Subject: URGENT AND CONFIDENTIAL.
Dear friend
I am Mr DIKO CAMARA, Manager(Treasury) of bank of Africa
Burkina faso. (B.O.A)This is an urgent and very confidential business
proposition.
I am writing to seek your cooperation over this business deal. In my
department, I discovered an abandoned sum of US$12,300,000.00, (Twelve
Million, three hundred thousand 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.
GEORGEBRUMLEY, a citizen of Atlanta, United States of America but resident
in Burkina Faso, West Africa and a physician . 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 make this business
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 remained
unclaimed after four years, the money will be transferred 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. 40 % of this money will be for you as my foreign partner, in
respect to the provision of a foreign account. 10 %will be set aside for the
expenses that may be incurred during the business and 50 % would be for
me.
There after I will come over to 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 the
relation or next of kin to the deceased, indicating your claims and where
the money will be remitted. Upon receipt of your reply, I will send to you
by fax or email the
contact of bank which you will and submit to the office of the foreign
remittance director of the bank of Africa Burkina faso. I will not fail to
bring to your notice that this transaction is strictly confidential and I
will use my position in this Bank to effect a hitch free transfer of the
fund.
Please, visit the website below for more information about the Plane
Crash and the tragic death of the deceased and his entire family, Late DR.
GEORGE BRUMLEY.
