FROM THE DESK OF MR.OBODO DAVID
AUDITING AND ACCOUNTING SECTION OF
BANK OF AFRICA(BOA).
OUAGADOUGOU BURKINA-FASO.
TEL: 00 226 76-54-18-98
Dear Sir,
I am MR obodo david the director in charge of
auditing and accounting section of Bank Of
Africa(BOA) 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 Mr.Sheu Yuan-dong who
died on February 16,1998 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 $7.8M (seven million eight
hundred 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 bona fide next of kin to the
deceased,to 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 own designation 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. Please, you have been advised 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 hansome reply via this
email address below or you call me on my private phone
number above.This is my alternative EMAIL
obodo_ david@yahoo.com,
Yours faithfully,
MR obodo david.
