Subject: DEAR FRIEND)
FROM MR.ISSAK IBRAHIM.
Auditing And Accounting Department
Bank Of Africa, Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso.
DEAR FRIEND)
I am the manager in charge of auditing and accounting department
bank of Africa ouagadougou burkina faso .With 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 the transaction .
In my department i discovered an abandoned sum of $ 10.5m ( ten
million five hundred thousand us dollars ) in an account that belong
to one of our foriengn customer who died along with his family on
(NOVEMBER 31st 2000) in a plane crash and the fund has been dormat in
his account with this bank without any claim of fund since we got
the infomation about his death , the bank has been expecting his
next of kin to come down and claim his money because the bank cannot
release it uuunless somebody applies for it as next of kin or relation
to the deceased as indicated in our banking principles.
It is therefore upon this discovery that i have decided to make
this business proposal to you so that the bank will 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 dont want this money to go into the bank treasury as unclaimed
bill because the banking law and guidelines here stipulate that if
such money remained unclaimed after( FIVE YEARS) the money will be
transfered into the bank treasury as un claimed fund . The request
of foreigner as next of kin in this business is occasioned by the
fact that the customer was a foreiner and Burkinabe cannot stand as
next of kin to a foreiner.
In this transaction ( 30 percent ) of this money will be for you as
foreign partner in respect of the provision of a foreign account ,
(10 percent ) will be set aside for expenses incured during the
business and ( 60 percent would be for me.
There after i will visit your country for disbursement according to
the percentage indicated. Therefore to enable the immediate transfer
of this fund into your account as arranged , you must apply first to the
bank
as relation or next of kin of the deceased indicating your bank name,
your account number , your telephone and fax number for easy
efective communication and location where the money will be
remmitted.
Upon receipt of your reply , i will send to you by fax or mail the
text of appliction which you shall fill and send to the bank and i
will not fail to bring to your notice that this transaction is risk
free and that you should not entertain any fear as all arrangements
have been made for the transfer.
You should contact me immidiately as soon as you receive this
message .
Thanks for your co-operation.
Your sincerely
MR.ISSAK IBRAHIM.
