FROM THE DESK OF :MR.HAZIM HUSSAN
AUDITING AND ACCOUNTING SECTION,

OUAGADOUGOU BURKINA-FASO,WEST AFRICA.

Dear Friend,
(TOP SECRET)
I am.MR.HAZIM HUSSAN .the director in charge of auditing and accounting
section of International Bank Of Africa(IBOA) 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 October 31st 1999 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 $15.2M (fifteen million two hundred
thousand 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 owndesignation 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 5% will be set aside to take
care of expenses that may arise during the time of transfer and also
telephone bills, while 65% 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 receive your immediate response through
my email:hazimhussan_0@post.cz
Tel/Fax:00226 76 47 37 19
Yours faithfully,
MR.HAZIM HUSSAN.
