FROM THE DESK OF

MR.SCHRIFF HANANZA Accountant General

BANK OF AFRICA

OUAGADOUGOU,BURKINA FASO.

Dear Friend,

First, I must solicit your confidence in this transaction.This is by virtue of its nature as being utterly CONFIDENTIAL AND TOP SECRET. However We were directed last year 2004 by the council of ministers to carry out a careful and comprehensive review of all overdue payments to foreign customers and to effect payments immediately.

During the above mentioned process, an abandoned sum of US$15.5M (fifteen million five hundred thousand US dollars)was discovered in an account that belongs to one of our foreign customer who died along with his entire family in a plane crash that happened in Kenya, East Africa.

Since we got information about his death, the Bank have been expecting his next of kin to come over and claim his money because this fund can not be release unless some body applies for it as next of kin or relation to the deceased as indicated in our banking guidelines and laws but unfortunately all his supposed next of kin or relation died alongside with him at the plane crash leaving nobody behind for the claim.

Please, I want you to visit the website below for more information about the Plane Crash: www.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/africa/07/20/kenya.crash/index.html

It is therefore upon this discovery that i as the Accountant General in the Bank now decided to make this business 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.

I agree that 30% of this money will be for you as a foreign partner, in respect to the provision of a foreign account,and 60% would be for me, while 10% will be for expenses incure during the transaction. There after I will visit your country for disbursement according to the percentage indicated.

Therefore, to enable the immediate transfer of this fund to you as arranged, you must apply first to the bank as relation or next of kin of the deceased customer and give the Bank your information wherein the money will be remitted.

Upon the receipt of your reply, I will send to you by email the text of the application to fill and send to the bank. I will not fail to bring to your notice that this transaction is hitch-free risk and this transaction will only take us 14 banking days because as a banker, I know what to do and move the fund into your account without any delay and that you should not entertain any atom of fear as all required arrangement have been made for the transfer.

You should contact me as soon as you receive this letter so that I will send you the text of the application to apply to the bank and the data information of the deceased customer.

Yours faithfully.

MR. SCHRIFF HANANZA
