FROM DR ALI AHMED,
DIRECTOR IN CHARGE OF AUDITING,
AUDITING AND ACCOUNTING SECTION,
BANK OF AFRICA OUAGADOUGOU BURKINA FASO,
DIRECT TEL/LINE;00226 70-15-08-68,
ALTERNATIVE E-MAIL (al_ahmed03@yahoo.ca ).
Dear Friend,
I am Dr Ali, the manager in charge of auditing and accounting section of
Bank Of Africa(BOA) Ouagadougou Burkina-faso West Africa with due respect
and regard.I have decided to contact you on a business transaction that will
be very beneficial to both of us at the end of the transaction .
During our investigation and auditing in this bank, my department came
across a very huge sum of money belonging to a deceased person who died on
July 21st 2003 in a plane crash and the fund has been dormant in his
account with this Bank without any claim of the fund in our custody either
from his family or relation before our discovery to this development.The
said amount was U.S $10M (Ten million United States dollars).
As it may interest you to know, I got your impressive information through
the Burkina-faso chamber of commerce on foreign business relations here in
Ouagadougou Burkina-faso.Meanwhile all the whole arrangement to put claim
over this fund as the bonafide next of kin to the deceased, get the required
approval and transfer this money to a foreign account has been put in place
and directives and needed information will be relayed to you as soon as you
indicate your interest and willingness to assist us and also benefit your
self to this great business opportunity.
In fact I could have done this deal alone but because of my position in this
country as a civil servant(A Banker),we are not allowed to operate a foreign
account and would eventually raise an eye brow on my side during the time of
transfer because I work in this bank. This is the actual reason why it will
require a second party or fellow who will forward claims as the next of kin
with affidavit of trust of oath to the Bank and also present a foreign
account where he will need the money to be re-transferred into on his
request as it may be after due verification and clarification by the
correspondent branch of the bank where the whole money will be remitted from
to your own designation bank account.I will not fail to inform you that this
transaction is 100% risk free.
On smooth conclusion of this transaction, you will be entitled to 30% of the
total sum as gratification, while 10% will be set aside to take care of
expenses that may arise during the time of transfer and also telephone
bills, while 60% will be for me and my partners. Please, you have been
adviced to keep "top secret" as I am still in service and intend to retire
from service after we conclude this deal with you.I will be monitoring the
whole situation here in this bank until you confirm the money in your
account and ask me to come down to your country for subsequent sharing of
the fund according to percentages previously indicated and further
investment, either in your country or any country you advice us to invest
in.All other necessary vital information will be sent to you when I hear
from you.I look forward to recieve your response.
Please communicate with me through my private e_mail address for security
reasons.
For your view alone, kindly visit the web page of the deceased client :

Yours faithfully,
Dr Ali.
