DOLLARS(US$10.5million ) ONLY INTO YOUR ACCOUNT.
You may be surprise to receive this message from me since you don't know me

information through an international business equiry .

is needed .
Permit me to introduce myself. I amMR MR DENIS MOHAMMED. the Manager
of auditing and accounting unit at the foreign remittance department of BANK
OF AFRICA In My department I discovered an abandoned sum of$ 10.5m US
dollars ( 10.5 MILLIONS US dollars) . In an
account that belongs to one of our foreign customer who died along with his
entire family in november 2002 in a plane crash.
Since I got information about his death, I have been expecting his next of
kin to come over and claim his money because wecannot release it unless
somebody applies for it as next of kin or relation to the deceased
anindicated in our banking guidelines but unfortunately I learnt that all
his supposed next of kin or relation died alongside with him at the
planecrash leaving nobody behind for the claim.
It is therefore upon this discovery that I and other officials in my
department now decided to make 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 I 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 five years, the money will be transfered into the Bank
treasury as unclaimed fund.
The request of foreigner as next of kin in this business is
occasioned bythe fact that the customer was a foreigner and a Burkinabe
cannot stand as next of kin to a foreigner. I agree that 30 % of this
money will be for you as foreign partner, inrespect to the provision of a
foreign account, 10 %will be set aside for expenses incured during the
business and 60 % would be for me .
There after I will visit your country with my family for disbursement
according 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 relations or next of kin of the deceased
indicating your bank name, your bank account number, your private telephone
and fax number for easy and effective communication and location where in
the money will be remitted .
On your acceptance, I will send to the text of application by fax or by
email which you are going to apply to the bank ; and provide materials
confirmation references and inquiries regarding payment formalities from the
payment Agency. I willbe handling official
protocols here and expect you to undertake international responsibilities as
I am assuring you of a risk free transaction provided you display maturity.
Therefore, if you are willing and interested to render the needed
assistance, endeavor to reply through my email address .
Thanking you in anticipation of your kind
considerations.
Yours sincerely.
MR DENIS MOHAMMED
