( "REMITTANCE OF $15 MILLION U.S.A DOLLARS
CONFIDENTIAL IS THE CASE")
Compliment Of The Season,
On a very good day. I am (LUCK HUMALO) a senior
staff in file
department in African developent bank (ADB).I got your
contact from a Yahoo Tourist Search.
When i was searching for a foreign partner i assured
of
your capability
and reliability to champion this businees opportunity
when
i prayed to
.In my department we discovered
an abandoned sum
of $ 15 million U.S.A dollars ( fifteen million U.S.A
dollars) . In an
account that belongs to one of our foreign customer
who died along with
his entire family in (Monday 31St July 2000) in a
plane crash. Since we
got information about his death, we have been
expecting his next of kin
to come over and claim his money because we cannot
release it unless
somebody applies for it as next of kin or relation to
the deceased as
indicated in our banking guidelines, but unfortunately
we learnt that all his supposed next of kin or
relation died alongside with him at the
plane crash leaving nobody behind for the claim. It is
therefore upon this discovery that I and one official
in my department now decided to make this 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 we 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 by the fact that the customer
was a foreigner, and a Burkinabe cannot stand as next
of kin to a foreigner. We
agree that 30 % of this money will be for you as
foreign partner, in
respect to the provision of a foreign account, 10 %
will be set aside for expenses incured during the
business and 60 % would be for
;me and my woman colleague. There after I and my
colleague will visit
your country 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 the money will be
remitted.Upon receipt
of your reply, I will send to you by fax or email the
text of the
application I will not fail to bring to your notice
that this transaction is hitch free and that you
should not entertain any atom of fear as all required
arrangements have been made for the transfer.
You should contact me through this my box
immediately as soon
as you receive this letter. Trusting to hear from you
immediately.
Your’s faithfully,
LUCK HUMALO
POST SCRITUM:You have to keep everything secret as to
enable the transfer to move very smoothly in to the account you
will prove to the bank.received my mail, because i don't go to net always.
