FROM THE DESK OF MRS TITI MUSTAPHA
BILL AND EXCHANGE MANAGER
FOREIGN REMITTANCE DEPT.
THE AFRICAN BANK (T A B)
OUAGADOUGOU BURKINA FASO
DEAR Friend,
I am the manager of bill and exchange at the foreign remittance department
of The African Bank. I am writing, following the impressive information
about you through one of my friends who runs a consultancy firm in your
country. He assured me of your capability and reliability to champion this
business opportunity.
In my department we discovered an abandoned sum of $12.5m dollars (Twelve
million five hundred thousand USD) in an account that belongs to one of our
foreign customers who died along with his entire family in a plane crash
that took place in Kenya, East Africa.
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
some body applies for it as next of kin or relation to the deceased as
indicated in our banking guidlines and laws, 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, I 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.
The banking law and guidine here stipulates that if such money remained
unclaimed after six years, the money will be tranfered into the bank as
unclaimed bill
I therefore agree that 40% of this money will be for you as foreigner
partner, in respect to the provision of a foreign account, 10% will be set
aside for expenses incured during the business and 50% would be for me.There
after I will visit your country for disbursement according to the
percentages 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 to the deceased
indicating your bank name, your bank account number, your private telephone
and fax number for easy and effective communication and location where in
the money will be remitted.
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
immediately as soon as you receive this letter.
Due to the nature of confidentiality in this Transaction I would want you to
contact me via my alternative email address mrs_titi.0@hotmail.com.
Trusting to hear from you immediately.
Yours faithfully,
MRS TITI MUSTAPHA.
