requirements for this transaction.
At the successful conclusion of the transfer, your and your Organization will be entitled to a 45% share of the total amount transferred. Another 45% share will be kept for me and for the benefit of some African Islamic NGOS and charity Organization. The remaining 10% shall be there for the reimbursement of any expenses that might incurred by both parties during the transaction.
Upon the receipt of your reply, more information shall be given to you including my private mobile number. I will also like to bring to your notice that this transaction is 100% risk free. Your presence in this place might not be needed. I have carefully mapped out the means to make this transaction work out as soon as possible.
Kindly acknowledge the receipt of this mail through my mail box.
Thank you for your understanding.
Yours truly,
DR. Usman Babajou
