Subject: Can We Work this out together?.
Dearest Friend,
I am the account officer of Banque de l'Afrique (B.O.A). I am writing so
we can go into business venture together your assuring me of your capability
and reliability to champion this business opportunity will be highly appreciated.
In my department we discovered an abandoned sum of $18.5m US dollars (eighteen
million, five hundred thousand U.S dollars) .In an account that belongs
to one of our foreign customers who died along with his entire family in
a concord plane crash in the year 2000 in paris that almost took the whole
life of the passengers on board.
Since we got information about his death, we have been expecting his next
of kin to come over and claim his money because we cannot release unless
somebody applies for it as next of kin or relation to the deceased as indicated
in our banking guidelines, but unfortunately we learnt that all his the
plane crash leaving nobody behind for the claim. It is therefore upon this
discovery that I 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 for it and
l don't want this money to go into the Bank treasury as unclaimed Bill.
The Banking law and guideline here stipulates that if such money remained
unclamed after Six years, the money will be transfered into the Bank treasury
account 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 I,a Burkinabe cannot stand
as next of kin to a foreigner.
l agree that 35 % of this money will be for you as foreign partner,in respect
to the provision of a foreign account,10 % will be set aside for expenses
incured during the business and 60 % would be for me.
Thereafter,I will visit your country for disbursement according to the percentages
indicated.
Therefore to enable the immediate transfer of this fund to you as arranged,you
must apply first to the bank as relations or next of kin of the deceased
indicating your bank name, your bank account number, your private telephone
and fax numbers for easy and effective communication and location where-in
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,
Hassan Bakayoko.
N/B.My intention of writing you through email is because I beleive it is
very confidential
