FROM THE DESK OF:MR. ADEL YUSUF.
AUDITING UNIT,BANK OF AFRICAN(BOA)
OUAGADOUGOU BURKINA-FASO,
WEST AFRICA.
PHONE:00226-76-59-00-23.
Dear Friend,
I am Mr.Adel Yusuf.The Director in charge of Auditing section BANK OF
AFRICAN (B.O.A)Ouagadougou Burkina-Faso in West Africa.Forgive my
indignation if this message comes to you as a surprise.I have decided to
contact you on a project that will be very beneficial to both of us. During
our auditing in this Bank,I came across some amount of money belonging to a
deceased foreigner who died with his entire family on October 31st 1999 in a
plane crash.The fund has been dormant in his account with this Bank without
any claim of the fund in our custody from his relation before my discovery
to this development.He was a Contractor/Enviromentalist.
The said amount was USA.S$7.5M(SEVEN MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED
STATES DOLLARS).I want you to know that I never master minded the death of
the deceased fellow and his entire family.Their death is a accour naturally.
All the whole arrangement to put claim over this fund as the Bonafide next
of kin to the deceased, has been put in place and directives will be relayed
to you as soon as you indicate your interest and willingness to assist me
and also benefit your self to this great business opportunity.In this
country as a civil servant(A Banker),we are not allowed to operate a foreign
account.
This is the actual reason why it will require a second party or fellow who
will forward claims as the next of kin to the Bank and also present an
account where he will need the money to be re-transferred into on his
request.Our Banking law stipulates that if such money remained unclaimed
after Five years, the money will be transferred into the Bank treasury 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 a Burkinabe
cannot stand as next of kin.I dont want this money to go into the Bank
treasury as unclaimed Bill.Be assured this transaction is 100% risk free.
On conclusion of this Project,you will be entitled to 40% of the total sum
as gratification,while 60% will be for me.Please you have been adviced to
keep "top secret" as I am still in service and intend to retire from
service after I conclude this deal with you. I will fly down to your country
or any place we shall agreed on for subsequent sharing of the fund
according to percentages previously indicated and further investment will be
discussed.On your acceptance to be my partner please email or you call me on
phone +226-76-59-00-23. for a brief discussion before we proceed.
I look forward to receive your urgent reply.
Yours Faithfully,
Mr.Adel Yusuf.
