Subject: Urgent assistance.
Gooday,
I am Mr.Ebraheem Hamza,one of the senior managers and the head of Auditing
and Accounting unit of Bank of Africa,Ouaga-Burkina-Faso in West Africa. In
due respect and regard,i have decided
to contact you on a business transaction that will be beneficial to both of
us at the end
of transaction. During our investigation and auditing in the bank, my
department gazetted a huge sum of money belonging to a deceased depositor,a
foreigner who died in october 2000 in a plane crash and the funds has been
dormant in his account with the bank without any claim of the fund in our
custody either from his family or relation before our discovery to this
development.Although personally, i kept this information veiled within my
partners and i,to enable the whole plans and idea profitable and successful
during the time of execution.
The said amount involved is USD$14m (Fourteen million united states
dollars). As it may interest you to know,i got your impressive information
and contact through an international business enquiry.
I beleive you will be viable and capable to champion a business of such
magnitude without any problem .Meanwhile the whole arrangements to put
claim over this fund as the
bonafide next-of-kin to the deceased,gets the required approval and
transfer this money to a foreign account has been put in place and
directives/needed information,will be relayed to you as soon as you indicate
your interest and willingness to assist us and also benefit yourself in this
great business opportunity.In fact,i could have done this deal alone but
because of my position in this country and also as a civil servant,here we
are not allowed to operate a foreign account and would eventually raise an
eyebrow 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-transfered into, on
his request as it may be,after due verification and clarification to
designated 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 25% of the
total sum as gratification,while 5% will be set aside to take care of
expenses that may be incurred during the
time of transfer such as telephone bills ets, while 70% will be for me and
my partners. Please,you have been advised to keep top-secret as we are still
in service and intend to retire from active service after we conclude this
deal with you.I will be monitoring the whole situation here in the bank
until you confirm the money in your account afterwhich we come over to your
country for sharing of the fund according to percentages previously
indicated and for further investment,either in your country or any other
country that would be convenient to invest in.All other necessary
information would be detailed to you when I hear from you.
Kindly get back to me as soon as possible through this alternative and
confidential e-mail account thus:() stating your stand in this deal
